+ Earl’s 95th birthday arrives right on schedule
Lynn Earl is a lady who follows a routine.

Every Saturday for the past several years, Earl and her husband, Dallas, have enjoyed Saturday lunch at the New Dynasty Restaurant, in Sarasota. They always arrive exactly at 1:20 p.m.

For her 95th birthday celebration, there were no other options — New Dynasty it was.

Promptly at 1:20 p.m. March 12, 21 children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews arrived.

When the cake came out with candles in the shape of a “9” and “5,” she joked, “Can’t we switch and make it ‘5’ and ‘9?’”
