We experienced our first ‘friends’ visit on the Great Loop Saturday, May 21. Deb and Lou Bartolucci moved to St. Augustine from Ft. Lauderdale about four years ago. Deb and Pat worked together many years for the masonry association and Lou is a specialist mason and former instructor of apprentices.
They came to the marina with their new pup, Charlotte (a beautiful Golden Retriever with a lot of personality!) They drove us to their home and on the way we stopped at an animal rescue, that has bison, ostriches, emus, and more. The ostriches were waiting for Deb – she’s a regular visitor with handouts!


Deb and Lou have a beautiful home – lots of land, deer, trees, flowers and gorgeous outdoor entertainment areas. Here’s their most recent addition:

Deb is an animal lover like me – so appreciated spending time with her furry family! What a great visit – thank you, Deb and Lou!

It’s pretty cool, right! They got the building as s ‘kit’ from Home Depot. However, Lou is a mason and an expert at that. He designed and built all the brick work. There’s a grill area to the right I didn’t get in the photo. Love you Gary! Miss you.
