Beautiful Day in Florida

We finally got the day we've been wanting- warmish, sunny, a little breeze, and folks enjoyed it with a vengeance. My day started at Joyce and Gary's with a "Founders Day" breakfast- a meal that will founder you if you don't watch out. Below is a Blueberry Buckle so named because the rich dense batter rises above the blueberries and the crust buckles.

Joyce made her breakfast souffle- "a heart attack on a plate," as Gary calls it. Bread ,eggs, cheese, bacon and artistry combined.

Bonnie sliced and diced ripe fruit-papaya on the left-very good when ripe. Probably the only healthy thing we ate.

We also met for the early bird special at the Rum Shack in Lake Worth for dinner. Full, good, meals for $9.95 per head (and we had coupons!) including a drink of choice-definitely a bargain and were it not for live entertainment on Friday night-it would have been very pleasant. Lake Worth has "Evening on the Avenues" every other Friday and it is great fun- shops are open late, street vendors, street musicians, a concert in the park: some real good blues and a harmonica player that was out of this world.

Joyce and Gary on a street bench on Worth Avenue. Bonnie and Dave were at both events. During the day all went their separate ways. Joyce and Bonnie went to the beach and the beauty salon. My neighbors went biking and roller blading at Okeeheelee Park. I went there too with the pups to the dog park. Honey was the sole big dog for quite awhile but she got to run around without a leash and sniff and pee to her heart's content. As we were leaving some big dogs arrived and we went back but they were Pit-Bull mixes and, while sweet enough, were intimidating to the girl. But nothing bad happened and I will view it as a successful maiden voyage. Buster backed out of his harness before we even made it to park gate so he sat it out in the car-much to his relief, I think,
