It's Ash Wednesday and the start of the Lenten season. Mark and I went to 9:00 Mass at St. Vincent de Paul (several from CT were there). Great to see the church so packed!
Came back home, had a quick bite to eat, changed clothes and then off to Arcadia - first to stop at Dollar Tree and then met Joyce and Butch who came from Frostproof at The Arcadia Seafood Grill for lunch! Wow....excellent (crab cakes for Mark and me; shrimp for Joyce and Butch). Right across the hall (this is the old post office and was built in 1926) is the Florida Farmhouse Coffee Shop . How convenient as when we 4 get together, we usually end up in a coffee shop! This was a cute little spot, but both the restaurant and coffee shop were very COLD!
It was so windy today but thought we would sit outside rather than the chilly coffee shop. Mark and I got a table for 4 and had just sat down when a very big gust of wind blew massive amounts of dust and dirt at us. Whoaaaa...no thanks, so went back indoors and found another seating area between the restaurant and coffee shop. Had a great visit....so thankful that Butch is doing really well after his scare from lung cancer. Alleluia to these dear friends!
A stop at the Ranch RV Park to give Joan a pair of earrings from Janet. And she gave us an ice pak for Lydia. It was starting to rain, so a very quick "hi" and "bye".
On home but drove thru some very heavy rain.....and when we got back to CT, not a drop although that changed a short time after when the heavens opened up big time! Yikes!
My "boat sisters" arrived home safe 'n sound this afternoon - sooo many happy memories😊
