After the service, the 4 of us went to Denny's for our usual Sunday morning breakfast. We were back to Wilbur with just enough time to change clothes, pack our beach bag and drive to Harry and Carolyn's home (they were with us on the mission trip to Louisiana) to take us boating for the afternoon. We appreciated seeing their beautiful home (they are permanent residents of Florida) with a boat lift behind their home sitting on a gorgeous canal.
We were on the water for about 3 hours and it was a perfect day. They took us all around the area to see some of the huge "mansions" with amazing yacht type boats sitting in the water behind these unbelievable residences. We also had the opportunity to see some dolphins. We were so grateful for the wonderful afternoon with some special folks that we just got to know this winter!

| Not a shabby boat! |

| Why not have 2 boats??? |
Ken and I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way back to the CG getting to Wilbur around 5:15, tired but happy! We made salads and warmed up some leftover fish and pork for dinner. Ernie and Noela came over at 7:30 and we played 3 rounds of Hand and Foot with the men having a lead, but not one that us ladies can't overcome!
They left at 9:15 and we did some reading before calling it a day!
