With long time friends absences are not of consequence. You just resume the discussion and camaraderie where you left of. So our two days (three nights) with Alex and Kathy where just an extension of times gone by. Above: Some pictures from past visits to Sarasota and the McKenzies.
During our two day we had dinner one night in the dining room of their complex (the Fountains) and were joined by two of their friends Arline and Milt. After dinner Arline, a very talented artist, invited us to her apartment to see her work. Currently she is creating beautiful mosaics and we saw some in process and many other finished pieces. In the past she was a ceramic artist and a quilter and her apartment is filled with gorgeous examples of her work.
On our last night in Sarasota we went out to dinner at a terrific Italian restaurant. Harry and Alex were thrilled that Osso Bucco was on the special list. Kathy and I opted for pasta dishes.
For daytime entertainment we did a walking and driving tour of buildings designed by architects part of the Sarasota School in the mid 1900’s. The pictures are a mix of Alex's pictures and mine.
