Good morning! Hey, I snuck off to bed at 9:36 last night and slept til 3:10. I was aiming for 8 hours ... 🤷‍♀️ ... guess I should have checked my crystal ball 🔮. 😜

Sue and Wayne had our cousins out to breakfast this morning in Pompano Beach where it was sunny and 80F. 

That’s a perfect way to start the day and wind-up their Florida visit. ✈️ It’s been grand having them here! ❤️ Apparently, they had a big shopping day! 

We met RanDawn at Stavros for our Sunday night dinner! 

Donnie entertained us with his flight story.  ✈️ 

1. On the bus from Newburyport to Boston; Donnie forgot his “flipper tooth.” 🦷 

2. The flight from Boston had to emergency land in Raleigh NC for a blocked toilet. The layover was 5 hours while the toilet was fixed ... a blanket had been flushed and clogged the system. 

3. Donnie saw his black Tercel Uber ride pull up. He said “Malcolm?” The driver said yes, loaded up Donnie’s baggage and they took off. Then trouble began ... the driver had a different destination! Eeerk. The trunk popped open and Donnie was left standing at the curb with his baggage! (He’d jumped into the wrong Uber!!!)  So, he trudged back from gate 20 to 30 and found another black Tercel ... “Malcolm? Are YOU Malcolm? By the time Donnie was on the way, everyone was already at The Hideaway so an address change wss needed ... finally, Donnie was dropped off at the bar! Haha. What a trip. 

Last night, Donnie turned out the light and got into bed and  banged his head on the table ... Mark has now put a foam bumper on the desk edge! 

The cut is beside his eyebrow! Poor guy. 

Tonight, Sue and Wayne took the gang to Bella Roma for Italian before their Uber to the airport. 

Great picture! That restaurant is a favorite of ours! Safe travels!

Hello 👋 ... what’s up at your house! We’ve been puttering about today getting the house ready for a partay tonight. It was cleaning day anyway. 🤷‍♀️ So, tonight we’re meeting at the Crazy Gator for fish fry then coming here for champagne (Karen & Pete’s 43rd Anniversary) and Key Lime pie. RanDawn are joining us for Mexican Dominoes night. 

So I have a funny story for you regarding the US/Canada border. When Lani and Marky-Mark came across last week, an officer questioned them. He asked “what’s in the car topper?” Marky Mark swallowed and got ready to pull over and get searched when Lani leaned across the seat and said “oh, it’s my father.” OMG! Marky-Mark laughed and said to Lani “he asked what’s in the car topper!” (not the reason for our trip.) Well, by this time all three of them were laughing. Anyway, they got through customs with no further incident and spent the next hour laughing about it. 

Well, Randy it’s not feeling very well after his therapy so they are going to skip dinner and just come over for dominoes after he’s had a rest.

The Crazy Gator has new furniture! Yay! Dinner was very good ... then we were off to play dominoes!

Randy & Dawn arrived and played nearly the whole game. Poor Randy was not feeling good tonight, very nauseous and sore. Played as long as he could. Karen & Pete stayed and finished out the game, lots of laughs.

It was a good evening!

Sue and Wayne were at a dog party tonight at a new “cottage” ... and we bet it is gorgeous.
