Tuesday - March 5

The day started out sunny with bright blue skies......we exercised and around 10, the clouds rolled in, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped!!!     We left for Venice to meet friends for lunch - had misty rain along the way.    Ugh!     What a big change in the weather but nothing compared to what so many others are dealing with.

Met Lee and Tamara at Fins - an excellent lunch and great visit.    We had not seen them since February, 2018, so lots to yak about!

Walked a short distance on the pier - (we wimped out going all the way with the wind and chilly conditions).     Everyone bundled up with jackets, jeans, etc.   Said our good byes, but planning to get together in Bloomington in May.

And then there's this sweet girl who Mommy is trying out new hairdos on???

Where oh where are all the curls?

Stopped at Babcock Farms (near Punta Gorda) on our way back to see what it's all about.    Mark's sister Marilyn is coming in a few weeks and thought we would take her on this tour, have lunch, etc.    Heard about this place for so many years, so time to check it out!!!

Got back to Flo around 5:15, had a light supper and then off to play euchre.   However, no euchre tonight as the big Mardi Gras party was happening here in the park.   So.....Jim and Lydia came to Flo and we had lots of fun playing euchre and Pass the Trash.
