My handsome nephew, Ben Spanbock, married beautiful Addie Ricketts at the Chaminade Resort, Santa Cruz, CA on 8/1/13. What a wonderful blessed occasion! Most of our family attended from all parts of the U.S. - Mary & Al from Indiana, Paul & Diane from South Carolina, Kevin from California, and of course, us, from Punta Gorda, FL with Ben's 92 year-old Grandmother, Marie McDermott! Three of Ben's cousins also came long distances - Michele & her "SO", Bryan, from Kona, HI, Holly & Andrew from New Jersey and Annie from South Carolina. My sister, Claire, was radiant in her blue lace dress and her & Howard's grandkids were just adorable as the ring bearer and flower girl. Check out the photos by clicking Wedding Photos.
We love boating. So far, we've owned 3 sailboats, two called Eagle's Wings, and a beautiful Mainship Trawler called Indigo Star. Currently, we have a small power boat, a Jeanneau 28 ft, called Lickity Split. We've sailed the Texas and Florida coastlines including the Keys and the Bahamas. Also, we've chartered boats in Polynesia (Tahiti area), Belize, Croatia, Midi Canal in France, Bahamas and Virgin Islands.
We also enjoy traveling to other countries, sometimes with the Friendship Force.
We retired to Punta Gorda Isles Florida and in 2008 started this blog about our life here. Read all about our great Retirement Adventures. Enjoy!
