November 4th, 2007 – TexAnn’s Birthday!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.04, 2007, under Florida Outdoors!, Florida Restaurants, What\'s New?
Sunday morning we were in Sanford and joined quite a crowd on the Rivership Romance to celebrate friend TexAnn Ivy Buck’s birthday! We were all gathered at various tables and Sandra and I found ourselves seated with Grace Chewning, former-Mayor Carl Langford, his son Tom and his wife, Pam. With the exception of Sandra, we are all former Orlando City Hall employees. We had a great time talking about “Silly Hall”, as Grace aptly refers to it.
Grace is the most amazing person I know to remember names and stories! She just remembers everything!
During the cruise in the St. Johns River, I sketched various scenes we went by. Here are two of those.
=============================
After the cruise we quickly poked around Downtown Sanford so Sandra could update one of her guidebooks. In an art gallery we found old friend Pam Treadwell helping out. We got a chance to catch up with the always nutty-cool-dude happenin’s of the Treadwell domicile.
