Dan's brother Dwight welcomed us to Florida.
My readers should remember Debra and her husband Kevin, whom you met along with Dan's brother Dwight in my earlier blog of St.Patrick's Day in Texas.
Later we were joined by another niece Bonnie and her Brad.
That night we had a few toasts to Barb. Then the next morning we took off to the other side of Florida, to West Palm Beach ,where Barb's favourite beach was. That was where Barb and Dwight's third daughter Deanna was catching up with us.
That night, we, including Dan's sister Brenda and her husband Gary, all gathered for dinner at the Blue Anchor restaurant and bar.
Our three Thacker Nieces. Bonnie, Deanna and Debra.
The next day was the Memorial service, which I covered in an earlier blog. Before the little ceremony some had a refreshing swim in the ocean. Then after the memorial the wind picked up a bit and we headed back to the hotel.
Dwight put us all up at the beautiful Marriot Courtyard in West Palm beach. We all spent a lot of time gathered pool side, well into the evenings. That was really, lovely.
That night we all gathered again for dinner. This time at The Old Key Lime House on the ocean.

Another lovely dinner with family and friends reminiscing and sharing stories of Barb.
Then it was back again to the west side of Florida and our flight from Tampa back to Winnipeg.
NOW IT'S TIME TO GET TO OUR SPRING TODO LISTS
