We belong to a group of friends who all were and continue to be members of the Keystone Winnies from the eastern area of Pennsylvania. We met several of them when we went on the Grand Circle Caravan way back in 2005 and became close friends with Frank and Bette Foulke who are part of the group. As the years have gone by, we have become "members" and do many things with them during the season here in Florida. Several are here at Hillcrest, a couple are at American Condo, and the others are scattered around the area.
Over the years we have introduced them all to bd Mongolian Grill a favorite restaurant of ours that opened 25 years ago just a few blocks from our church and home. We loved it then and were thrilled when a branch opened in Lakeland. Now it is tradition for us all to gather there once in January, February and March to celebrate the birthdays of those who celebrate that month.
Today we caravaned over to celebrate 5 birthdays
Dorothy Beers, Ron Alesin, Walt Novitzky and Harold Zimmerman (Mike Mihalik celebrates his 1/2 year then but refused to get in the picture)
Twenty-one of us gathered in the private room after choosing our foods and getting them grilled
Our server was wonderful and at one point all of the servers including the manager came in and sang happy birthday to the bunch and gave them little hot fudge sundaes.
We had a fantastic time together and then before we all went our separate ways we gathered outside for this picture
