Can you believe this woman is 85 years old? This beautiful person is Marcella Gilliland's Mother who just celebrated her 85th birthday with her and her family in Sarasota, Florida. She and her friend, Duane spent the past two and one half weeks with them and were busy doing lots of different things. The whold Florida family got together to go out on the Marina Jack LeBarge Boat. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable time. We saw many beautiful homes that makes one wonder where does all this money come from that lines the coastline and bay of Sarasota County? It was one multi million dollar home after another. Breath taking to say the least.
Marcella Gilliland's family also spent lots of time together cooking out and having the family over for conversation and sometimes a drink or two. They played Mexican train, cribbage, five crowns and other card games. Saphren, the grand daughter of Marcella Gilliland gave Great Grandma Canfield rides on the newly won $6,000 golf cart. The weather was beautiful and time was spent walking the beach and reading outside to catch a few rays.
Today Marcella Gilliland's Mother and her friend flew back home to Iowa. They were going back to a huge ice storm and there was much concern whether the plane would leave the St Petersburg airport or not. All was well and they plane arrived in Cedar Rapids on a de-iced run way.
Marcella Gilliland plans to visit her family in Iowa in May when her niece is getting married. At least there won't be an ice storm.
