Wanda's Home! And Venice and Ellenton

Finally!  Wanda has dug out (bailed out?) of enough of the flood disaster at home to come back to Sarasota.  We picked her up at the airport and were so happy to have her back.

The next day the plan was to go to the Goodwill in Venice with 4 other women from the condo for some shopping.  I am NOT a shopper, and would normally have done that pool thing and let them go shop, but having not seen Wanda I decided to go along.  We wound our way to Venice due to a lack of GPS use and not a positive idea where it was... and after about 20 minutes of wandering in the shop I grabbed Wanda's keys and parked myself in the car until they finished shopping.  Good thing I had my phone, Kindle app included!  Then off to lunch at Sharky's.



Gorgeous beach!


 Fun times!

After taking all their Goodwill treasures back to Lido Key - using the GPS and a more direct route - Wanda and I donned our suits and got some steps in by walking the beach.  The guys got home from again hitting that little white ball and we headed out for - what else - more eating!  This time to Ellenton to a nice little restaurant on the beach and meeting friends of Wanda and Bo's that we've known for many years - Fran and Hank.  


Another gorgeous spot right on the water

And a not the most flattering pic of yours truly.


Told you it was on the water...


A friend Fran and I met on the way to the restroom!

Back home to watch the premier of my favorite reality show - Dancing With the Stars and closing out another wonderful day in sunny Florida.
