August 15th, Friday Focus...

 









I got my house cleaned earlier in the week, after removing the old blinds and breaking down all the cardboard boxes to put in the recycle bin.  Felt good to get that done!

Last night, the Mas Verde dinner group went to Glory Days for dinner, and there were nine of us!!  John and Ginny hadn't joined us in a while.  Bob and Sandy had other plans, so we missed them.  I took a photo, and then the waiter snapped a picture from the other end of the table to get me included!! 

L-R:  Paul, Anne, Sharon, Larry, John, Ginny, Judy, and part of Tim...


Now you can see Tim, and me at the end of the table...

It was a lively group and we were there for a little more than two hours!  Good people, and I am blessed over and over to have them as friends and neighbors.

Speaking of good neighbors, today I am off to St. Petersburg with Susan and Sandy!  A girls' day out to Mazzaro's Italian Market.  Neither of them has been to Mazzaro's, so I am excited to introduce two more friends to one of my favorite places to visit.  I've only been there once since Joe died in 2021.  It was one of his favorite places to go, too.  I'll have more about that on Monday!!  

 

I am meeting up with my friend, Mali, on Saturday for a late lunch/early supper, before going to a book launch event.  It sounds interesting.  She is a friend of Mali's, so I'm looking forward to it.  I'm also looking forward to catching up with Mali.  It's been too long since we got together.


That's all I've got for now!  Thanks for checking in, and I wish you a lovely weekend!!

Peace and Hugs!!

What a fellowship,
What a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness,
What a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

  4. Wonderful photo, Terri! I was just thinking (out of the blue) about Mazzaro's the other day ... ya, I'm a bit envious. While entrepreneurship's no longer in my wheelhouse, this book launch sounds interesting. Enjoy!

  7. You have sung the praises of Mazzaro's in the past. I look forward to what you have to say about it next week. It was featured on a TV news spot earlier this summer. Looks like a great place to visit.
