27 February 2026 Hollywood: The Wine Club Reunion at the Tiki Tiki

 


We are heading up to Orlando in the morning and since there were so many folks from Wine Club and Book Club still to see we booked part of the Tiki Tiki to  gather them all together into one place.  We got there at 2:30 to make sure everything was in place and ready for us.  Indeed it was ready and it was ready early as well so as soon as folks arrived we settled into the new party corner.  We had between 15 and 20 folks show up and the good times were remembered, re-lived and experienced once again.  Thanks to all the folks who came out.

26 February 2026 Hollywood : The Second Big Day Continues

 


More visiting, more eating, more drinking, more smiles and laughter.   We are so lucky to be able to see different folks all over the Ft. Lauderdale area.  A big shout out to Alex and Ray at their new house.  It was build by the first female architect in Ft Lauderdale.  More shouts to Robert Boo and all the folks at the Pride Center Founders Event.  Finally the biggest thanks of all of them to Keith and Jacob for putting up with our worn out buts!


An architectural delight


Tibetan influences 


A patchy paint jub


Heading inside


A previously covered back area


A fire place!


Very open


A tipple sounded fine
