On Sunday we met for brunch at TooJays which is an authentic deli and loved the food. Jeff took home a pound of delicious rugelach and they are all gone now. Terry and Marilyn took us to see a new shopping area and recreation center.
We were very impressed with the Eisenhower Center. It has a grand lobby and six large card rooms plus a theatre with a raised stage and comfy chairs. Each room is decorated with military memorabilia and uniforms. All the items were donated by residents and it is an impressive collection worthy of a museum. I toured all the rooms and saw many interesting exhibits and photos. Comfortable seating areas were placed throughout the facility, so a great place to spend some time or pick up a card game or organized activity.
The new shopping area has an impressive entrance and some interesting birds in the lagoons. I saw American White Pelicans, Wood Storks, Hooded Mergansers and other Ducks and Herons.
In the afternoon Jeff and Rick retired to the RV to watch football while the gals hung out, shopped and gabbed. Later we met for dinner at Carrabba's.
Today is Monday and we all slept late. I was on a mission to get the RV clean. Washed out the fridge and then dusted, did the bathroom and vacuumed. Now I feel better and the place looks great! We met for lunch at a bagel joint where we sat outside so Sirius could join us. Who knew that he likes bagels and cousin Marilyn shared her lunch with him. We sat there for a long time enjoying the sunshine and conversation. Afterwards Terry found a dog park where Sirius could get some exercise while we all watched. Now we are home resting and waiting for our next meal. It is such a beautiful day and so appreciated. Rick took this family portrait.
Update, we met for dinner at a Sonny's where everyone but me enjoyed ribs. I had BBQ chicken and afterwards we said our goodbyes. In the morning we will head south to Orlando and Rick will drive south to participate in a Roads Scholar program in Fort Lauderdale.
