It’s going on 9 o’clock in the evening here, and I am finally getting a start on the blog. Mark was a little antsy today after sitting around trying to rest while his eye surgery heals. During the hurricane, our friend Nancy had a branch from her cypress tree crash into her family room roof. Mark went over to see if he could just remove the branch and cover the damage until her roofer could get to it on Monday.

Well, it turned out to be quite a hole! 

The branch was long! 

And the branch was 4 feet into the roof! 

What to do? Mark couldn’t leave the hole open! 

Voilà !!!

Duct tape and an old shower curtain! Nancy was so thankful for a little help she slipped a bottle of excellent Scotch into the golf cart. 

This evening, we met Sue and Wayne at Takis for a Greek dinner. It was fun to catch up on news from the cottage friends and who might be visiting over the winter season. We also heard Aurelia and Tony are planning a trip to Florida in their new motorhome this winter. 🤩  

Wayne & Sue want to host Christmas dinner this year! That will be very different for Mark and I as we have been hosting it for most of our married life! Sue is suggesting that we take our RV to “the horse park” for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Well, maybe 🤔 

Christmas came early in the way of very old Scottie bookends from Rick M. These beauties will have a place of honor in our house! Rick remembers them from his childhood home … 🐾🥰. I’m going to find the perfect spot for them here and post pictures tomorrow. What an amazing gift. ❤️

Good night all.
