Winding down... kinda!

Finally, spring is in the air. Temps are hitting the mid 80's, the sun is higher in the sky and many of our friends are heading north. Our bicycle group is clinging together inspite of the exodus. Our group planned a Monday ride before most of the members headed for home. Neither sleet, nor rain, nor whatever was going to halt our last "official" ride. However, a heavy downpour did managed to stop us on our mission this day... but not our bike ride lunch! 

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the "Winter Garden Pizza Company" along with many laughs, memories and expectations for next year.

A few days later our "party of six" headed for the new store at DownTown Disney, "RideMakerz".

The remote control toy car store was a treat for adults as well as the kids.

You pick the body, chassis, wheels and tires and then you can go crazy putting your own "details" on the car.

They provide "work benches" and even a few "technicians" to get your car road-ready.

But, they have a couple of real "eye-catchers" for every car lover....

Recently, we celebrated another one of our "party of six" member's Birthday. Darlene got to plan "her day" so we headed to Disney's "Cast Connection" for some shopping and lunch at "The Earl of Sandwich".

The day was perfect to enjoy being outside. After Darlene "hunted" for some Tee-Shirts and a (to die for) warm-toasted sandwich we made our way for a treat... or two!

Darlene's "Birthday button" and face clearly demonstrates the elegance of the Wetzel Pretzel's "Sinful Cinnamon" pretzel she just had to have!

But, we saved the best for last. Later in the evening, our "party of six" celebrated our youngest member's special day with...

With knife in hand, Darlene performed the honor...

After some laughs and Birthday wishes we did the next best thing.........

we ate it!!!!!!! (Well, not all of it, honestly!)
