…Norskis Birthday…
Monday evening Eric and Brain arrived to Florida. Im soooooo happy Eric is here now, I have missed him crazy much. Love you Eric!
Tuesday, December 20th, is Noreen’s Birthday. Yesterday was fantastic. A quick review We started with a fabulous breakfast with home-made smoothie and home-made granola…yummie!!
Then we went on a bike ride around Marco Island…
…and stopped at a new Historical museum for Marco Island and a little cute bar on the ocean.
When we got home Gui and Steve had arrived to surprise Nor for her birthday…they are so great. We headed out to Little Bar for one drink before it was time to squeeze into the car, 7 of us, and drive up to Fort Meyers to pick up Bridget. While at Little Bar Isa shows up as a surprise for Nor’s birthday to, she drove all the way from Miami to celebrate with us, and is now in a few minutes going to drive back to Miami to work. She is so cool that girl! So back to yesterday! We all jumped into the car and off we went to the airport, an hour drive. Isa had brought wraps for the road….yummie wraps…
We arrive at the airport without hearing any thing from Bridget s we think that she is late,,,but no there she is waiting for us with a big hug…or she expected one of us and gor seven hugs instead,,,hihi..fun fun..the reason we hadn’t heard from here was because she lost her phone somewhere on the trip from Minnesota to here….hope she gets it back!
Home in Goodland again it is time for a dance party!! The music is pumping oranges are flying. Pink cakes are served, Kindles are given out, drinks are made, drinks are finished and we are dancing even more…
….until late in the night….now yo might wonder what I’m doing up so early…yeah you are right I had to work a bit…and it is not all bad. I got to see yet another beautiful sunrise….but now I think I will crawl back into bed for a while at least for 10 min…
