Tuesday, October 2, 2018


Good afternoon. It’s been a bit of a crazy day as Rob is here working on the boat and I invited Rose & Jim to play dominoes tonight. Since Rose’s birthday is Thursday, and we’re busy tomorrow, I decided to bake a cake for her. The cake is out of the oven awaiting icing, Mark is out running errands and the mechanic is scratching his head; the solenoid did not fix the problem. So, it’s just another day in paradise. 😎🌴

$345 seals the deal. Ha ha. Rob kept working on it until he found the problem. It was painted connection wires at the ignition switch. It wasn’t making good contact. Anyway, we now have a new solenoid and it’s running. πŸ‘πŸ» While I was talking to Rob, he mentioned eating at Palm Gardens on the Dead River. I said we ate there Wednesdays as they have a good barbecue steak deal. Then conversation turned to a manatee that he saw there last year! (We’ve been told there are manatees in the lake, but have never seen one ourselves.) Rob said it was very odd because the manatee had a buoy tied to its tail. That was very bizarre! 

Rose and Jim came over at 6:30 to play Mexican dominoes with us. Rose was surprised that I had baked her a chocolate cake, their favorite, for her birthday. Of course we had to sing to her. 🎢 Ha ha. 


Fun with friends ... Happy Birthday Rose! Mark was the eventual winner, and at one time I thought he might have made a new record. But, he got bamboozled towards the end. We had lots of laughs, a little wine, and some cake. What a fun night.

Tomorrow night, we are meeting Randy & Dawn at the new pizza parlor in town.
