Temiscaming Girls Reunion

Beatrice (McGowan) Paquin and her husband Yvon drove to St Pete Beach from Fort Myers to have lunch and spend the afternoon with us. Bea and I haven't seen each other for 40 years but we had a wonderful time reconnecting and reminiscing about the people we grew up with. Many of us have become Facebook friends in recent years, so it is easier to "catch up" when we/ve had the opportunity to re-situate ourselves in each other's lives, all because of social networking.

Bob and I were just arriving back from Best Buy and grocery shopping when the phone rang, and Bea announced that they were pulling into our parking lot. We sat on the deck (hot in the late morning!) for an hour or so and then went out to lunch at Daiquiri Shack, discovered yesterday. The food and drinks seemed better yesterday, but the company was definitely a plus today.

Unfortunately, the traffic was horrendous so we didn't really go too far. The beach near our condo was unbelievably crowded but Land's End, at the south end of St Pete Beach, was not. The dolphins we had ordered up appeared at just the right time. The Paquins had a couple of hours of driving back to Fort Myers, and it was already late in the afternoon, so we didn't get our swim.

A very enjoyable afternoon!
