Another Beautiful day in Paradise. We had a big group gather for the Group Picture. I mumbled about people standing in the shadows but evidently not loud enough as 3 and maybe more people vanished in the shadows. My computer software could only bring 3 out as ghosts. I count 35 people (plus Daisy, Andrea’s dog) and don’t see Breeze, Jeanine’s 2 kids, Sean and Tony in the group picture. A Fantastic Turn Out non-the-less. Welcome new bladers Joanie C and Cher H. Welcome back Meg P, Shari S, Tony, Sean Y, Brenda from Atlanta, Chris M and Terry B. as we haven’t seen you in a while. Andrea became a new Sponsor this week. Thanks Andrea.

We Brunched at the Garden Grille as planned. I counted 28 at the Brunch. Andrea came but there was nowhere for her to sit. Sorry Andrea. As indicated the place was packed and one of our 5 tables was just getting served as most of us were ready to pay. However the waitresses came by often and asked us if we needed anything. Birgit rated her Brunch a 15, I heard a couple of 10’s, Rob gave them a 10 but indicated he didn’t get exactly what he ordered. Sandy said her pancakes were good but not quite as good as before. I would say a rating of 9.9 is about right. The Garden Grille has consistently gotten our highest ratings. Thanks Garden Grille.
