Good afternoon all y’all and join us in wishing Sue a very Happy Birthday!

Looking great!

Today was a work about the house event. Mark finished cleaning the boathouse roof from hurricane debris. Rather than haul it to the curb, he burned it. Easier for sire!

Me? I began cutting in on the front of the house and worked 5-6 hours. Tomorrow, back at it. 

When Mark walked BeeZee at noon he noticed she has a UTI. I phoned for a prescription from our wonderful vet and Mark picked it ip before 5 today. Why does it always happen on a Friday? 

Robbie’s wearing socks today to stop him from chewing his front paws. This morning he got a vinegar foot soak followed by hydrocortisone cream AND socks. 

Mr Cutie. 🥰 

That’s it for today. 🥂🍾

HALLOWEEN 2024

Good evening! It’s Witches & Bitches fun and games at Rose’s house today! 🎃👻

Fun afternoon!!! 

Yeah, that’s cobwebs and green tinted skin 😂

Meanwhile, Mark had a good morning with friend Wayne tidying up the hog hunting grounds. 

When I came home he had grocery shopped and picked up Rob’s prescriptions. 🥰

Sue and Wayne and Diane and Kris went to a Halloween bingo in the villages tonight. 

It looks like a fun night! 

It’s Telly time now … watching Josh Gates on Expedition Unknown. Happy Halloween! 🎃

It’s still pumpkin season here in Central Florida until the calendar changes … then it’ll be full on Christmas decor til after New Year’s. 😂  What’s it like in your area?

Mark and I had a pretty busy day. We delivered our “old” fridge then were off to Home Depot for house paint. For two years we’ve procrastinated about painting the house exterior!  We now have the supplies!!! The stucco will be refreshed with the light sage green but changing the trim. Light trim looks nice but gets buggy in blind mosquito season. Plus, lizard poop looks awful on white paint. 

Another project is a base for the generator … even though hurricane season is about over. November has possibilities but unusual. 

We had some fun news! Our friend Bonnie is coming (from Tulsa) for Robbie’s 14th birthday party! 🥳 

Funny stuff. 🐾🥰

That’s it for today. Hope you’ll have a Happy Halloween tomorrow!

Good afternoon! It’s another day in paradise with a breeze and 74F. 

We 8 met at Ski Beach to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries! There was plenty of chat and laughs. Randy’s begun therapy on his shoulder and was much happier than last time ww saw him. Kris is midway through his major dental surgery but managed a pastrami sandwich. 

Has Sue shrunk? 😂 She’s in the photo but just barely. 

It was such a fun time. Anyway, here’s another one. 

Selfie stick was forgotten at home. Darn it. 

After lunch we checked on the kids then went to pick up a new to us refrigerator. We’re swapping our bisque color for a dark stainless fridge. 

The fridge coincides nicely with the stove Lynn and Steve gave us and the dishwasher we bought last year. (Wayne and LaDonna loaned us the trailer for moving it.)  🥰 Great friends, all around! 

You’d think the Scotties worked moving today!

Hahaha … we’re watching Telly and they’re happy to snooze after the dentals were done. 

That’s it for today!

Good morning! 🌞 

Restaurant Prime 3 in Leesburg was a great time last night! 

Service was excellent and food, delicious! We had a wonderful evening! Downtown Leesburg was hosting a trick-or-treat complete with entertainment. Parking was a bit tough because of that, but we found a spot just a block away.  

Complimentary dessert for our 30th anniversary! Nice. 

Sue came over for a visit yesterday! It was Wyatt’s first time meeting his auntie Sue. All 3 Scotties were very very quiet and aloof. Something was up … did they think Sue was a sitter and Mark ‘n I were going away? 

This beautiful all weather wicker is what the K’s have ordered for their RV site “hut.” 😂 It’s quite a hut. 🤩 Nice choice!

Mark came home from helping Randy and had made a detour to the woods. The roads are still impossible from the hurricane rains. So, he whipped up some lunch for us and we had coffee. 

After Sue had left for home, our dogs made a miraculous recovery of energy! 😂 They were grabbing toys and running around playing. We really think they thought we were going away again.  I guess we were missed in September. 

This afternoon we took the dogs for a ride on the golf cart and stopped at Nancy’s. She was out, but we enjoyed the pool and the kids love running around the deck.  

I’m afraid Robbie made himself really at home and dropped the deuce. 😂

Wyatt likes to watch the boat go by. It was a beautiful afternoon afternoon, 82° with a 7 mile an hour breeze

It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny morning here in central Florida. Mark has gone to help Randy put together a swing for Dawn. Sue is on her way over for a lunch visit. We have a little project to do at Nancy’s, and then Mark and I are out for dinner tonight to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.  🥂🍾❤️

Not too shabby for a couple of mischief makers 😂

So we began celebrating our anniversary on September 8 with our whirlwind trip to the UK and nine other European countries. It was all a blast, and we enjoyed every minute of it  Tonight, we have dinner plans! 

Yesterday, I snapped this cool picture of a moth on our green stucco. 

That is an interesting shadow that the moth is casting! 

Mark’s testing Dawn’s new swing!

Good afternoon! It’s a warm 82F and sunny. Mark’s been cleaning the boathouse gutters of leaf debris from Milton’s 88 MPH winds. 

Halloween 🎃 is coming and our neighborhood is decorated with 12’ tall skeletons and inflatable statues. It’s all fun … but we don’t get trick or treaters! 🤨 Most parents take their kids to Halloween events nowadays. 

It was dusting day for me! Nancy popped over for a few minutes and wondered where my cleaning lady was. She’s right here Nancy! 😂 I’m it! 🧺 🧽 🪣  I painted a date on a knickknack for her niece then she was off to Orlando. 

We 3 played two games of Catan last night … Mark won both games! It’s always a fun time.
