Our Wedding Anniversary

February is a busy month for us. Our grandson Dalton celebrated his birthday last week, and he's now officially a "teenager"!! Can't believe how fast they grow up. Valentines Day on the 14th - and then Rich's birthday. Our son, Dennis will celebrate his birthday on the 25th.......

On Monday we headed into Tampa. It was time to trade in that 98 Toyota Camry. We've had that car since 2000, when we bought it with only about 18,000 miles on it. Had it so long......it was a bit sentimental trading it off. But we made our way to Toyota of Tampa Bay where we found a replacement. A 2011 Toyota Camry....

While we were in the area we went on up to MeadowPointe and visited with our friends Don and Linda. Rich and Don took off for the pickleball courts about 6:00 and I stayed to visit with Linda. The hand is still bothering me- so I'm not back on the courts playing yet. The camera was in the car with Rich..........so no pictures this time. We left to go back to Wauchula about 8:30 and stopped for dinner at Cracker Barrel on the way. It was nearly 11:oopm when we got back.

Tuesday evening Bruce and Gena rode with us to Seabring where we had dinner with Bob and Kathy Hughes. Dennis and Fran also joined us. Acxtually - Fran came along a little bit later after finishing up the day on the golf course. They were holding a tournament over in Tanglewood. Of course - where do we go for dinner when in Sebring? Homers Smorgasboard of course, and Tuesday night was Seafood night! The food was great and it was terrific spending time and catching up with old friends. I did have the camera with me.......but too caught up in the conversation!!


Wednesday the 23rd was our 37th Wedding Anniversary and Rich surprised me with this beautiful ring.


I had admired this ring the other night at Friday Night Live where Rich and Dee had set up their booth. They have a wonderful selection of Sterling Silver Rings. Rich had remembered that I really liked this one!


This was really kind of special, because I had just recently lost the onyx out of the ring that had belonged to my mother.

We'd been eating out so much recently that we decided to stay in for dinner. Rich cooked pork chops and asparagus on the grill..... added a salad, baked potato and fresh Italian bread and a glass of wine! It was absolutely delicious!



Gena had called and invited us over for coffee and home made apple crisp and icecream. They had just bought a new Wii, so we played some Wii Bowling. I do much much better with Wii then I do with the real thing. As you can see - Darby settled in nicely - snuggled between Rich and I. It was a lovely evening!

Today, Rich went back down to Sebring to practice with Gary and Linda, and I got caught up on some phone calls and e-mails! It's off to Ft.Myers tomorrow for the Lee County Senior Games on Saturday and Sunday.
