Well, this last Friday was my birthday and Larry surprised me big-time! He arranged for Shelley to fly down from Illinois to surprise me. Becca picked her up from the airport and brought her here. As I answered the door & saw Becca, I reached out to give her a hug & caught Shelley out of the corner of my eye. It didn't register at first, but when it sunk in, I almost had heart failure!! That evening, Becca hosted a birthday dinner for me at Fatty & Mabel's.
We had a riot!! Dinner was wonderful, drinks were great, and the tequila shot was superb!! Here we all are: Robin, Shelley, me, Larry & Becca
Saturday morning, Becca arranged a boat excursion for us with her friend "Capt'n Dave". He was a great seaman!! Here is Shelley & I in the back leaving Gulf Harbors.
We went out to Anclote Island & had a few beverages & chatted. We hunted for shells, watched some dogs playing together in the surf & walked the island. Here is Larry & Robin
And Becca & Capt'n Dave
We cooked out on the boat & then headed back in. He took us by our house. This is the first time we have seen it from the water. He got in so close.
We had a perfect day on the water & then went to the New Port Richey celebration. Had dinner at Fitzgerald's (Fabulous Sheppard's Pie) and saw the fireworks. We also had a couple more tequila shots & met some more friends! It was a wonderful weekend. Larry is so thoughtful & caring. I couldn't be more lucky to have him & our friends ~ both the "old ones" & the new!! Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so special!!
