I am officially in a new decade and what fun entering the '70's". Here's how it all came about...
Tuesday....I am 70 (born at 7:05 AM weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz. on 2/20/1948).
A big Happy Birthday to my brother Bob born same day 6 years earlier.
Today was beach day so we left Flo around 9ish and took off (we and thousands of others) on this pretty warm day. Traffic was horrendous and arrived at Fort Myers Beach to meet Doris and Rich around 11:15. We girls walked the beach for a bit and then had lunch on Pincher's patio with Rich and Mark. It was delicious (along with 2 for 1 margaritas). We walked to Santini Plaza so Marilyn could get some souvenir playing cards and then left the island around 2:30 to get ahead of the traffic (not)!!!
Rich, Doris, Pat, Marilyn
Stopped at Wal Mart and then a leisurely trip to Parrot Key for the Gatlin (Darryl and Andrea) dinner show. There were 14 of us (family and friends) and along with a great meal, the show, as always was so much fun and entertaining. 4 of us gals were celebrating birthdays and called upon stage to dance with Darryl. Oh my......and then my friends had a birthday cake which was shared with our group!
Rich, Marilyn, Pat, Doris, Mark
It was a memorable, happy day with phone calls, e-mails, texts, cards, etc.
I am so blessed!!!
Wednesday - after breakfast, we took Marilyn to the airport (sure enjoyed her visit) for her flight back to Chicago.
Bye bye Marilyn.....one final pic with big brother
Mark and I ran some errands and back to Flo. Kathy, Paul, Barb and Roger came around 3 to meet Flo and we enjoyed yummy snacks (thanks to my friends) and drinks. At 5:30 we left for downtown and had dinner at Bella Vita. This is a new place open 5 weeks and had been given rave reviews both by folks we talked to and online. Part of the meal was ok and some really good entrees, but probably not going back anytime soon.
Still being together with these dear friends was so fun as we won't be together till October.

Thursday - another pretty day. Did a load of laundry and after lunch at Gretchen's Country Kitchen
(food truck - shared a tenderloin)
Mark ordering our tenderloin
I took off and ran several errands followed by a haircut by Jewel. Of all the haircuts I've gotten all over the country, Jewel is my very favorite - not only a very sweet gal, but she does a great job!
Tonight we are having leftovers and so good to be home!
