Good evening. We were up fairly early and over to Pat and Ken‘s to tidy up their screen room before they arrive home tomorrow. Mark brushed the pool while I checked the chemicals. Bob is going over later to backwash the sand filter. It sure has been nice enjoying their pool for six weeks. We’re spoiled! 

Maintenance time! 

Yesterday, we had a fun but busy day! We met Randy and Dawn at the bowling alley and played two games. We sure had a lot of laughs. On Wednesdays it’s $1.50 a game … you just can’t beat that price for entertainment. 🎳 Today I ordered new bowling shoes for Mark as his are starting to dry rot and he needed a half size smaller! We’ve both lost 25 lbs … now my bowling ball is very loose. We put some tape in the finger holes but I was still dropping it. 😂 (Bowling backwards!) 🙃  I called the bowling alley today to find out what it would cost to drill it and put in finger tips. $75 they quoted! Heck I can buy a new ball on Amazon for that price … so that’s what I did! Woohooo. 

And last night, we went to a new restaurant in downtown Eustis called brick and barrel. Just the bar area is open, but the service was very good, food excellent and the place was packed. That’s a good sign for the official opening early next month. They will open the front portion of the restaurant. (It was ‘friends night out’, but only seven of us there as Deenna and Eddie are traveling as are Pat and Ken.  Next month we’re going to LaPalma for FNO. 🥘 

It’s evening, after sitting on the front porch for an hour, we took the kids for a golf cart ride. We had rain this afternoon and it caught us off into the mid 70s. It was really nice. 

Sue and Wayne are going to Bruce and Heather’s for dinner tonight. They’ve had more rain in their area, just what they don’t need this year with the continuing high water.
