These photos do not show a true picture of these people at all...I think the glum expressions are because they had a camera aimed at them. They are all interesting, fun, and terrific people who make my stay at this Florida park each winter such a pleasant one.
This was our last Friday coffee morning for the season and we allowed some husbands to join us. Funny, but most of them were pretty subdued, probably because we ladies are loudly yakky. We added shots of Baileys (actually Michels which tastes the same as Baileys) to our coffee, too.
Charlotte and Mark did their "Patience, Jackass!" routine for us and, to our great pleasure, caught a couple of newbies in the joke. Everyone else had been caught at least once over the years because Mark and Charlotte do the routine every so often.
I really do love these people. Everyone should be lucky enough to have great neighbors like this but to have so many is an amazing blessing. We all come from different backgrounds, different states or provinces, but we've all come together in this Florida senior park to spend our winters.
When coffee time was done, 6 of us ladies climbed into Bonnie's van and went off to "Crispers" for lunch. We spent about an hour eating delicious food and, yes, yakking. With women, there's no end to the topics we can bring up and cover...sometimes two or three times if we feel like it.
Tonight is Bingo and most of us will meet over there, too. Faye and Sylvia left for home yesterday so it will feel a little empty at our table, though. Oh well, all good things come to an end and this season is close to ending for all of us here but next season is already on our minds and in our plans. With luck, we'll all just renew and deepen friendships in the 2012/2013 season.
