April 11th - 16th, 2015

A full six days of fun, friends and fantastic weather. The sun has shone everyday since Mar 27th and have had one little, little shower one afternoon. The Hatheway's have spent time with us everyday under our umbrella enjoying a relaxing time reading, swimming, chatting, socializing with the VanVulpens, the Estabrooks and the Smiths down the beach. We have had a feast at Roy and Sharman's, barbecue at our little abode, watched the Masters and had supper at a pub in downtown St. Petersburg, dinner at the Salt Rock Grill on the patio by the Inter Coastal Waterway, dinner of wings and salad at the Hatheway's condo at the Sandlewood, and last night at The Pub on the patio by the water. Marla, Kevin, Jen and Rick wandered over from Orlando to spend a day and night with us at Far Horizons. Lots of laughs. Our one day of golfing at the East Bay golf course with the Smiths, Hatheway's and Donna and John was hot, full of good shots, bad shots, alligator, parrots , a pink flamingo, lost balls and lots of laughs and stories. We and the Hatheway's took in a Smokey Robinson show at the Mahaffy Centre in St Petes and he still has a voice that can belt the songs out and a very energetic man. Last night was Katherine and Jim's last one in Florida so after dinner we took in some live music at JD's and PJ's but no Friendly's karaoke tonight. The Long Islanders Ice Teas were very enjoyable - they sure make them different in the U.S.
