Hi all, we are back from a busy, fun 2 days in Venice/North Port. Left Thursday morning after breakfast at The Grind (a favorite coffee shop from last year). Drove to Venice and met Bob,, Linda, Jake, Jennifer and Leia and we girls shopped while the guys had their coffee and sat in the sunshine.
We girls are on a "on a mission"

Had very tasty lunch at Fin's - long wait, but enjoyed drinks overlooking the beautiful gulf and good visit. So good to be together. Said our good-byes (all of the girls did our part to boost the Venice economy) and then Mark and I were off to North Port to see Allie and Owen. Great to be back at their lovely condo, visit, have some wine, delicious dinner and yak the night away. We played 2 games of dominoes (both won by Mark).
Allie and Owen
After a yummy breakfast of butterscotch rolls and fresh fruit, (THANKS for your hospitality, Allie and Owen) we headed back to Venice to spend the day with long-time boating friends from our boating days in Racine. Bob and Carol have a home in Venice and Mark and Barbara from New Bern, NC are spending the month on Anna Marie Island. Been the tradition for several years to meet in Venice, catch up and enjoy lunch (Fin's again - very good)!

We drove out to Casperson Beach - windy and cool, but so pretty...

Stopped at Connie and Steve's with their order for frozen chocolate covered key lime pie and visited over a glass of wine. Back to Daisy around 7.
We are tired, but what a fun whirlwind little getaway we had!!!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
hope it's full of love and sunshine
