Sunny cool (for Florida - 71) Sunday. We went to 9:30 Mass with Father Robert at St. Francis. The sanctuary has been beautifully decorated for Christmas and today ends the Christmas season with the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. In the bulletin,, they gave a big "THANKS" to Lowe's for their help in decorating ! WOW.....how nice!
We went to The Oasis for breakfast - wow....big crowd. Waited 20 minutes to be seated and then took a while to be waited on by Morgan who was efficient, just so busy. They have outside seating which would've helped with the seating, but no one wanted to sit outside this morning when it was chilly. Cheryl who controls the front desk, taking names, telling us where to sit, cashier, etc., etc. does a great job and been there forever - she's the owner I believe?
Walked in the afternoon and visited with neighbors (Gary and Brenda and the newbies, Garth and Karen who are renting but hope to buy - they are only 53 and 55....youngsters!!!) Karen has done a great job setting up their patio with the furniture, plants, rocks, etc. Very pretty and colorful. They are only here the month of January. Garth said they're trying to win the "renters of the year" award! Ha!
We met Charlotte and Doug at Broadway Palm for buffet dinner and "Buddy Holly" story which was fabulous. Anne, Liam and Connor gave me a gift certificate and we used it for this show......it will go down as one of the best ever! Sooo many big songs and what a treat hearing all those oldies but goodies from so long ago with great performances also by The Big Bopper and Richie Valens.......and then their bright future came to a horrific ending when all 3 were killed in a snow storm in Iowa on February 3, 1959. Buddy was 22 and Richie only 17. A wonderful night of great food and entertainment with dear friends!
Brady is back at Notre Dame for his 2nd semester starting tomorrow. Liam and Connor have one more week left of their Christmas break. Because of the MLK holiday, their classes start the 21st.
