After breakfast we headed up to Port Richey to have a short visit with Justin and Vanessa. We spent a couple of hours with them (and Prada Puppy of course). Their new apartment is quite lovely and they have made a very happy life for themselves. (See pictures below). Sorry Vee - I had to post just this one, please forgive me.
After leaving there, we went to the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs to do some much needed souvenir shopping (yeah, right - much needed). We became honorary hat club members and look what happened to Kathy when she donned the small brimmed hat....she aged 30 years, if she aged a day!! I sported a large floppy hat to go with my large floppy over inflated ego, to which Kathy responded with a SNUB. Anne chose the simpler blue canvass tiny brimmed cap to match her ice blue eyes, which gave her the appearance of being in the NYC fish market. What a lovely hat club membership we made - don't you think?
We ate in a fantastic greek restaurant called Santorinos. Probably the best gyro I've ever had (yes, honey, even better than the one in the city that day). We came back to the condo early, and were in our pjs by 6:30 - OH MY GOD, WE'RE SO OLD!!!!
We played a game of three handed spades. This was no ordinary card game. We were three drunken 50 year olds who were perfectly sober. In other words there was plenty of cursing, spitting, burping and even flatuence and at one point, Anne had Fred Flintstone feet with Superman hands, after tripping over her own shoes, and landing head first onto the coffee table. (Susan, we owe you a coffee table - I guess we should have listened to you and moved it LOL). I swear there was NO alcohol involved!! We had, cookies, ice cream, salsa and chips even though we were so full from dinner we wanted to puke. Pictures of this last event to be posted another day. For now, here's some other shots to enjoy: (if you double click on the photos, they will enlarge for easier viewing).
P.S. Susan - the next time you offer us your condo for free, we would appreciate the following additional provisions:
1. A big screen tv (minimum 48")
2. a sturdier coffee table (see above comment regarding Anne's fall)
3. The sunroom needs to be finished
4. A new, larger, modern couch
5. a clock in the living room
6. a stocked refrigerator
7. A large can of Lysol in each bathroom
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

hey honey, i just have to say that the hat looks great on you but please don't bring it home with you! it looks like you are all having a great time. I miss you and hope you don't wear that hat to bed when you come home!
Alls I have to say is......LORI, WHERE DID YOU GET THE PALM TREE CHARM ON YOUR NECKLACE!?????????
P.S. There is a consignment shop down the road, I am sure you can find a new coffee table there. Probably a better looking couch too for that matter.
No offense to the other hat club members, but Anne looks the cutest in her little hat!
Gee, after your description of the card (?) game and the fact that you need Lysol in the bathrooms, I'm sorry I'm not there (she said, sarcastically!)
We've just got to talk Danny into another one of his reunion parties! Kathy, start working on him (he wuvs you).
