Strawberry Fields Forever, Day 4

…strawberry fields and fields and fields and Orange Groves, Palm Trees and a beautiful Bay. 
 Drove right up to Betty Dale and Bill’s house with the help of Nagging Nancy (Nelly), AKA:  our GPS.  It is a lovely home that Dale has refurbished and updated over the years with all the new things to make a house wonderfully livable and beautiful.  BDW just out did herself and had deli meats, cheeses, breads, fruits ( including watermelon) for lunch along with surely-to-die-for Brownies.  After we talked Non-Stop, snuggled with Kiltie, (the Westie) and had our lunch on the patio under the Lanai, by the pool, we visited some more.  A reservation at the Rusty Pelican (*****) on Tampa Bay highlighted the evening.  What a perfect sunset and dinner with friends.

Dale and I got to make a conference call (hands free cell phone) with Suzanne Akins Hall, our friend from our youth and still our friend forever, before turning in for bed, to get up early for breakfast.  Again, Dale was a most gracious hostess as she served delicious muffins, eggs, and fresh fruit plus coffee and juice.  We were planning on attending Easter service at church, but the drive on I-4 and I-95 seemed daunting, so we left Valrico, FL around 9AM.  Dale and Bill were just so very gracious and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them.  The only thing I left in their bathroom:  my make-up mirror.
