Cloudy but warm start to the day. After breakfast we got the therapy/exercising out of the way, did a load of laundry and put some stuff away in she shed (heavier clothing with hopes we won't need for awhile?)
We left around 10:45 and picked up wine and other goodies at Costco, lunch from Culvers and then onto Three Oaks Park where we met Jim, Lydia, Rich and Doris. We spread out our chairs and small tables under big shade trees, enjoyed our lunches and had a delightful almost 4-hour visit. What fun to all be together. Rich and Doris live in the Chicago area and very happy to be here in warm sunny FL and out of the brutal cold and snow.
Doris and Rich
Lydia and Jim
Mark and Pat
The 3 siblings had fun reminiscing about growing up sharing lots of memories of their parents.
We said our good byes with virtual hugs and plan to gather again before Rich and Doris return home the end of February. Mark and I stopped at Norman Love for some wonderful concoctions of candy, desserts and gelato.
Home to wash my car - will be nice after the 19th and we can go thru the car wash again. But it doesn't take long and now all shiny clean.
Did a family zoom tonight - all 16 of us
