Kendo Asian Restaurant

Last night the nine of us tried something new for our Friday night food outing. We usually hit one of our favourite places but we thought we would try Kendo out. We enjoyed our chef who was funny, very loud, talented with the knives and generally entertaining. The meal was delicious starting with an Asian green salad with ginger dressing and followed by 2 fried dumplings and edamame. After that we watched lots of slicing and dicing as well as towers of flame. Dave and I each ordered steak and shrimp which was cooked on the grill in front of us along with everyone meal. There was lots of laughter, attempts to catch pieces of broccoli tossed into mouths and squirts of sake. I had forgotten to take my camera so thanks Dan Thornham for stepping up with your phone camera to save the day.

72nd Birthday

After my 2020 heart attack I embraced the beauty of aging in a new way. So when I woke up this morning and had breakfast on my patio, went to the beach, had a lovely meal and closed off the day with a Mango Bango at Sharkys I considered myself more than lucky. I hope there are many more birthdays in my future.

Picnic Table Project

Outside our clubhouse there is a covered patio with about 16 or so picnic tables. They were looking pretty shabby and one of the men here in the park suggested that people adopt a table and paint it. Neither Liz nor I were there when this great plan was hatched but very quickly Dave and Liz’s brother, Daniel, claimed one for us to paint. Daniel and Dave painted the table a week ago and this week Liz and I decorated it with letters and large sunflowers.+

Lunch Date

Today we had to make a trip to Tampa airport and we combined it with a lunch date with Ross and Victoria Bruce. Ross and I worked together at Southdale North Woodside School in the 90’s. They are young retirees and we enjoyed their enthusiasm as they begin their life as snowbirds. We met them at the Olive Garden on Ulmerton Road in Largo where we enjoyed a great meal and lively discussion. Hopefully they will visit us in Venice next month.

Beach Moments

The weather since the last week of February has been more like May than the usual March. We have had days of very warm temperatures so the beach has beckoned often. Since the beach is surprisingly different each day, there is always something to catch our attention. I must point out that we share the space with lots of critters and many people.
