Sunny, warm Sunday and off to 9:30 Mass at St. Francis with Father Anthony, We had wanted to eat breakfast at Bullig (been there once before a long time ago and also had a coffee to go a while back). Not the easiest place to get to, but....when we got there and waiting for a table, a sign by the cashier said "10-15 minute wait for drinks and 45-50 minutes for food"! Yikes....I asked the girl if that was really the case...yes! Mark didn't want to wait that long, (maybe another time), so we went to the pancake/eggs/sausage breakfast that the Knights of Columbus was sponsoring benefitting the school children at St. Francis.
Had a nice visit with a couple from Chicago who moved to FM 8 years ago and also a couple from north of Minneapolis who are down here for 2 weeks. Enjoyed chatting with these folks and breakfast was good and hearty.
On home....finished packing a bag for our little getaway this afternoon. We left at 2 for Bradenton and stopped at Starbucks in Venice for iced coffees (the Black Gold Coffee Roasters which we like is closed Sundays).
Arrived at Lee and Tamara's at 4 and chatted for 1 1/2 hours - so good to catch up (last time we were together was March, 2022 in Fort Myers). Non stop chatter and the time flew by and then time to drive to Pier 22 downtown. What a beautiful place surrounded by ginormous yachts (so nice and happy to see all these beauties floating in the water and lived on or enjoyed compared to the Fort Myers marinas.
Had a wonderful meal and yakked another 2+ hours. Then time to say good bye - we checked into our hotel just a few blocks away and called it a day!
