Lake Worth also honored those fallen from the Revolutionary times to WWI, WWII, VietNam and the most recent casualties of war, at our Pinecrest Cemetery.  Among the seven wreaths placed was one from the Lake Worth Women’s Club and one from our City of Lake Worth.  This  was read something Eleanor Roosevelt’s wartime prayer. Which she carried with her.

Dear Lord,

Lest I continue
My complacent way,
Help me to remember that somewhere,
Somehow out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war,
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?

white crosses with the American flag was set by each grave.

Vogel-Lee Post 47 undertook all the arrangements with the following participants.  American Legion, Auxillary, SAL Riders and BoyscoutsTroop 204, and Girl Scout Troop 20519  the service took place 10:00 a.m this morning.  A heartfelt thank you to the vets that live here in Lake Worth both male and the females that I have the privilege to know personally.  Thank YOU Editors note: the image below will always stay with me on this day as it was done by one of our artists Fred W. Hunt for a post down in Miami. 

s J st is an energy filled one short block in downtown Lake Worth.  Who hasn’t got a pc of furniture they are tired of or can’t stand but was a gift.  To address this issue. Cafe Art Studio created this unique class.  Furniture painting and not on wood either.  These pcs had been left in a corner, stored out of site or some participants in this class went thrifting just so they could participate.  My stool came via dumpster diving and had been relegated to the outdoors, untill I was ready to address it.  I always knew I would paint it, that was the plan. As most of the readers here know it had been raining raining and the stool was outdoors and soaked.  It dried it just in time to participate at 6:30 last Friday.  The furniture painting class $40.00 well worth it.  A space to create with like-minded people, everything provided and ever flow of hospitality with munchies, wine, and plenty of good humor. The someday project was taken in hand and the accomplishments for none artists was exciting as their imagined art piece became reality.  Paint cans in all colors were popped open and colors choice poured onto paper plates (the poor man’s pallet).  Maria’s own Diva Chairs are ever present with tongue and cheek that take all the intimidations away . She’s really made something of the smallest art space in town and the most active.  Check out her various classes which are given almost daily and handled with humor and enjoyment well worth the bucks you spend there.

Many visitors to our area tend to ask for a fish restaurant, as if being so close to the ocean it is a given. This could be a new favorite spot. It’s family friendly, by the time we got there they had already served over 100 meals.  My guests from Georgia and I were able to snag a table as the place was packed. Opening Day!  Radio station  99.5  LaLey was doing a live remote and inside karaoke and Mexican music gave it a festive atmosphere.  Upon being seated we each received a taste of ceviche which I hesitated but seeing my guests delight I tried it and it was different from what I have had previously on a trip to Peru.  This was more than eating raw fish it had lots of flavors.  It took three of us to finish the shrimp cocktail. 

I tend to be a timid eater in a new place but as the food passed, I kept thinking should have ordered that.   All the portions were generous. As a Mexican friend told me once tacos are not served with cheese in Mexico, then this is authentic.

Owners Delilah Ramirez and husband Roberto                      I wish them good fortune.

Don’t let the location or appearance fool you.  This could become your next favorite restaurant in Lake Worth. El Oceano is just a short block south of Lake Ave on the WEST side of Dixie,(just south of City Hall) parking available in back and on side of the building.  The kitchen is just left of the entrance so you can have a peak as you enter quite small, big on flavor. I did expect more ambiance but this was their first day.  Certainly can accommodate a large group of friends.  All these families can’t be wrong.  Maybe eat here then wander over to Mathews Brewing which is just in back on H st. Could use more ambiance, it was 5:30 when we ate there it was still bright outside. Try it let me know your experience. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
