Lazy day. Visiting day. Catching up on family and listening to family stories. President Obama is coming to Ft Myers today so that’s the big news. Flo and Ralph had thought about getting tickets—only 1,500 were available. People started lining up for them at 9 PM Sunday night. If you weren’t there by midnight, you didn’t get a ticket. Needless to say, they weren’t camping out there at midnight and thus didn’t get tickets. But we watch it all on local TV. Such a refreshing change from the Bush days. The only thing you needed for a ticket was to wait in line. Protesters were allowed along the route into town and outside the venue.
We go to the flea market at the Shell Factory and score 2 Fire King peach bowls, 2 Corelle cups with the overlapping handles, a Corelle bowl and a DVD. We buy lots of veggies—cauliflower, green beans, tomatoes—for dinner. This is actually a higher quality flea market than Monday’s stop. Guess it’s a function of being in a city.
Frank and Pam come to visit, Charmaine stops by with her son, Connor. Nice visit. Dinner then more Euchre.
