Happy St. Patrick’s Day, 2024

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ 

It’s a good day for beginning a floral painting! I haven’t had any quiet time lately that was without commitments or chores about the house.

Yesterday, we took a ride to The Villages for coffee and a visit at Sue & Wayne’s. It was a bit sad without Shorty greeting us at the door. Chiki and Mimi were a little subdued. Life goes on and we had some laughs around the kitchen table with Mark’s story about “Loopy.”

Sue and Wayne were going to Costa Del Mar last night and to listen to the music in Spanish Springs Square. 

Back home, we poured a happy hour drink and went in the pool for an hour. It was a nice evening, very relaxing.  

Last Friday we took the dogs and went for a long boat ride across Lake Eustis, and down to the Fishcamp, cruising along the shoreline. It was the most spectacular day, weatherwise! The past winter has been quite windy, unusual for this area. Anyway, spring is just around the corner, and everything is in bloom in our yard.

Friday’s cruise aboard Mrs. R B … Robbie sat with Mark for 2 hours! Both Scotties enjoy a boat ride. 

Of course, we’ve enjoyed our bowling, winning three games last Monday and bowling quite well on Fridays fun bowl. We have now clawed our way up to 13 on the league. That’s a far cry from last year when we were in first place. 😂 

Last Saturday we had a wonderful dinner with Randy and Dawn and Bob and Jill. It was so much fun catching up and having a lot of laughs. Rob and Belize came with us and had some fun sniffing around the porch for lizards. 

Bob and Jill are off on a 10 day cruise now.

Happy birthday, Wayne! 

Lunch at Flanigan’s and some lotto tickets from Sue! 

Tonight’s YaYa’s at Nancy S on the lake! I’ll get a puc to add later on. Mark’s meeting the guys for dinner in Eustis tonight. The kids … well they had their golf cart ride this lovely afternoon! 

L-R Carin, Nancy S., Trina, Pam, Denine, Deenna, Moi, Rose, Kristine, Lynn, Pat …gorgeous evening with all the doors open to Lake Eustis and the city lights across the water. 

Last night we played Catan Pirates and Explorers at Lynn & Steve’s til 9 o’clock. Lynn finally won a game! (Steve hasn’t yet although he was in the lead for much of the game.) It’s complicated … Mark and I prefer playing regular Catan. 🤷‍♀️

Monday’s league bowling was good. Mark scored a 224 and me a 202 in one of the games. We won 3 out of 4 and moved up the ranks. 

Sunday March 3rd. 2024

Good morning! We had quite the drenching last night! Thunderstorms!

It’s been a usual time lately with bowling and household stuff around here. 

Yesterday was a rough one for the K’s because of the passing of Shorty Hot Pants after a 2 year kidney function decline. 

As if that wasn’t sad enough, our friend Angie Wills succumbed to cancer after a long battle. Her son Michael was Angie’s support who took excellent care of her. 

So, our thoughts are with our family and friends today.

Yesterday, we saw Randy, Dawn, and friends from Canada, Bob and Jill for lunch. It was good catching up with them and we will see them again before Bob and Jill leave on a cruise.
