We didn't wear much green, but Barb and I played 36 holes of golf on St. Patrick's Day - like we were in our twenties. Sun, golf, plenty of beer - and we were ready to crash by 8:30 p.m.! Would we do it again? In a heartbeat.!! The window treatments were finished and installed, so we had plenty of time to play! We even saw our friends, Lynn and Al in Siesta Key. That is always a pleasure since they are such nice people. Speaking of friends, remember Janet and the broken ankle? Well, happily I can tell you all that she is out of her cast altogether, walking, driving and back to the human race. HOORAY!
Friday, I drove back up to Palm Harbor to spend a week with Eileen and get everything checked out from head to toe for the trek out west! Saturday, Jim and Judy had friends over for drinks (of course) and dinner. They are all lovely people and we had a delightful time. However, driving back into Briar Patch (yes, it is where Brer Rabbit lives!!) was very sad since it was the first time I had driven into there since Mike died! WOW! It is rolling into 10 months and it seems like a minute ago. I miss that boy like crazy, but I remind myself everyday how lucky I was to have him for 27 years!! He was always fun to have around!
Monday, a new adventure will begin as Gretchen flies into Tampa and we will depart for the Keys, Orlando, Navarre and Argyle, Texas. This should certainly be a fun trip. We spent most of our high school years laughing like fools, and, perhaps, if we continue the tradition, our face muscles will actually "snap back" a little! I know, wishful thinking on my part!
Meanwhile, Eileen and I have played golf twice so far and are planning two more outings - in addition to seeing Jersey Boys Wednesday night. What fun!
Gina seems to be doing quite well in North Carolina, but I miss her quite a bit. Hopefully, when I get back, she will be as happy to see me as I will be to see her!
You know, this gypsy life is quite cathartic and I would wish everyone the chance to just drive around, see people you like and enjoy seeing, with no time restraints or agenda. I just wish for it to occur in a much more pleasant way. Thanks for visiting my blog and I will let you know how it is in the Keys! Ricci
P.S. Amy and Auri put me on facebook, but I have no idea how to use it!
