Good afternoon. It’s been a little bit busy around here lately. Hectic even. Yesterday afternoon we went boating with Wayne and LaDonna on their new fiesta family fish pontoon boat. They are really enjoying it and had Wayne‘s brother out with them the day before. Anyway, they picked us up at our dock and we went to the crazy gator for late lunch.

Lake Eustis was nearly flat, and a beautiful afternoon ride. Back home, we sat on the front porch with wine and the guys smoke cigars. It was a great evening.

Randy and Dawn have been entertaining family this weekend for Mother’s Day. Dawn‘s mom Jan is in town until the end of May. Today, they have all the family over for dinner.

Sue and Wayne had a couple of nights RVing locally. They are back home now, having had a chance to visit with a friend in the area. BTW, there’ll be no more fun times wesring Alan’s hat!

Wayne modeling ... Sue sold it and donated the proceeds to “the cat lady.” Nice!

Today, Mark and I are working on eBay listings for Markymark and Lani and then seeing Karen and Pete this evening.

Good morning. We are back to our usual lovely weather pattern; the terrific heat of the past 2 days has dissipated. It’s going to be a busy day around here. There’s eBay listings, Bowling, and happy hour/dinner with Karen & Pete. (Karen is buying two of my paintings! Ca-ching.) 😊

Good morning. It’s another brutally hot start to our day. Yesterday set a record for heat on that date. Some areas of Florida were mid 90s and beyond. We went to swim yesterday and for a 530 happy hour with Lani and Markymark. Lani wanted to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. They had some nice snacks out and we drink wine and swim in the pool. Their pool is so cool, they have bubblers at the bottom that create a feeling of being in a spring. It was a great evening.

Today, I am hosting the first game day in 14 months. I think I will have a good turn out, but everyone must’ve had their COVID19 vaccine. There are a couple that usually attend that will not be for that reason.

Now going on 7 o’clock, and the girls have all gone and everything is tidied up and sanitized again. We had a wonderful time, attendees were Nancy, Mary, Cheri, Carin, Suzanne, Anita, Pat, Rose, Deenna, Elaine and me. It was like old times. Having had the vaccine really makes a difference.

After we finished playing games Nancy asked me to show Mary one of the big paintings I had done over her mom’s old artwork. She loved it, and took it home with her. 👍🏻

That was our day!

Randy phoned. He’s at home as ordered by the doctor just to take it easy and let his hand heal. Jan was doing some knitting and Dawn is at work. Tomorrow Dawn and her mom go for bingo but Randy Hass to miss all the fun and stay home, Dr.‘s orders. Ta tactil tomorrow.

Good morning! I’m painting ... this week is an almond tree. It’s fun and relaxing at the same time ... another thing I’d never have thought to paint.

Mark’s been patching/fixing a stucco bit on our house by the hose bib. The next step is to stucco the patch and paint it.

Tonight we’re picking up ribs at Oakwood and having dinner at the L’s. Playing marbles is planned too.

It’s now going on 11 o’clock and we are home from a fun evening. We picked up the ribs for dinner, ate, had drinks, played two games of marbles and smoke cigars on their front porch. It was a beautiful evening, lots of sheet lightning after a very hot day.

The Scotty’s had a good time and made themselves quite at home at Wayne and LaDonna ‘s.

Mz Bee made herself at home on LaDonna’s bean bag.

Robbie played humpy several times, as he has toys at their house.

My poor boy, he’s missing his mustache and beard, and his skirt. Well, it will all eventually grow back.

That’s it for this evening, Tata till tomorrow.

Good morning. The sun is just coming up over the trees and it’s going to be a hot May day. Oklahoma and many of the Midwest states had tornadoes overnight, 33 of them. We are lucky that we only deal with excessive heat from time to time. The humidity is building, so today will feel very hot to us. Never mind spring, hello summer. Ha ha.

This morning I am going for routine bloodwork, and then we are both going for breakfast. That’s something we don’t usually do, at least not in the last year. COVID19 really changed a lot of habits, didn’t it.

I was up early this morning and listened to my art course and I’m now ready to begin painting. This one looks like a lot of fun, a take on a Van Gogh.

At 4 o’clock we took a break and went to Markymark‘s for a swim in his pool. He was busy, so it was just Mark and I and his two dogs. It was a hot day, and the pool was 83°. It will be drained soon and refinished. That’s one of the last big jobs to be done there.

Good morning. It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny day here in Central Florida. We are getting a bit later start than usual after having had fun at Pat and Ken’s derby party yesterday. We didn’t win any of the pots, but certainly had some fun.
