A busy two months with snowbirds back and plenty of comings and goings. One going just down the road. Jonnie and Fred Ockerlund have made the move to a lovely two-bedroom unit in Brookdale with the help of sons Bill and Rick and neighbors. While Fred was in rehab, Jonnie spent a few lovely days in the Florida Keys at Bill’s home. Sheenjoyed dinner at Ziggie’s Mad Dog restaurant, one of her favorites, where years ago she learned how to properly prepare yellowtail in the kitchen!
After returning home sick from their last cruise, Barb Curioso (and Joe Wolcin) left in early March on another Regent Seven Seas Cruise, this one to the Caribbean. They have six, yes six, more cruises booked in upcoming months. “Got to do it while we can” says Joe.
Some staying behind in our own paradise attended the ladies unbirthday luncheon in late January. Jackie Wagner and Linda Tucker make sure we never miss an opportunity to celebrate! The next one on February 17had over 20 attendees and celebrated Maria Aponte’s Valentine’s Day birthday.
After having been rained out initially, thanks to the Nahnsens and Noyes, our first pool party of the season was held on Thursday, February 27and was enjoyed by all able to attend. Also rained out was the golf tournament in which Liz Welsh and her partner, Steve Davison, were hoping to win their third Mixed Club Golf Championship.
Happily not rained out was the January 25 wedding of Betty Foster’s son, Rich Curry and his bride Mary Beth, held at Picnic Pointe.
