Very cloudy this morning but around 11:15, the sun came out, the heat came on and another pretty day in SWFL.
We 3 went to The Oasis for breakfast. This place is close to downtown and we've been there once before back in 2018. It's always packed but we got there by 8:30 so no wait - food is so delicious! Just a family-type restaurant that's been around for 33 years and still going strong.
After breakfast we got the car washed and ran a few other errands. Played 3-handed euchre with each of us winning a game.
Marilyn and her snickerdoodle bundt cake which she shared with Mark and me
We went to 4:00 Mass and so many streets downtown were closed off, police directing traffic, etc. It's the big Edison Festival of Lights Parade which is a huge event attracting thousands! After Mass, we lucked out getting to Kings Kitchen for dinner (also downtown but a bit out of the way). Wonderful dinner.
Final dinner with Marilyn
My wonderful sea bass with mango salsa served over rice and black beans and veggies
Then to Scoop Me Up to share this fine ice cream shop with Marilyn. We all enjoyed our waffle cones and yummy ice cream and finally on home.
Tomorrow, Mark will take Marilyn to the Fort Myers airport at 5:15 AM for her 7:30 flight back to Chicago. We've had so much fun these past few days and the time just flew.
Tomorrow is my birthday and also brother Bob's. We are meeting Mid Illini boating friends for lunch in Punta Gorda and then driving to Lakeland and celebrate with Bob as he's turning the big "80". Party time with family and friends. We are spending the night with Ron and Vicki and back home on Monday. So no blog till we are home again....
Nighty night!
