The weather was just about perfect; sunny, warm and lovely gulf breezes. And, we had company in town from Michigan, so the good weather was a bonus for them and us. Friday night, we started out with drinks on the lanai after a tour of our new house. We went to dinner at one of our favorite waterfront spots and it was great to catch up with all the news from home, as well as talk about our new life in Florida. After dinner we headed back to our house and were joined by some other Michigan friends for dessert and the second half of the MSU basketball game.
On Saturday, we met everyone at an art fair in downtown Venice. It was a beautiful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, even though it was really crowded (yikes! - that's me in the middle of the crowd with the pink sweater). We shopped for a while and then ended up stopping at a bar for margaritas, which was way more fun.
Another friend will be in town Tuesday and I'm expecting many more visits and meet ups over the next few months. It's Florida vacation season and we love it.
Happy Monday!
Ha! Sounds perfect! I'm gonna come for a visit and we can skip the shopping and head to the bar for Margaritas, too!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have friends visiting. I guess for your friends visiting Florida in January is like a little summer holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you are having lots of visitors. That art fair looks like my kind of thing. Enjoy your warm weather. I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! We are starting to fill up our calendar with visitors coming too. We still love it!
