Wednesday - January 23

Diana and I did yoga.    Mark exercised and after breakfast we were on our way to Clewiston (about 1 hour away at the bottom end of Lake Okeechobee).     We met Susie, Brenda, Pat, Sue and Jerry for lunch at Roland Martin's Tiki Bar and Grill.   Sooo good to all be together and catch up.    Great food, wonderful music (oldies), and much chatter.     Afterwards we girls shopped at Mary Ann Martins neat little boutique with all of us (except Sue) buying something.    The guys sat outside on the patio and visited.

We said our good byes - so appreciate Susie driving from Wellington and the Fletchers and Michaels from Fort Myers.    GREAT day with GREAT friends!

Super fun day in Clewiston

After lunch we stopped at the post office and I got a good supply for "forever" stamps as the price for first-class stamps are going up to .55 this Sunday.    

On the way home we came upon a stand along the road selling fresh produce and Mexican yard art.    I've wanted something for out lot in Cypress Trail - some sort of colorful critter to put amongst the palm trees, etc.    Found this cute turtle (still to be named)

New little buddy for Lot 102

So horrified to hear about yet another shooting tragedy - today at a bank in Sebring, FL

So sorry to hear Luke has an ear infection and wheezing (could be walking pneumonia)?   He has an inhaler for his cough and antibiotic for ear.   Hope he feels better soon.  😢
