Monday, September 3, 2018

Good morning. It was a beautiful start to our day with rain forecast later on. We are sure happy to be living in Central Florida! Years ago, before buying here, we looked at property on the coast, Cocoa Beach. Life is so much simpler here living on freshwater lakes. Our forecast today is a high of 88 and a low of 75, not too shabby. 😃

Mark got up at 6 o’clock and began cutting a tree down across the street. It was one that had grown in an odd shape due to overcrowding. Marky-Mark wanted it gone. Presto! I looked out the window at 8:30 and a good majority of that tree is down and bundled at the curb. Since Mark is working alone, it’ll take a few more days to get it all done. (It’s all down WOWSA ... just a stump left! 😲)

Later today, we’re invited to join a Labor Day party in Larry’s community. It’s a potluck, and he’s made three dishes to take to cover us all. Very generous. It’s an indoor party so the forecast of rain at 5 o’clock won’t bother us. It’ll be nice to see his place which he’s been remodeling since March. 

Well, Mark and I went to the Shangri-La Labor Day party. It was a potluck dinner followed by card bingo. I’ve never seen this played before and it was fun! Each group of four people got a deck of cards and dealt 13 cards per person, (the entire deck.) The caller shuffled the cards and then turned them up one at a time just like a bingo game. Well, Mark won twice, in a row. Ha ha ha. He won a few bucks! It was hilarious as he was supposed to yell “Bingo” but didn’t ... so I yelled (oh yeah! HE WON HE WON HE WON!!!) 😂 OMG I had a blast. 

Afterwards, we went back to Larry‘s and had a drink and met a couple of his local friends. It was a fun evening. When we got home, we gave the dogs a frosty paws and sat on the front porch with a nightcap. What a great Labor Day it was. 

We found Randy & Dawn and unfortunately Randy is still in a lot of pain. Tomorrow is therapy for him at 2:30 so we hope he will get more “bendie!” 😱 tomorrow evening, we are going to Oakwood smokehouse for $11.99 full-rack ribs with Rose & Jim. Hopefully, Randy & Dawn will be able to join us. ❤️
