We have had a lot of company the past couple of weeks, something that is really pretty normal around here when our weather is nice, the northerns are getting sick of winter and they need to escape to save their sanity. So we get a lot of insane people here, you can tell by their driving. They don't know where the heck they're going and they take their sweet time trying to figure it out. Basically, blinkers mean absolutely nothing here.
So our good friends from Hillman, MN showed up earlier this month. Anne and Jerry are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and to demonstrate how truly insane they are they invited all their kids and grandkids to spend a week with them in a house on Fort Myers Beach with all the springbreakers. Jerry had his first Yuengling here, And this is where our history lesson comes in. When anyone who drinks beer visits here, the first thing they grab is a Yuengling. Unfortunately it is not available in MN or other northern states. Yuengling is the oldest brewery in America and the 19th most popular beer in America but is only distributed in 17 states. Now Tampa also has a brewery so that is why it is so prevalent in this area. History lesson done. Now if only someone would ask you about Yuengling you would look so smart.

So Jerry and Anne got to our area the beginning of March so we saw them quickly before Ted and his friends Lars and Jennifer got here for a week. We spent time at the beach, visiting various restaurants/bars and of course an afternoon at Bonita Bills. I even scored a free dress from a clothes pile there. Fit perfectly and so comfortable for all my dance moves.

And now we have a week with our daughter, Vanessa, who we haven't seen in quite a while so we have lots of catching up to do. We are spending lots of time just relaxing by the pool or in the pool, saw about 30 dolphins on a boat trip at Fort Myers Beach, had a great lunch at Nervous Nellies and when you are with Vanessa you must do some garage saling so we got in on some great bargains and will be sending a large box back to MN when she goes back. Unfortunately the contents of the box won't even come close to the cost of shipping but some things just can't be left at a sale.

So come join all the insanity here before its too late. The grass should be green in MN in about 3 months so you still have time! Margaret
