2020 - Start of a new decade!

Enjoying Chinese Cork & Fork at Isles Yacht Club
We started off 2020 by attending our first "Cork and Fork" event at the Isles Yacht Club.  I became interested in attending because my water aerobics buddies have been talking about the huge Chinese Dragon that they had obtained for a super duper decoration.  It lived up on all counts.  The dragon was red and his tail extended 40 ft around the room!  The food was spectacular.  Lots of little courses with wine parings.  Just a delightful evening!


Emmane Beasha wows us!
Last Saturday night one of my scrabble buddies could not attend the Charlotte Co Concert Band performance.  So, he gifted us with two free tickets.  The highlight was hearing Emmane Beasha perform.  We could not believe the powerful gorgeous voice coming out from this little 11-year old girl. She is amazing!  She was a finalist on "America's Got Talent" and lives in nearby North Port.  We loved listening to all her songs especially "Ave Maria."


Raft up on Edgewater Lake - Check out Lickity Split, last boat on the right!

Also last Saturday, we participated in our first Edgewater Lake Raft-Up Event of our boating club, the PGIslanders with our new boat, Lickity Split.  There were ~35 people who brought wonderful lunch food and we had a terrific time.  The weather was awesome.
