We left CT with Donna and her suitcase for Ella Mae's Diner downtown - so good as always and very busy! We walked thru the hotel and stopped at Dean Street Coffee Roasters for our lattes (Donna and me) and Mark's decaf Americano. We all enjoyed our delicious breakfasts and visiting before............time to take Donna to the airport.
RSW was a zoo this late Friday morning - sooo many travelers. Good bye hugs and as much as I hate good byes, knowing I'll see Donna, Teri and Chris in a month makes me feel much better. Donna is so much fun - always has us laughing and such a gracious guest. She loved "Donna's Den" and we loved having her these past 3 days.

After we left the airport and had some time before my 1:00 eye appointment, so we drove to Six Mile Cypress Slough and walked. Such a neat place that we've heard about (Jim and Lydia have walked this), but we had only driven around the parking lot. Lots of people out on this beautiful day - the sun was shining, it was 70 and no breeze. The boardwalk is either trex or wood - great for walking and enjoying all the natural beauty - a real paradise for bird watchers, the various vegetation, and nature lovers.
Then to Collins Vision for a visual field test. I then chatted with Yvette (counselor) about my upcoming eyelid surgery (February 12th) and she went over the details and gave me a bag of stuff (antibiotic ointment, cooling mask, silicone gel, and scar gel) plus all the instructions! I "guess" I'm ready to go! Yvette had this same surgery just before Thanksgiving - she looks great - she's only 51.
On home....Mark wiped the wax off one side of Flo....she's nice 'n shiny. Other side, another day! We had a nice visit with our neighbor Diane (renting 3 doors away) and made a plan for dinner later in February,
Walked late afternoon - tonight is the annual "Beer Fest" in the park, a very popular event. Mark and I are not into beer, so.....they are serving philly cheesesteaks. The residents bring beer in from their hometown, state, wherever or whatever is their favorite - hundreds of different brands will be available for taste testing!
Enjoy your weekend! Another big storm coming.....cold and wind for SWFL.
