Tuesday, May 29, 2018

Good morning ... we’re back to sunshine and the front door open! Our forecast is for 86F later. 

Mark was off to the dump with a load of tree debris from Marky-Mark’s property. Me? I painted the cement pelican that had been found at the bottom of his pool! It was pretty dirty looking, so I scrubbed it with a wire brush, sanded and primed it with Kilz ... then painted it with acrylic based on a Florida brown pelican’s coloring. 

Our dogs are still pretty tired after having an afternoon running around the pool and a swim lesson. I found another style of life preserver for them that may work better than a vest which gets too hot for them to wear continuously. Here it is ...





Great product! They come in all sizes for dogs up to 200 pounds! BeeZee and Robbie will have them for their next swim!

So we’ve been juggling pool water readings on Marky-Mark’s pool. Scott suggested we take a water sample to a pool service store and then found a Pinch-a-Penny in nearby Mt. Dora for us! Sweet. Mark and I took a drive and had the water tested. Who knew ... we needed to add a gallon of muriatic acid and follow up an hour later with 2 bags of pool shock. (It’s a 25,500 gallon pool!) In 4 days they will retest the water for free. πŸ‘πŸ» 

Diane phoned when she and Kris were in the area. They’d bought bait and were on the way back to Georgia Boys. Too bad we missed seeing them but we had a good gab. 

Friday night we’ve invited (RV club friends) over for wine and cheese then to Crazy Gators for fish fry. They’re really nice people; happy to get to know them better. 

Rummy began at 7:30 ... and what a duel. 🀨 I was ahead 5 to 95 when we extended the game to 150. A few drinks, some singing along to the oldies 😝 and I think I eventually won. Ha! Mark was just happy for the game to be over so he could watch TV.  πŸ˜‚

There was a revelation during the game! Mark poured me a DSO halfway through and the fizzy aroma was like, wait for it ... Christmas πŸŽ„ morning! Why? The first thing we girls ate Christmas Day was the tangerine 🍊 orange stuffed in the toe of our stocking! Finally, the addiction puzzle is solved! Ahhh, the aroma of orange. πŸ˜‹

Now it’s time for Deadliest Catch and Below Deck ... Ta Ta TIL tomorrow.
