Tuesday - March 22

 Lovely cool morning that turned into 90 degrees.    We were off to 9:00 Mass at St. Vincent de Paul only to find an empty parking lot and then duh.....there is no morning mass here on Tuesdays!    Totally forgot when we planned our weekly Lenten Mass for this week.    So, we'll plan for Friday and since we were near Publix, stopped for a few things and then to Dunkin for drinks/donuts (haven't had one of these in a long time)!

On home to put away groceries and tidy up the she shed and put away clean laundry.    

We met Lee and Tamara (long-time friends - the guys worked together at SF and Tamara was Mark's secretary eons ago) at the Boathouse and then back to our place.   They moved to Bradenton permanently from Bloomington this past summer.

Always enjoy catching up with these two and today was another fun visit with a plan for this fall to be together again.     They left around 3 and we settled in Flo with good books and short naps.    Still really hot at 5:30 but windy, so time for a walk.    We did more visiting (Dennis and Jamie, and then Paul, Sue and their visiting family from Springfield, IL)

We had such a big lunch so just a liquid dinner!   😃
