Thursday - November 7

 HAPPY  BIRTHDAY  MARK!  

Our Patriarch

So blessed to have this guy head up our family - thee best hubby, dad, grandpa!   He's a keeper!!!

A fun day for the birthday boy!    I was off to play canasta (2 tables of 6 and 1 table of 4) and later Jim and Mark picked Lydia and me up at the clubhouse and we were off to Capital Grille for a wonderful lunch.    Alyssa and Nicole were our servers and did an excellent job, we all enjoyed our meals and then topped off with complimentary champagne and dessert for all.    So fun to sit and visit with these two - even though we live close by in the park, so nice to just sit,, relax and chat.   Capital Grille is such a top notch place and so happy Fort Myers has one which opened June 24th.

Yummy cobb salad with sliced tenderloin
Jim, Lydia, Pat and Mark
complimentary champagne and dessert
the "Happy Birthday" was chocolate!

Jim drove and after he brought us home, Lydia helped me with the arranging the orchids in the tree - so pretty!    

Mark loved the phone calls, texts, e-mails and gifts (including delicious chocolates from Jim and Lydia that their son Paul made).    All of our kids and grands checked in + 2 of his sisters called and sang "Happy Birthday"!
