Saturday, February 24, 2018

Hey there! What’s up? We talked with Roddy and Shay this morning and heard they’re now playing Pickle Ball in their community. Sweet! They’ve also been going to the Saturday morning community breakfast (by golf cart) and to a recent cocktail party! We’re thrilled Roddy and Shay are enjoying their new digs! πŸ‘πŸ»

Speaking of digs ... I began my morning by taking down the kazillion of pictures from the hallway gallery. (It was dated ... time for a refresh!) After all the picture hooks and nails were out I discovered the spackle was hard as a rock. Drat. So, it was off to Home Depot for more. I also picked up paint samples ... ready to switch things up. Ha! 

RanDawn were scarce today ... too much fun at The Hideaway last night I was told and had been late getting moving today. Tweet tweet πŸ€ͺ🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷. Bob and Jill are having some Florida fun and sun 🌞. Tomorrow evening, we are all going to Stavros for dinner! 

Rick M called on FaceTime today. It’s always fun to catch up and hear what’s going on in the Kelowna (BC) area. It’s apparently been an incredibly cold winter there reaching 20 below several times! (I always thought it didn’t get below zero there and even that, very seldom.) when we watch the news, so many areas are having unusual weather. We are certainly in a period of climate change. It was 84° here today, in February. That’s 10° warmer than our usual winter day! 

Anyway, I took the dogs for a nice golf cart ride around the neighborhood. Later, we had happy hour on the front porch and they enjoyed a frosty paws treat.

The 3 paint samples are on the wall and I will wait until tomorrow morning to check it out and decide what color wins. One color has a slight edge, as Mark found a gallon and 3/4 in his storage shed., That would save about $100 ... hmmm. 

BEFORE ...


Our huge tapestry that we bought in Mount Dora many years ago has now moved to the dining room wall. Things are being shifted around, just for a change. Hey, I inherited this honestly. πŸ˜ƒ My mom was always switching furniture around and had a blonde coffee table set stored in the basement and dark coffee table set upstairs. As the seasons changed, so did the tables. Furniture was always being dragged from here to there and rooms changed about. There’s a funny story regarding that. One night, dad came home late, tried to get into bed but fell on the floor as mom had changed the bedroom room around. 🀣 Finally, (years later) he insisted he could not sleep with his head to the south so the bedroom stayed primarily the same. Well, sort of. Mom couldn’t resist; a little twist to make things different. I’m the same. We dyed furniture together, rented carpet shampooers to dye carpeting and we were always up to something with paint brushes. It was fun! 

Here’s a sweet picture of The Caddy taken for Rod and Shay to see. The kids are totally safe in back with plenty of breeze! 


That’s it for today! Busy busy! Painting begins tomorrow morning! πŸ˜…
