On Sunday, we went to visit Anita Orlando and her boyfriend, Danny. They live in Auburndale, which is about 30 miles from Tampa. (This is the art teacher I was fixing Ed up with back in 1997 but "stole" him before she met him! If you missed that story, click here: The Art Teacher.) She retired from teaching last year and bought a NICE house, which is filled with exquisite art. After a lovely lunch on her back screened porch, we went down the street to her twin sister's house for root beer floats for dessert. It was a good visit and I'm glad to know she now has a loving, easy-going boyfriend who adores her.
Soon after we returned to Lazy Days, the friend we house-sat for near Cape Canaveral last winter, Barbara Elliot, arrived. She stayed over and we visited and bummed around - looking at all sorts of RVs on the sales lot. After the free breakfast and lunch, which were very meager portions, Ed decided we needed to go out for dessert. We ended up at Parksdale Fruit Market and had THE best strawberry shortcake I've ever tasted. Barb and I enjoyed every bite. Ed refused to get the shortcake because they didn't use real whipped cream - he had a strawberry milkshake instead. Barbara and I agreed, "Oh, well, it was his loss!"
