| THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO/Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda and Surrounding Area Posted: 12/4/2007 7:37:32 AM | Hey Everyone, Did anything interesting happen this past weekend, here in SW Florida?
Bruce, How was the turn-out at ABATE activities?
Jerry and I Met with POF member"Reel_Pirate" from West Palm Beach at the Pirate Festival in Key West and celebrated our Honeymoon. We enjoyed both the local Atmosphere of Key West itself as well as the added excitement having the city full of Pirates!!
The Pirate Festival is always the last weekend in November. We have talked to Tom about getting POF'ers together to attend next year as a group.
We will be attending the Gasparilla Festival in Tampa coming up in January and would love to have anyone interested join us.
CHUBBYZ, THURSDAY...LETS GET TOGETHER AND SHARE STORIES (and Pics)OF EVERYONES HOLIDAY GET-TOGETHERS!!!

Holiday Night of Lights Fri, December 07, 2007 Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm Location: St. Armands Circle
The biggest and most magical night on St. Armands. The Circle and Circle Park magically come to life as the Circle "lights up" with thousands of white lights and lighted silhouette decorations! The offical kick off to the Holiday season, the evening begins with the lighting of St. Armands' FOUR STORY Christmas tree. And, of course, we musn't forget the arrival of that jolly old elf, himself - Santa Claus! Twelve live musical entertainment groups are scattered thoroughout the Circle as well as strolling musicians! Children have the opportunity to visit with Santa and share their wish list! Stores have extended store hours and the feeling of holiday cheer is in the air.
Sarasota Christmas Boat Parade Saturday, December 8, 2007 Time: 5 pm Location: Sarasota Bay
The boats travel from the southern tip of Longboat Key south, past City Island. The parade then crosses the bay, towards Centennial Park, and follows the shoreline south, under the Ringling Bridge. It enters the harbor by Marina Jack for judging. | |

| THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO/Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda and Surrounding Area Posted: 12/7/2007 9:17:04 AM | LYNDA, Thanks for posting!! Boat Parades are a wonderful part of living in Florida!! Instead of the sparkeling from the Sky...it's coming from the water! God Bless You All.
Usually I decorate my Christmas tree today. It is mine, and my Mothers Birthday , so usually I have the family over spend a cozy evening with my family....yet fate has given me a winter cold or flu !! I've been barking since we returned from our Honeymoon Monday night. We'll have to postpone the tree decorating!!
Did anyone get to Chubbyz last night? Is it gettting too cold to continue meeting outside? Any suggestions? Keep it up? Cancel until spring? Find a new location? Stay at Chubbyz, just meet inside? What do Ya'll think?
It's Ya'll Party...do what you want to...
Huggs, Kimmie | |

Anyone interested in going to the Gasparilla Pirate Party in Tampa (end of January)? Jerry and I had a great time at the festival in Key west.

Jerry and I were working on paperwork he need ed to turn into his company this morning for insurance. What a bunch of Double-talk....my brain hurt when we were done.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday season. Gatherings will get back to normal in January.
Keep posting local events!!!
No dis-respect to those of you who aren't Christians, yet to those who are .... With hard financial time effecting so many of those around us, try to remember Christmas is about Jesus, not money and gifts. Give of yourselves, your time, kind words and deeds to those around you. You'll feel a calmness within as you do, and possibly build a closer bond with those you interact with. To those of you who aren't Christians, I hope your holidays are wonderful and forfilling as well. My Blessings to you all. Thank You for allowing Jerry and I to get to know you and share great times with you thru-out this past year!! Huggs and holiday cheer to everyone, from both of us, Kimmie and Jerry Correll | |

I was born in Florida, yet my family moved to Massachusetts when I was in first grade.
