While the rest of U.S. seems to be digging themselves out of the snow, the Meet & Mingle group spent a lovely evening on the patio at Antonio's Fusion Dining.

Antonio's is located on the 2nd floor of the Best Western Admirals Inn (which will be changing their name soon to Best Western Park View).  With a newly remodeled look and a new menu, Antonio's is a great place for an intimate dinner date, drinks with friends, or a place to unwind after a long day. 

They now offer a Prime Rib buffet on Friday nights and a Seafood buffet on Saturday nights.  The food was very good and will definitely try their weekend buffet soon.  In addition, they also offer a brunch menu and look for lunch service coming in the near future.

We all had such a great evening together laughing and sharing funny intimate stories.  We all laughed to the point of tears the entire night.  It was a "boot-scooting" good time.  You definitely had to be there....

Donna & Mary of Shamar's Chocolate's were there and they brought their fantastic chocolate candies with them.  They made this gorgeous tea set made from chocolate and gave it to me.  They knew my love of tea and that I own a Home Tea Tasting business.  If you have not tried their chocolates, definitely give them a call - 863.965.7085 (ask for Mary).  The have absolutely no preservatives and no wax or fillers.

We missed seeing Lori Brogan at a few of the past Meet & Mingle events.  It was great to see her again and catch up with her. 

Deb Cooper of Deb's Cookies and Treats always brings the laughter wherever she goes.  Looking forward to seeing her at Winter Haven's Main Street Market Day this weekend.  She will be there with an assortment of her fabulous cookies, cakes, and pies.  Deb has been working on creating some amazing sugar-free pies and cookies.  All of her products are made with only the finest ingredients and no preservatives.  Can't wait to try her sugar-free apple pie, she says it has absolutely no after taste....I'm sold!  I have been counting the days till I see her at the Main Street Market - her lemon bars are divine!!!

My sister Lisa was there - it was the first time that the "Charmed Ones" were all together at a Meet & Mingle event in quite some time.  Of course, Erika, Lisa and myself didn't think to take a picture.  We will have to do that next time though.  We took a picture of our appetizer instead....the grilled bruschetta was very tasty!

It was great to see Barbara Anderson and Holly Thornhill again.  They are both fantastic women and we hope to see them again at future events.

Definitely come out to our next Meet & Mingle on Tuesday, February 15th at Bonefish Grill in Lakeland.  Drop in anytime between 5:30 - 7:30pm.  We will be there to help you unwind from your busy day and add a little laughter in the process.
