Saturday - Another Beautiful Day Spent with Special Friends!

Ken did his normal morning routine and woke me at 6:30.  The 4 of us did our normal walk, realizing it is the last one we will do together here at the campground for this winter - where did the time go????  Ken took a picture of the sunrise and numerous pictures of all the birds that were along their walk.

How gorgeous???

So many beautiful birds appeared this morning!

An alligator too!

This great blue heron was busy building her nest!  They really
look too large to be tree birds!

Noela and I are getting close to meeting the guys!

A woodstock was trying to take over the blue heron nest!

Our neighborhood eagles!  We see them every morning!

We were back to Wilbur by 8:45, ate breakfast, and Ken and I left to visit Bob and Pat, the lady who had the back surgery about 4 weeks ago and then a heart attack brought on as a result of the surgery, not a heart problem.  She was actually sitting in their lanai when we got there and looked so much better than 2 weeks ago when we visited.  The surgeon is telling her it will be July before she is back to normal, so patience is tough.  We were just thrilled to see her out of bed!

What a great couple that we were blessed to learn to know
even better this winter.  Wishing Pat a speedy and complete
recovery!!

Back to Wilbur and by 11:45 Rick and Joyce were here.  Fortunately he is feeling a lot better, but still gets tired. We sat outside chatting for quite awhile and then came inside for a "snacky" type lunch.  We played 1 game of double deck pinochle which the women won.  Off to the shuffleboard courts where the women had a come from behind victory on the 1st game, but the men won the second game rather handily.  It was a lot of fun.

Back to Wilbur by 4:45 and they headed back home.  Ken and I started getting dinner organized, for we had told Ernie and Noela that we would cook dinner for the 4 of us because they are leaving tomorrow morning.  Ken washed dishes while I made salads and then he grilled pork chops, steaks, and salmon.  I also warmed the leftover beans I had made for the Food Pantry covered dish.  The 4 of us sat down to eat inside Wilbur at 6.  Ken and I did the dishes and then we all went back to watch the sunset and it was another beautiful one.  

Can you see the heart shape?

A beautiful sunset!

Another day is ending!

The men wanted to see which of us is the tallest!  I never
thought there was a question - ME!  I guess not!!!

Noela had picked up this coconut on Pine Island that was sporting a palm tree
and brought it for us to plant on our site.  Ken wanted to measure
it so we can see how much it grows till we return!

Ernie and Noela stopped to say their good-byes to Jim and Joyce before they came back to Wilbur for apple pie and ice cream which they had provided - delicious.  We played about 5 rounds of Uno and the men were ahead when we called it a win for the men around 9:30.  We will see Ernie and Noela in the morning before they leave.

I worked on this blog and Ken did the dessert dishes before we went to bed.
