In these pictures you'll get a feel for the weather we had all weekend long. Brunch at Bella Vista could not have been nicer, with the slight exception, as Joker noted, of the fact that a "sweat bee swatter" would have been handy!
The restaurant is located adjacent to the marina, so we had first-class seating for traffic moving on the water. All but Cinders ordered the breakfast buffet, which was good. Cinders ordered a specialty salad, which looked better than what I had on my plate! We've heard the restaurant, which as the name implies serves Italian most of the time, is a good place for pasta. I hope we'll get a chance to return soon and report to you on TD's favorite... "Spaghetti Bolognese".

Joker, we look forward to further catching up in October.

TD's daughter Shani (Shay-nee) stopped by to share the beautiful day with us.

TwoDogs in a discussion with Joker. I bet they were talking about horses...
DJ, you shoulda been here!

Cinders...
Making a point?
I'll take more days like this any day, folks.
Good food. Good company.
Good weather. Great view.
It just doesn't get much better.

What a fantastic weekend!
I would say Christmas presents came early this year.
What a gift!
Great to see Joker again! Looks like she's enjoying herself despite the bees. Thanks for the photos.
I haven't seen Shani since she was in a bassinet at TD's mother's; 3-4 mo. old at the most! What a beautiful girl.
Bo
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at our Sunday brunch. As I told GB and TD, I know them better now then I did 42 years ago, because of this blog.
I thought it might be kind of awkward meeting up with basically strangers, but it wasn't like that at all.
TD,
Shani is such a beautiful girl inside and out. You could tell she was a true animal lover, too, and she seemed to fit right in with our conversations.
Thank You, Bo & Joker! We agree...
Yes, PT, It was a great weekend. And we have missed you! Any open dates in the Spring????
Next Fall, we will plan an Irish mini to coincide with Irish Fest. The Indy Irish Mini - the wearing of a kilt will be optional, but, greatly encouraged.
PTO - is that appropriate? Or do you have to be Irish to wear a kilt? O'TwoDogs has a nice Celtic ring to it....
