Friday and Saturday

Friday started out with the usual lite breakfast after our quiet times. We headed out to the Rec. for a workout. I took it kind of easy as Thursday was a rather strenuous 2 hour pickle ball time. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and Nancy did her 30 minutes on the treadmill. I sure miss that mountain hike for a workout. Anyhow after leaving the Rec. we headed to K-Mart to pick up a big wheel for Annsley for her birthday in October. It's one of Bob's favorite character's for Annsley, Dora. Oh well she will enjoy it.

We came home and had a lite lunch with Amy and Ava and played with her until it was time for her afternoon nap(actually it was time for my nap as well). We just chilled until it was time to get ready to head to Tampa around 5 PM for Josh and Laura's wedding being held at the garden club on Davis Island. That's a right ritzy neighborhood and the garden club occupies some fine real estate on the island next to Tampa General Hospital.

The clouds had opened up with rain earlier in the day and most of the afternoon but stopped just before the wedding. The ceremony was held outside under some trees with the bay in the background. The flowers and gardens were lush and green. There were probably close to 200 in attendance. The food was excellent with your choice of a chicken breast, steak or pork loin with smashed spuds, Caesar salad, rice and fresh sauteed squash and bread. The food was prepared on the premises by friends and served buffet style. Everyone had a grand time and especially little Annsley who served as Laura's flower girl. She loved the dancing and activities but by 9 she was wering down so Nancy and I took her to her home, bathed her and got her to bed by 10:30. We never heard a peep from her the rest of the evening. Bob and Jill got in a little after midnight after helping to clean the facility with several friends and family members.

We met Josh's family for the first time and they seemed very nice. The kids are off to Colorado for their honeymoon. What a change that will be as neither have ever been there. We wish them the best. We got home round 1 AM and slept in to about 8 AM until Tom turkey decided to start gobbling.

Saturday was a real laid back day with a lite breakfast after our quiet times. I mowed the front yard and did some Facebook up-dates and down loading of wedding pics. We decided to hook up with Amy, Tyler and Ava at the Rec. pool for about an hour or less as thunderstorms were in the area. After getting back from the pool we just read and watched the Ray's beat up on the Kansas City Royals. Ava came for dinner as Amy and Tyler had a date night.

Well we're getting ready to give Ava a bath and put her to bed at her house. Both she and Annsley are such a joy to watch and have made this week plus visit a pure joy. Tomorrow is worship at Element so we will get to visit with her; however she and her parents are coming next week to the cabin for a week. LATER. Check out Facebook for wedding pictures.
