Wednesday - February 12

Happy 7th Birthday to Flo.....wow, how fast the years fly by!

Flo is 7

 A nice relaxing but HOT day.....we met Ron and Vicki at Buckingham Farms and enjoyed our great breakfasts! 

While Vicki and I set up on the patio to play Rummikube, the guys started to do a temporary fix for hot water with success.   Ron was in the heating and air conditioning business - he brought several tools and we were soooo very grateful for his expertise!

Unfortunately, Mark got a bad boo boo when he stood up from working on the floor and hit his forehead on a cabinet....ouch!

Vicki and I played many games - it was very warm today here while snow is falling back in the Midwest!!!

We enjoyed some delicious cake (chocolate, caramel, whipped cream, toffee) from Buckingham Farms that Vicki brought in the afternoon.

We drove downtown later, parked in the Luminary lot and enjoyed a few hours on the 12th floor overlooking the city  - absolutely spectacular evening.    We had drinks and several small plates - all delicious!

Bob (our brother) and Linda were to be on this trip but still back in IL as Bob is having gallbladder surgery tomorrow!    Wishing him all the best and a speedy recovery!

Back to Flo and said our good byes with hugs - very enjoyable visit and look forward to seeing them in Lakeland in one month (and hopefully Bob and Linda).
