Clearwater to Gulfport

The good things about this adventure are made even richer through being able to see and visit with great friends from the past. Marlene spent her growing up years in Canton, Ohio where her dad was a pastor. So she remembers her Canton years very fondly, particularly all the great people she got to know while there. On that note, we really enjoyed being with Barbara (Ciokan) Jacobs (above) who moved to this area about 30 years ago. Barb is an Assistant State Attorney with the State of Florida, celebrating her 29th anniversary with the State Attorney's office yesterday. Congratulations Barb, and thanks for sharing with us about your wonderful family!
Have you ever had Cuban food? Hint: It's not like Mexican food. Barb took us to this great little Cuban restaurant in Gulfport. We had a delicious pork dinner with all the trimmings and topped it off with an award winning desert: Flan made with cream cheese. This was clearly the best food we've had since that fish dinner at Bobby's Fish Camp.

THANK YOU for the lovely flowers received by your Mother on her 93rd Birthday. She was so pleased and we did a little celebrating with the nearby family.
Yes, you are right she is a miracle and a beautiful lady inside and out. Everyone loves her at the new place because she extends her love to everyone. Hope we all remember that and inherit her kindness. We are blessed.
Sis and Ben
