what's been happening

Don and Phyllis were on a cruise. One of their stops was Key West. So we met them and had lunch and strolled around Key West for the afternoon. Of course pictures were taken. As usual!!
By the way, Don and Phyllis are two of our best friends from home.
We have a lot of company and friends here . Dick and Anne my
brother and sister in law ,were here (in their new motor home ) for three weeks We TRYED fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. The best I can say is "We didn't drown."
Our friends, Wayne and Sharon, Were here three or four days .Key West again, Vera's favorite place. Wayne and Sharon treated us to Little Palm Island for lunch. Little Palm Island is a very expensive and exclusive resort. The only way to get there is by boat,( Our's or their's) . We took their ferry. It was an experience we probably will never be able to do again. We will judge all other restaurants against this one.
The big surprise was when our son Keith told us he was coming to the keys. We've only been invited him for 8 years. He and his girlfriend ,Nikki landed March 12th in Fort Lauderdale. We picked them up there on Wednesday. Thursday we went fishing on "Happy Feet" (our boat). Now up till now we were catching some fish ,sometimes none. This day we caught a lot of fish. We came in with 16 fish in the cooler.We said Keith and Nikki were our lucky charms. Friday... you guessed it back to Key West to see the sights. Nikki and Keith had never been there before. We covered a lot of ground that day. Our day ended like Cinderella...at midnight. We were tired, but at least no one turned into a pumpkin. Saturday Keith came down with a case of food poisoning. He sure does know how to have a good time.
We're now resting up and waiting for Tara and Matt, (Our daughter and her husband). The next time you hear from us we will be in our new motor home.....Pictures to follow...
