Saturday morning we did some clean-up around the condo and then after breakfast, we drove to Joe and Carolyn's house to meet our friends, Dave and Sharon, who live in PA but also spend a lot of time in their Marco Island area home. They are the folks who graciously take us boating every year when we are all in Florida. They now have a small Class C and they parked it at Joe and Carolyn's while they were visiting us.
They had arrived around 11 and the 4 of us went to breakfast at a great little restaurant near us, Hometown. We had fun chatting and having a delicious meal. Then it was back to our condo for the "short" tour. They had wanted to stop by and see where we had purchased our Florida home on their way back to PA. We so appreciated them taking the time to stop by. We were together from about 11 to 1:30 before driving them back to Joe and Carolyn's to be on their merry way. They could have parked at our community, but they have a dog and needed a place where they could have the air conditioning running in their RV. We always enjoy spending time with them.
Because it was Ken's birthday, he announced that it was his choice what we did for the rest of the day. Sounded fair to me but we both enjoyed watching the Penn State/Pitt football game. What an exciting one! Ken took a brief nap and we went to Jason's Deli for their delicious salad bar. We had planned to go to the beach to watch the sunset, but it started to rain and that took that off the schedule. We went back to the condo for about an hour and then went to see the movie, Overcomer. Ken loves to go to movies and this was a great pick. It started a bit slow, but it ended up being a great movie with a fantastic message and a real tear jerker. We went to bed early.
Sunday we went to the 9:30 service at Edgewater and then we served as greeters for the 11:00 gathering. We both enjoyed that opportunity to serve. When arriving back home, we made a salad with all the fixings to take to Frank and Barb's new home in the Sarasota area. We got there at 2:30 and Rick and Joyce were already there. The 6 of us played a game of Hand and Foot, which the women won, before enjoying Frank's delicious lasagna and garlic bread. What a special treat! Then we enjoyed key lime pie and the key lime/mango pie that Rick and Joyce had brought for dessert - another frantastic treat! We played another game of Hand and Foot and the women were victorious again! I am not sure the men will want to play against us in the near future!
We got home at 11:15 and went directly to bed. What a fun time with special friends from PA who are now full time residents of Florida!
