We've had a big day....long walks, bike ride, washed Catrina and Mark had a great chat with his parents and I talked to Dad!!!! Judi, our advocate for Dad is just thee best. She called me tonight and held the phone up to Dad's ear and he said "Hi" - then I did all the jabbering! A real treat for me just to know he was there.
Joel, the mechanic (technician seems to be the title for mechanics now) came and after phone calls back and forth with other technicians, determined Catrina needs a new manifold exhaust, so.....one has been ordered and coming from Georgia tomorrow. They will install once it arrives...............nothing $$$ can't fix!!!!!!!
After we washed the boat, we took off on our bikes to find the Catholic Church which Mark thought was 2 miles away, but it was actually 4 1/4 miles! We did find a very special spot along the way to stop....Sweet Savannah's Bakery and Ice Cream Shoppe. Wow.....very good ice cream and beautiful and flavorful cupcakes and other pastries. We sat in the backyard which was a private garden with pretty furniture, flowery pillows, candles, etc.....My 1 scoop of Heath Bar and Mark's chocolate malt gave us that extra boost to keep on truckin and finally we arrived at St. Pablo's - they have decorated BIG time for Christmas and there is a lovely area that meanders all around with the stations of the cross, statues, benches and so much more - would love to see this at night cause there were lights everywhere!
We walked to The Hurricane for $1 "Taco Tuesdays" - very good and now home resting our tired bods.
Liam and Connor started ice skating lessons tonight and our NC boys are in the heart of basketball!
My brother Bob and Linda are on their way to FL...and so looking forward to visits the next few days from family starting with Philip and Annette this weekend; Bob, Linda, Ron and Vicki, the 17th-19th and then my cousin Jane and Joe will be here for 2 weeks. AND....found out today, their condo is just down the street from where we are! Can't wait for all these folks to arrive for "Fun in the Keys"!!!
