Taylor Park

Another beautiful day in Paradise. It appeared the wind was coming mostly from the East so we couldn't make up our minds to go North or South on the Pinellas Trail. Roy then suggested we do the neighborhoods and go by the Belleview Biltmore as it's future is a little shaky. Deb D. was against a neighborhood blade but later (as usual) she agreed it was fun. We took group pictures at Taylor Park and three other places on the blade. The last and most significant was at the Belleview Biltmore. We did about 12 miles on the blade.

Several people (the women) had listened to Bay News 9 Meteorologist, Josh Linker announce the temperature forecast for Taylor Park and dressed accordingly. Thanks Josh. We normally depend on Channel 9 for our weather forecasts but today was special.

Brunch was held at The Gathering as planned. Even with reservations it took us 10-15 minutes to get in but Brunch came shortly after our orders were taken. Our Social Hour/Brunch passed quickly. Rob rated the Brunch a 9 out of a possible 10. My Spanish Omelette was also a 9 and they didn't even charge me for the extra Salsa Sauce ordered.

Deborah B. held a Pool Party following Brunch. Several bladers had to skip the Pool Party as it was Mother's Day. I managed to take one picture at the Pool Party and then headed home to pamper my wife. The Pool Party was just warming up as I left and it looked like all were going to have a pleasant afternoon in the sun by the pool.

Happy Mother's Day to all.
