Susan and Don arrived at bag end and immediately begged to see our Donald Duck medals. Don wanted to wear one when we went out but I told him about Florida Law which prohibits falsely claiming to be a half marathon runner. He was disappointed!
We went out to the back yard and Don and Susan were pleased to find that the sun does exist in February. Apparently the wearing of short sleeve shirts was a big thrill. (Michigan people are really easy to please!)
We went for a boat ride on the inter-coastal and saw a plethora of birds and dolphins.
We went to the Pub and had lunch.
At Bag End we had many meals and served only the finest wines and delicacy's. (Unfortunately the only photo I took was of the pickles and diet root beer.)
We went for a church golf scramble and Susan got to meet our Florida pastor. Apparently they have a higher regard and different set of rules for greeting visiting 'church moderators'!
We went to Disney World and met at the Rose and Crown in Epcot for a couple pints.
Donald was really impressed by the robot birds that Disney has deployed on the grounds.
There were lots of signs telling us not to feed the robot birds because it clogs their gears and causes them to loose a white lubrication that helps them run. Don didn't listen.
Susan and Don took us out to a 'tapas bar' on the beach. I think Don was impressed because he just stared at the menu with his mouth open until Susan hit him. The food and wine were perfect and there was a cool one man band playing. The coffee apparently wasn't that good because Don only had four cups.
On the night before they left we went to take a walk on the beach. Don stayed on the board walk. He explained that one of the birds looked familiar and didn't want to take any chances. He saw this.
We saw this.
Susan went shopping with Cindy while Don and I played golf. (He beat me!) Susan bought us a really cool 'bird wine stopper' to remind us of their visit. We call it Don!
Friday Susan and Don wrote an entry in our guest book. (We will be sure and have mints on the pillows next time!) Susan flew back to her hectic life and Don drove North into tornado alley. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful and caring friends and miss them already.
