Renewing at Jensen Beach

We met Windy Affair in Fort Lauderdale north of Miami at Lake Sylvia. They had gone on ahead while we waiting for Annette to have her final appointments with her doctor and her physical therapist. Annette is faced with restricted physical exercise for her achilles tendon for the next four months. We continued together to Jensen Beach where Annette renewed her relationship with a relative she hadn't seen in thirty five years. Lorraine was married to her father's first cousin. Her son, Greg, lives nearby and came to see Annette one of the evenings we spent there. Lorraine was a marvelous hostess, treating us to dinner and, especially, to Easter dinner. She also "let" Gary drive her car. We did drive to Stuart where Gary technically finished the Loop since he had left by boat from Stuart when he helped Dick Davenport bring his trawler from Stuart to New York. Of course, we are really only going to count it when we get back to Sodus Bay. We were reluctant to leave Jensen Beach and Lorraine but we know we will be able to see her again when we return in the fall. Jensen Beach is struggling with what the long time residents view as too much development. It is a place where there is still a lot of the old Florida surviving.
