Hurry Back To Paradise....

Had to say good-bye to my two favorite Valentines from Ohio...Linda and Kelli....we went to T.J. Carneys in Sarasota and listened and danced to a great group (whose name eludes me) they played everything from Irish Jigs to Rock and Roll...we had a great time... I'm going to get the rest of the group over there when the band is back in town in March....come back soon ladies..we miss you!
















Wednesday at the Coconut Grove was wet and wild...it poured just as the guys started their set..of course we had a table just outside the protection of the roof over the bar area...we were OK for a while then it really started to pour and the table umbrella wasn't enough...we managed to pull the table closer to the band under the roof (kind of) my chair ended up next to the microphone of Mark (one of the members of "The Smoked Mullet Band" who was kind enough to sit in for Kenny Rose who had to sit out because of an overworked larynx...he was better by Thursday at Braymer's Pub where he sings a couple of times a month...tonight (Friday) he'll be at "Stump Pass" for his regular Friday gig...hope the voice holds out we look forward to his performance...


The ladies had a great time even if the dance floor was only about ten square feet or so (moving the tables out of the rain really didn't leave very much room to dance) we all took turns.. the dance floor would only hold about six people max...these two kids (brother and sister) came right up and joined in..they were having a ball....Dancing Debbie, Ronnie and Sandy made them feel right at home....



Ronnie's son Edward was in town for a few days and got to dance with Mom a couple of times..he had to go back home this AM..(New York City) he'll be back in four weeks for another visit...He's a bartender at the famous NYC restaurant "Ruby Foos" and like many bartenders in NYC..a struggling actor...he has done some "Off,Off Broadway" and says that if he gets a part "Off Broadway" it can make a major difference in an acting career..."Break a leg Ed"....

Of course we have the latest on T.W.C.G...here she is spelling her name on the fridge...I see it..try squinting..you'll see it...can't...well maybe it takes a special Grandfather squint..


This looks like she is attempting to become the youngest girl to ever ride a big wheel...I wasn't informed as to outcome of the attempt but I'm sure if anyone could do my girl could.....

...."Mom, Mom...The cat locked me out again!"
















...."Are you sure Daddy can see with this hat on?"













That's all for now...

Live, Love, Laugh
