Good afternoon. It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny day here in Central Florida with a temperature of 83°. Mark is across the street removing carpet from around the pool and pressure washing the deck. The owner has been running from job to job pretty much overwhelmed by the project he’s taken on. (It’s hard to focus, but as Mark and I learned from doing renovations over the years you need to make a priority list and check them off one by one.) 

Beer:30 at the project ... green carpet removed! 

Today would have been mom‘s 99th birthday, one which we all felt she would attain. You are lovingly remembered and missed every day mom. 😢 

Finally this afternoon I had a few minutes and Sue had a few minutes so we had a chat. It seems that text messaging is the majority of our communication nowadays. Actually, I like text messaging. It’s so simple to answer when you get a minute to keep up with each other‘s lives. She’s been busy helping people find their missing dogs. 

There was a strong thunderstorm in Pompano while I was talking to Sue. The call dropped once! 

In mid-May they will be heading to Canada for the summer. As you know, Mark and I have decided to have a summer primarily at home, but with a few RV trips to the mountains of Georgia and North Carolina. Mark will be working across the street a few hours a week on the project house plus, we will be keeping an eye on Lew and Lynn’s place while enjoying their gorgeous pool and patio. Summer 2019 we will try to make it a BIG RV trip again. 

The Leesburg Bikefest is on and Kris and Diane have gone to show off their projects.
