Good afternoon. It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny afternoon here in Central Florida with a temperature of 88°F. We took the kids for a long golf cart ride and saw several neighbors out working in their flowerbeds. It was quite the beehive of activity. 💐 We stopped to talk to Nancy for a few minutes. She said our friends Pat and Ken will arrive home on Saturday from upstate New York. 

Spot the Scott … you can see a little of Robbie‘s beard behind us. 🐾🥰

This has been my style of gardening recently. I am into my plants lately. Everything old is new again. Ha ha, you see macramé plan hangers everywhere in the stores. It feels so 80s 😂  (Mark has been doing reverse gardening at the end of our canal. It had become very overgrown and had stopped the wind from keeping the water moving and clean.) 

Last night, we met Kim and Bob over at Pat and Ken‘s pool. We had some drinks and floated around in the water for a few hours. It was a balmy 87° in the pool. We didn’t bring the dogs with us last night as they had just had haircuts and baths. (I’m sure they were a little bit annoyed with us. 🐾) 

Robs relaxing after his haircut and bath yesterday. What a handsome guy! 

Cute haircuts eh! 

Diane posted a picture of Beau yesterday. He is looking so healthy! (I shared his picture online with aunt Jane’s family and they were all happy to see him looking so well.) 

Such a cute guy … king of his castle too! 🐾🥰 👑 

Pam phoned the other day and had been in New York visiting with Daniel and his family and Bob and his. Bob and Tracy were in the United States for summer vacation with their kids. This year they chose New York State and Texas for their visiting. We were happy to hear that Pam was able to fly there and see everyone.

I Our pal Rick called yesterday on FaceTime. He is back in BC from his annual fishing trip in Ontario and had a wonderful time. This year, however, the fish were too big ! What? It’s true … they weren’t keepers. Ruth had gone kayaking in the Broken Islands and was back from her summer trip. She too had a good time. Now they are planning to use their new motorhome for a short adventure trip, just the 2 of them. 

Congratulations 🥳 🥂 🍾  … safe travels! 

We phoned Matt this afternoon and caught up on their news. Of course the girls are back to school as of last week. Izzy likes her class and has made a new friend. Hailey and her friend Angelina are back to vet tech training. Tiffany had just gone to work. Everyone is doing well … we hope to visit them once Mark’s eye appointments are finished up. 

That’s all the catching up news!
