DAY 17: SUNDAY-EASING OUR WAY BACK INTO PALM BEACH LIFE...
BEST TO START WITH LUNCH AT THE COLONY (GREAT FOR ANY OCCASION, BUT PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE FOR TODAY!)... FOLLOWED BY A TRIP TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ON THE ISLAND: A FAUX MEDITERRANEAN REVIVAL STRUCTURE THAT LOOKS LIKE A CONDOMINIUM RESIDENCE, BUT IS IN FACT A PET FRIENDLY GROCERY STORE! AND THE STAFF IS FABULOUS!
AND THE AFTERNOON WOULDN'T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A VISIT ACROSS THE RIVER OR LAKE OR WHATEVER THAT WATER IS TO NOREEN MCKEEN RESIDENCE TO VISIT THE FAMILY MATRIARCH, LADY JEANNE. OLIVE AND I WERE SO EXHAUSTED AT THAT POINT WE JUST WANTED TO BOOK ROOMS! JEANNE, CHECKING IN AT 93 WAS WONDERING WHERE WE HAD BEEN FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS! GREAT TO SEE HER AND TALK ABOUT THE PALM BEACH PARROTS!!!
THE EVENING ENDED WITH A TASTY DINNER AT BRICKTOP'S, SITTING IN A COZY BAR-SIDE BOOTH. OUTDOOR SEATING WAS A BIT HOT AT THIS TIME...SERVICE AND STAFF WAS TOP SHELF AS ALWAYS, EXCEPT WE JUST MISSED THE HOSTESS AND MANAGER EXTRAORDINAIRE, TAMMI...HOPEFULLY WE WILL CATCH HER LATER THIS WEEK.
