The other side of Paradise

I've been thinking a lot about all our friends in St. Louis lately. It has always been our tradition to reunite at our times shares on Ft. Myers Beach for a fun time each year. Some years a few miss for one reason or another but we all try hard to meet up. This is the St. Louis contingency...DeeDee and Steve, Jill and Kelly, Linda and Chuck. We also have our pals Kim and Jerry and, on alternate years, Jadee, Kristen and Chris. Nick and Kay are oft times visitors.

This year we are going to be missing a few of the regulars. DeeDee and Steve are going pub hopping in Ireland, Jill and Kelly will only be down half the week and Kristen and Chris are doubtful if they will make it at all. Those of us who will be there will miss you all. We will celebrate with you in mind and will be sure to hoist our drinks, as we do every day, to "the working people". Know we love you and hope to see you next year.

This picture was taken last Oct. during our annual visit "home". This is the Wine Tours Crew who make sure we get a much needed dose of Missouri Wines and crisp fall weather. This was at Blumhoff Winery for any who might be Mo. Wine Tour fans.
