Monday - February 27

Warm, sunny, breezy day......change in plans for today.    Our Canadian friends, Ron and Lois who winter in Punta Gorda were coming for lunch and boat ride, but both have been sick with the crud - colds, coughs, and chest congestion!    So they cancelled - bummer, but certainly understand and hope they'll be well soon.      We're "hoping" we can meet up with them somewhere, sometime on the east coast.
 
We exercised, I did laundry and Mark got a haircut and ran a few errands.   Later this morning I went for a long walk.    Not that windy inland, but sure blowing strong here at the marina.

Mark worked on his boat projects and at 4:00, we drove downtown and met Shirley and Dick at the Skybar of the Firestone Grill.    Shirley and I went all thru grade/high school together (she was one year younger) and what fun we had this afternoon just yakking away reminiscing over some cool drinks in such a gorgeous setting this warm afternoon.    They are in Naples for February, but down to the last day!

Pat, Shirley, Dick and Mark

Shirley and I are Sublettians and I hope I'll see more of her this year!   We said our good byes and  they drove back to Naples.   Mark and I walked around a bit and had dinner at the American Standard,  new place that was so so.....with so many GOOD places downtown it's hard to choose, but had heard a good review about this place, so...

Some of our kids are on the move tonight - Michael to London; Annette, back to IL and Philip returning to FL.
