St. Augastine & Italian America Club

On Wednesday the gang loaded up in Jim and Jane's van for a day trip to St. Augustine. It was a nice scenic drive and by the time we got there we were hungry so we ate at a little restaurant that served soup, rolls,and cookies. We ate outside.
Then we did the walking tour. We took in all the shops, churches, etc. We went to a big cross on the grounds of a church and then to the beach. We had drinks outside on the second floor of a very large restaurant. On the way home we stopped at the Blackwater Inn on the St. James river and had dinner. A very pleasant day....
On Thursday we got rained out for shuffleboard again!!! Our team would have played because it just rained in the morning but the other coach called it off. What chickens..
On Thursday evening we attended the Italian American Club. We were entertained by a comedian named Chuck Salvo. He was Italian, good looking and excellent. We had a full house, 462 people. They served Italian cookies and coffee and gave each lady a long stemmed rose. It was so good to hear everyone laugh. I could recognize lots of what he had to say about his relatives, etc. It was a great evening.
Today I worked, extremely steady..Bud helped Rod again, went golfing and came home and put up some of our new plantation blinds. I think they look real good. Then we tried to rearrange the furniture. Now that doesn't look so good....We definitely are not decorators...

Maybe if you relaxed a bit and watched HGTV you'd get some decorating ideas. OH WAIT, I bet they have a club for that down there! lol
Sounds like you had a nice couple of days, I promise we'll make it down there one of these days.
