April 21st, 2007 – Lakeland SPCA & Jimbos!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.23, 2007, under Florida Restaurants, Friends, Various
Got home early morning from the Tallahassee trip, syole a couple hours sleep and I was back on the road again by 5am to donate time as I annually do in Lakeland for Lakeland’s SPCA Walk-A-Thon around Lake Hollingsworth.I drew caricatures there until around noon.
After that I headed over to Jimbo’s Bar-B-Q, also in Lakeland, to enjoy great ribs with longtime friends, Susie and Russell Noel. I met Susie and Russell back when I drew caricatures at Stars Hall of Fame in the early ’80s. It sure seems to me that they haven’t changed a bit since then and I’m extremely envious of that! Me – since the ’80s – have added a beard and about 80 pounds! AND grey hair!!!!!
With Susie and Russell was their daughter, Crystal, and her boyfriend. The drawing is of one of the sliced pickles that are at each table to nibble on along with hot cherry peppers.
