Happy New Year Weekend Recap!!

 

I am enjoying the time I get to spend with Cheryl and Pat!  We eat breakfasts together and then they are usually off to see the kids and do whatever has been decided they will all do.  The manatees didn't happen on Saturday.  That is back on the calendar for today, I think.  Pat and Cheryl went to church with me yesterday. We went out for lunch after church and then they went to catch up with the kids.  I think the plan is to go to Disney Springs on Tuesday.  They tell me I am always welcome to join them but I still have stuff to do at home  I think we may get together Thursday evening for dinner.  There are 13 of us, if I join in.  I love their family but I'm not used to all the noise and chaos that goes with that many kiddos for more than a couple of hours!  I am such an old fuddy-duddy!! God bless them!!

On Saturday, I went to Punta Gorda to meet up with the grandkids, Lauren and Tristan.  It is always great to see them and we had a delicious dinner and a lovely couple of hours.  Tristan paid for lunch.  I took the ticket but he took it from me.  They spoil me now.

Here are some of the photos I've taken...

There was a 'regatta' going on and there were around 100 boats.
This boat, bottom right, is the Coast Guard, keeping an eye on it.

You can't really see all the boats and this is just the tail-end of them coming in.

The waitress took our photo.  Tristan's hair is a bit wind-blown.

This was my meal.  I usually get the coconut-crusted mahi.  It is delicious!

Tristan had it too, and Lauren had a salmon salad.

This was taken outside my church yesterday morning. The sun was bright!

Pat took this photo outside Fish City, where we had lunch.

Yesterday evening, I went next door to Marlene and Duane's house for a little early New Year's Eve celebration.  Dee and Bill came, Deborah, Debbie, and Elva also came, and Deborah's son Tommy.  We all brought nibblers and enjoyed a meal and conversation for a few hours. I'm now settled in my happy place, cruising blogs and watching some TV.  Cheryl and Pat have a key if I go to bed before they get back.  They are off tomorrow to see some manatees and I will be doing some laundry and enjoying a day off from the office!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Holy, holy, holy!

Merciful and mighty
