An Offer We Couldn't Refuse....

We were just a phone call away.......no twisting of our arm......no bribing us at all. When Frank's son called to see if we would like to meet them at the Casa Marina for a drink and dinner, we couldn't refuse. Was that a coincidence that Scott was wearing that T-Shirt??? :) - 'Who's Your Daddy?' -- There it is -- Father and Son!

Not seeing the family in a while, this was a special occasion and the location was the best.




We watched a wedding being performed AND we waved goodbye to 'Hurricane Bill the Bully,' as we looked out over our beautiful ocean and the bevy of surfers who were surfing til they couldn't feel their arms.





The Martini Bar at the Casa was

the place to be Saturday evening -- lots of people, lots of friends.


Scott's wife, Michelle, visited with Jim.


Lisa (Jim's girlfriend) was in heavy conversation otherwise I know she would have turned

and smiled for the camera!




Terry Parker alums gathered too. and...




Frank's grandkids tolerated all of us, but were delightful as usual. They were hungry, but we just couldn't leave the veranda and the beautiful evening breeze.

Is that beer they are drinking? No, no way!

Hard to complain when you get a sunset like this.......all in all a
very good night!








See you again soon!

Mayors...Chairs.....Party.....A Not To Be Missed Event!

Our Beaches Mayors are serving as Honorary Chairs of Beaches Party to benefit the Beaches Women’s Partnership.

Beaches Women’s Partnership’s Annual Seaside Shindig and Beaches Party presented by Medical Partners of America is usually a standing room only event.

Held oceanside each year, the event is beaches casual fun at its best!

This year is proving to be no exception! In addition to a fabulous silent and live auction, the Beaches Women’s Partnership’s event committee has pulled out all of the stops to insure fun from the moment guests arrive. From lobster tossing and putting contests to dancing to the sounds of the Johnston Duo, to honoring Pegine Echevarria as the first "Pearl of the Beaches," there is literally something for everyone.

Joining BWP in honoring her will be Beaches Mayors and this year’s Honorary Co-Chairs Atlantic Beach Mayor John Meserve, Neptune Beach Mayor Harriett Pruette and Jacksonville Beach Mayor Fland Sharp.

The event takes place on Friday, July 17 at 7 p.m. at Casa Marina in Jacksonville Beach.

Tickets are just $75 each and can be purchased by calling (904) 249-1450.

Let's Party!

BWP Party Prep

Beaches Women's Partnership is gathering their forces again for the Beach Party Annual Fundraiser!

Taking advantage of our beautiful weather and beaches, Cindy Stoddart gathered all the committee members for a photo op at the Casa Marina Beach Walk. (ok, so we got a little sunburned and a little sandy -- it's all for the cause!) Dany -it'll be ok.....


Pegine Echevarria continues to support the cause and is a part of the BWP community. I told Pegine that she looked just like the Angel from Girls Night: The Musical that I had seen the night before. All in white, looking like a mixture of glorious and a lot rock and roll.

This year's event is already off to a great start! More pix may follow.......(Cindy, where are they :))

Mark your calendars for July 17 - Seaside Shindig at the Casa Marina. The Johnston Duo will be playing!
