An Afternoon with Good Friends

We have some very dear friends that spend part of the winter down in Venice, Fl and we always try to find a time in both of our busy schedules to meet and catch up on what's been happening with mutual friends and family.

Since we were already going to be down in Englewood for the pickleball workshops, we made plans to meet up with Dieter and Helen who have a winter home at Circle Woods in Venice.

What we did not know until we saw them, was that they had purchased a new home in Northport, and had their home in Venice up for sale. We met up with them at Circle Woods, chatted for a couple of hours, and then we all went for lunch at the Old World Restaurant in Northport. We had been here one other time for breakfast - and lunch was just as good. Great Restaurant if you are ever in the area. After lunch we went over to see their new home. A great place right on the canal that goes out to Charlotte Harbor. The workers were there laying tile in the living room and kitchen, That's Helen and Dieter in the picture above, standing on their new boat dock!. We sat outside and caught up with what's been going on......All the time enjoying an adult beverage and watching the fish jumping in the canal.

The visit was short........but, as always it was great seeing them again.
