Mardi Gras / Donna Birthday Party

Great time last night (Feb.3) with friends and family. So happy to be living in Buttonwood Heights, in The Villages. Still, in shock, my baby sister Jennifer Carnes was here to celebrate my birthday and Mardi Gras with me. Special thanks to Marlon and Mary Braunstein for all your help in making this party happen.





 


 







































 




 




Harp Ensemble



 I have never seen a harp up close or even been to a harp ensemble. I loved the sound of the harps together. There was a 13-year old that played the harp, such a talented young lady. I also got to enjoy harp playing by Jan Jennings. She let several people request songs and she played as many as she could remember being asked to play. Very, very impressed with this ladies talent. She is considered one of the top harpists in the country. This weekend has been very musical. Let the good times roll. Take time and listen to this talented lady.

We started out with heading upstairs to the wine and cheese bar, where we purchased some wine and cheese and meat tray. The musician played Gary and Emma's wedding song and they danced. We also toasted them with a glass of wine from this winery.  Everything was so fun, nice place to be on a beautiful day with great friends.  It is great that we are celebrating their 22 wedding anniversary today with them.  
Next adventure was a wine tour and wine tasting of all their wines. Great tour and wines were delicious.
Time to go outside and watch a band that was performing. We didn't bring chairs but did have a blanket to sit on. We will be going back here again â™¥
