Good evening. Yes, I’ve been slacking. Jim G emailed me to check why there was no blog yesterday. Actually, it’s been very busy around here with eBay sales. Anyway, yesterday we did manage a two hour boat ride with the dogs around Lake Eustis.

Robs and me … it was beautiful, cloudy with a good breeze. Later in the day it got into the high 80’s. 

Mz BeeZee had a seat to herself. 

Between all the eBay wrapping and shipping, Mark has been trimming the queen palm trees for hurricane season. Last week he did the IV in the front yard and this week four in the backyard. Two of the trees have gotten absolutely huge; the ones we started from seed at our home in Boca Raton 20 years ago. 

As you can see from his gesture, it’s not Mark’s favorite job. 😂

No complaints here on our weather but OMG the weather map for the US is very active. California has the summertime fire risks.

Yikes, eh? Sue has let us know that there have been fires up around the lake area and that it has been pretty hot and dry. Of course they are still in quarantine but able to sit on the dock on their own property tonight.

Shorty Hotpants and Cheeky Monkey are lucky pups! The weather looks great. 

This afternoon while Mark was at the post office, UPS returning an item and fueling up I was at game day with a dozen of the local girls. It was a fun afternoon at Trina’s … Pat, Sharon, Patricia, Anita and I played Phase 10, a card game like Crazy Rummy. It was a few hands before we got everyone onto the rules again. Cheri opened champagne and we toasted being able to get together again! Fun times. 

So that’s it for today. At the moment it’s still 90° and we are waiting for it to cool down before going for a walk with the kids. (It was beautiful for our walk.)
