DAY 15: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2019: ON OUR WAY TO TAMPA BY COACH THEN SIESTA KEY

We left Flamingo Lake at 7:45 am for Tampa. We stopped for fuel in Bucknell. The weather was cloudy but no rain.  Yet, rain son the way. We are hoping to watch the Pats play today. Not in Siesta, of course, they will all be watching Buffalo. Every one else here wants the Jax. jaguars to beat the Jets. The Pats won over them 33—0 so shouldn’t be that hard. We actually felt badly for the Jets quarterback. The game went on too long for him. But, that could happen to anyone! 

Today‘s trip was pretty easy. It being a Sunday, there was little traffic. I texted with JUDY, chatted with Joan, and emailed with Rene. That certainly makes the time go by.

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND 

HEADING BACK TO THE KEYS

TOGETHER AGAIN SOON

JAMESON LOOKING PATRIOTIC 

We chatted with Michael prior to us leaving for Siesta Key. I totally appreciate being able to connect with home when we are away!

We texted with Maddy and Morgan about Homecoming. Sounds like everyone had a great time. Today was also Maddy’s family birthday dinner. Hate missing that. 

A PAST BIRTHDAY MEMORY

When we arrived in Tampa/ Dover, we drove to Siesta Key to visit with the Royals, Todd, Em, Leo, and Stella.

It was great to see everyone. Jasmine made a delicious dinner of beef skewers. We could tell she put a lot of work into this. It happened to be Ana‘s birthday so we had cake. Ana‘s family tradition is the birthday person makes the first cut in the cake and makes a wish then the person whose birthday is next takes the knife out. That was Tom.

WISHING AND REMOVING THE KNIFE

We had fun watching the kids having fun in the pool.

It was a long day and we hated leaving but our ride back to Tampa East was 90 minutes. It’s been a great day connecting with family then dinner with the Buffalo crew. Feeling blessed.
