Saturday - March 25

 Went to Reconciliation at St. Francis - a different experience as we gathered outside the chapel in the warm sunshine waiting our turn for confession - several of us were from the Midwest so comparing notes on where we were from, how long we're in FL, hurricane damage, etc.

Breakfast at Farmer's Market (71 years old and going strong - Fort Myers longest-running restaurant) for some good ole comfort food.    On home.

Allie and Owen came at 12:30 and we left at 1 for the Barbara Mann theater and "Million Dollar Quartet" in Allie's brand new car - Buick Envision Avenir.  We all had seen this musical before (Allie and Owen in Branson and their community players in Peoria and us in Chicago but way back in 2009 and 2010.)

It was excellent and so enjoyable (music of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis) and how they all came together on December 4, 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis.    Just soo much fun!

Then to the Boathouse for dinner - very busy place and although they said a 1-1.5 hour wait, it was only 1/2 hour.    People people everywhere!!!

Waiting for our table, we walked the docks "our ship has come in" - this beauty is on the
 market for $3.7 million (120')
Lots of laughs when we're together - friends since 1966
After dinner
Back at Cypress Trail - their new wheels (only 110 miles)

Said our good byes but looking forward to when they come visit us in Port Clinton this summer and have some fun on the water with Catrina

Prayers for the folks in Mississippi after that horrific tornado caused so much destruction and loss of life....
