We were up and at'em early to finish packing and then Catrina was lifted out and settled in the boat yard at Sea Love on Ponce Inlet for the next 2 months.

And there she goes....
We picked up our rental car and off we went to New Smyrna Beach to meet 2 couple friends from back home. These folks do not know one another and live about 150 miles apart, but Mark and I realized a few years ago that they have grandsons who are best of friends back in IL.....very small world!!!
Arnie and Faye, Mary Ann and Lou
Had a great lunch and so fun catching up with everyone - ate at The Grille at Riverside on the water.
Said our good byes with a promise to meet again next year. And we were off to Lake Worth to see Philip and Annette. Their friends, Jeff, Ryan, and darling girls, Taylor (21 months) and Maddie (6 months) were visiting from Houston for a few days. Jeff and Ryan became engaged on Catrina a few years ago.......neat couple and now very neat family.

We enjoyed visiting and Grandma (me) cuddling sweet little happy Maddie. We played 7 rounds of dominoes and then it was time to hit the road again as we had a few hours ahead of us and don't like driving in the dark. So.....tonight we are in Florida City and had dinner at Applebees with Mark enjoying his favorite dessert (triple chocolate meltdown - also known as lava cake). Tomorrow.....Key West, here we come and can't wait to see Ryan and the Blue Angels do their thing!!!
Just heard that Mark's Mom will be having more surgery for her melanoma on Monday, followed by reconstructive surgery, hopefully on Tuesday.
