Saturday - we had a leisurely morning on Daisy and then met Paul and Kathy and were off to Punta Gorda for the State Farm retiree luncheon at the Elks. Food is always good there and fun visiting and catching up - cool, windy day, but beautiful views overlooking the Peace River.
At 3:00 we were off to the Wyvern Hotel where we met 4 other couples and had drinks on top of this beautiful hotel - breezy, but what spectacular views on this clear, sunny day. Next stop.....the Laishley Crab House for drinks and appetizers - all 12 of house shared a variety of goodies and lots more chatter. Final stop of the day was back to Roger and Carol's lovely condo for dessert (chocolate marble cake, strawberry cake, Key Lime pie - all scrumptious! We've been on the go with several of these long-time friends (through boating) this past week and now time to say good-bye till next year! Very enjoyable day....dropped Paul and Kathy off and on home to Daisy around 9:30.

Sweet little boy taking his Saturday morning nap
Sunday - it was 46 when we got up this morning but nice 'n sunny! We went to 9:00 Mass at St. Columbkille and then to the Sweet Bean Coffee Café - love this place, and although small, it's always busy and food is wonderful (especially the grilled cinnamon bread)!
Mark worked on taxes, I did a load of laundry, walked and did face time with
Anne, Liam and Connor.
Steve, Connie and her sister, Vicky picked us up at 4:15 and we were off to Sue and Jerry's for their annual margarita party attended by 35+ folks from back home. So much wonderful food and margaritas, beer and wine! Just a very fun evening chatting with old and new friends!
Our neighbor at home (Sue) who does our yard work sent this picture today of our house. Sue and others have been telling us that 6 AM-6 PM tomorrow.....yet another dose of wintry weather coming with snow, sleet and ice!
Winter wonderland at HOME SWEET HOME
