After leaving Boca Raton I drove across the state to Tampa where I spent an evening with Ali Russell, a close friend of mine from elementary and middle school. Although I saw Ali only a few months ago (she flew up to CT for Mom's funeral), I haven't seen the rest of her family in a number a years. Her parents had us over for a lovely dinner and excellent conversation. I have missed their warmth and friendship a lot over the years.

Tampa, FL
I didn't take any pictures while spending time with my aunt and uncle. I also failed to take pictures while spending time with my cousin Adam who recently returned from Afghanistan where he served as a communications and satellite specialist in the Army. However, I assure you a good time was had by all.

These are Ali's parents Don & BJ Russell. I'm the one on the right.
This is their house. The picture is taken from the boatdock facing their courtyard. Their home is beautiful.
This is the view of Tampa from their boat dock.
Oh yeah, and this is Ali. She rocks.

Ali does rock!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd on the assumption that she reads this, or some travel-agent she knows does, allow me to state that should she wish to come to CT again for a visit, I have a delightful AeroBed AND couch, either of which she is welcome to.
People who rock must hang together.
