Good morning. It’s been a busy few days around our house. Sunday evening we took ourselves to Stavros after having spent a day puttering around the house. It’s fall y’all.  🍁 That means fall cleaning around our house.

Yesterday, we tackled the windows. I cleaned the inside, and Mark washed the outside! We have enough windows with our huge Sunroom! The sun shines even brighter through our now clean glass.

We have several family events coming up in the next two weeks. Mark and I will be celebrating our 29th anniversary tomorrow; Sue’s birthday on 1st of November, Randy and Dawn‘s seventh anniversary on November 9 and Matt’s 35th birthday on the 10th. Wow! That’s a lot of cake ‘n candles! 

Beside those fun events, we’re going to our longtime friend Sharon’s wedding! I’d say at our age, we don’t go to many weddings, but this will be the second one this year. Last May, Lynn married Steve. Love ❤️ is in the air. 

Monday’s bowling was, as usual, plenty of fun. We played the number one team from the summer league and were able to win one game. So, today our team is practicing! Our teammate. Linda is back with us after dental surgery. It just didn’t feel right not having our full team for the first two weeks. As I’ve mentioned before, if we don’t make our average each game of competition, we throw a dollar in the pot towards a pizza. Well, on Monday, I threw two dollars in the pot, Mark and Nancy, one dollar each and Linda two dollars.  Yeah, will be eating a lot of pizza if we continue this. 🍕 Ha ha ha 

Yesterday we took Robbie and BeeZee to see Dr. Wilson to go over their recent bloodwork and Rob’s ultrasound report.  Mark and I had questions about some readings. Everything is very good with both of them and Doc is happy with their results. I was saying that Rob’s hearing had diminished to only responding to my whistle. Well, the assistant Tracie was holding Robbie on the table facing her. Dr. Wilson picked up the bag of treats from 4 feet away behind his back. The gigs up Robbie! He heard that wrapper and turned his head around so fast. We all had to laugh. 

Diagnosis… Robbie has SELECTIVE HEARING.  🐾😂

Yesterday she was shopping around for some bedroom lamps and found some that are just perfect!

The intricate cutout of palms is so tropical. 🥰

That’s it for today. Seize the day.

Good morning. It seems like quite a while since I’ve had a few minutes to start the blog in the morning. I always expect a quiet summer, but it never quite works out that way. Ha ha. We are so happy to have discovery bowling and a whole new outlet for our energy. we have met so many interesting people from different walks of life, most of them retired and able to enjoy activities during the day. However, that does not mean that the laundry and the watering of the plants and the regular chores don’t still need to be done. Ha ha ha. Mark has just gone out to fuel up the car for tonight’s adventure. 

We went to Sawgrass Grove, a newer area of the villages to see Alan Darcy. There were hundreds of people there, and it was a very lovely, cool evening. There was a good breeze and 80. Judging by the crowd and the number of dancers, I’d say Alan and Scott were a big hit. Of course we knew they would be, having watched their careers skyrocket.

After we left Sawgrass Grove Square, we went to home goods nearby. Well, the GPS took us all the way around and it was nearly 45 minutes to get there. Anyway, we had just enough time to make a sweep of the store and pick up a couple of things. Then it was off home for the doggies. 

Randy and Dawn phoned while we were watching the show. We will see them Friday at fun bowl. We really do have such a fun time together.

Good afternoon. We’re sitting outside the post office waiting for the rain to let up. We finally have a few eBay things selling again. It’s odd how eBay sales goes in fits and starts. Anyway, yesterday we worked at the K’s house packing up at one house and delivering to the other. We are getting somewhere. Ha ha. We have the big wall unit to pack up and the dining room china. Otherwise, most things will wait until the one house is sold. We don’t want to move the furniture until there’s a buyer. Homes generally show better with furniture in place.

Today is a relaxing one. Overall, just going to run a few errands. Tomorrow is fun bowl with Nancy and our bowling alley friends. Randy and Dawn may join us.

Well, it turns out that Dawn injured her hand at work. Fortunately, she’s off for the next few days, but will be unable to bowl with us tomorrow.  

Apparently, Wayne is at Heather and Bruce’s for a dinner party. Sue has a cold, so she opted out.  

Watching Skinwalker Ranch is now mind expanding! 

Ya gotta watch it! Wow. 

That’s the news for now. Ta ta.

Good early morning! Blah ... I’m going back to bed.

It’s nearly 6 o’clock this evening and we’ve had a busy day. We tidied the RV and prepped it for another January trip later in the month. After that, we drop it off at GRW for revisions. 

It was a paperwork day for me along with gathering tax records and creating our 2019 budget. Our budget looks like the Federal one ... it doesn’t balance. 😬 Ha! 

Mark cleaned the RV roof and slides and tomorrow, after more washing, we’ll back it into the port. (He plans to hunt this weekend and wants his slate clean.) 

My motivation to get things in order is to redecorate my trees for next Christmas. Ha ha ha ... Oh oh oh ... Ho Ho Ho. 

I was able to book our south Florida RV trip for the end of March. We’re spending 3 nights at John Prince and will visit Matt and family ... then 4 nights at Markham park. 

Tonight we’re having Gumbo that RanDawn brought us from their November Charleston trip. Mark sauteed onions and sausages and added them to the mix. It sure smells delicious.
