Way back in our courtship days, the two of us loved to go to Gigi’s for pizza, it was the only place we knew of that offered green olives as a pizza topping. Since then the original Pasadena, Florida location has closed but lucky for us the Newberne family still runs this wonderful Italian restaurant mini-chain and they have a location on Fourth Street North in St Petersburg, Florida, very convenient to our friend Vivian’s house where we often stay when we return to our former hometown. We timed our arrival today so that we could dine with Vivian here and take advantage of Gigi’s Wine Wednesday so we could nosh on delicious food, enjoy some Sangria, and catch up on one another’s lives as the first stage of our midwinter retreat to the sunshine.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
