Tuesday, September 12, 2017

Good morning it's 1030 and I've just done the dishes from Mark cooking breakfast. We need a break from the house and have a list of things to get at Home Depot, if possible. It's forecast to be 91 today so I guess the dogs will be at home while we go shopping! I don't like the thought of both of us being away while our generator is unprotected. That sounds goofy, right? Well, we did live in South Florida where we have already heard of generators being stolen. 

The traffic lights from 473 towards Leesburg on 441 were working, but south of 473 wasn't. It was crazy driving! We spent $100 at Home Depot for a few necessary supplies including an outside broom and an inside broom. Ha ha. Although we were using the app gas buddy we didn't find any fuel. People were lined up at the pumps hoping a fuel truck would eventually show up and they would be first in line. It seemed rather pointless so we headed to ABC liquors where we found skeleton staff running the store with a small generator. Yay. 



There's gonna be a PARTAY tonight I know 🎢 πŸ˜‹

Whew! It's too hot for much outdoor work this afternoon! OMG a half hour and I'm soaked. My job today is to rake up the debris on the gravel patio and put the bar and it decorations back. DONE. 

Mark utilized Da Mounty to pull the leaning tower of palm upright. Actually I helped by driving while he braced it. Done ✅ 

Randy and Dawn arrived just after 4 o'clock, exactly when we both needed a break. We poured wine and sat around the kitchen counter with a fan blowing on us. Sweet. Life is Good. We shared a few funny, horror  stories and then decided to put our feet into Lew and Lynn's pool. Today's temperature was 70° and it felt great. Mark and I put our suits on and eased in slowly. It felt great; I sure miss having a pool. 

Sue and Wayne are visiting a work friend in Iowa tonight at a campground. It's so nice to have friends along the way. Jan has 3 Westies ...

Westies ... Scottie cousins. πŸΎπŸ’•

Mark cooked chicken cutlets and pork chops with corn for dinner tonight. It's fun, kind of camping in the house. Ha ha. What's not fun is doing the dishes in a pot of cold water. Yikes. 

That's it for tonight. We are going to sit listen to music on Pandora with a couple of tea lights burning while  sipping cheap wine. A perfect night. It's pitch black outside and 79F ... it'll be 71 in the a.m. Ta Ta. 😍
