Good morning. I had a restless night thinking of all the things I needed to do before the girls came for game day at 1 o’clock. Now it’s nearly 730 and what am I doing? … sitting drinking coffee. Ha ha

Good news this week through the Biden administration and to former President Obama for explaining it all in understandable language. 

🥰

After breakfast I got organized for game day! Mark will run errands this afternoon before his doctor appointment. 

It was a good game day, with 12 in attendance. One table played chasing marbles and the other played Rummicube. It was a good day! I’m worn out. 😅

Happy birthday dear Hailey 🥳🎂🥰 … hope you’ll have a great day celebrating. 

It’s back to school in 2 days for the Florida kids. 

Today’s job here was getting new homeowners insurance signed and paid. Yes! We saved money! Whew. While I was on the phone, Mark puttered about tidying up the end of our canal … then took the kids for a ride on The Caddy. 🐾

It was a nice day. We did a little shopping this morning … HobLob and Wally. That’s been our day.

Good afternoon. Well, we thought it was going to be a quiet Sunday with maybe a swim later until we got a text from KimBob inviting us to lunch with them. They picked us up at 11:30, and of course we had a fun time. We went to Hurricanes in Tavares! KimBob had been away scalloping for a week with family and had tales to tell. The woman entertaining was a rocker singing the Rolling Stones! Very enjoyable! 

So that was today. 

Last night we had dinner and drinks at the Dog House so we’ve burned the candle at both ends. 😅

Tonight we had dinner and drinks at Tavares Dog House where Rob Nichols was entertaining. 

It was a fun night! The food was worth waiting for. There was a nice crowd there … lots of people watching. 

Hangin’ with our peeps … 

Ha! Laughed at this sign.

Good evening from sunny Central Florida. We’ve just had our evening walk ahead of the rain. It was a nice day … not too hot. 

I puttered on a palm pod mask … lots to do yet; Mark went shopping for pizza ingredients. 

It’s a riced cauliflower crust baked first … then toppings added. Truly experimental … turned out pretty tasty! Good job Mark. 

Did I mention our homeowners insurance more than doubled this renewal?  117% increase is ridiculous. So … we had a four-point inspection today and have a plied for insurance from another company. We shall see.

Good morning sunshine! Mark was up early … apparently I was running in my sleep. 😂 It must have been fun as I can’t run since knee surgery. 🤨

Randy phoned last night. They’re thinking of bowling today … and we’ll join in the fun if they do. Makenna and Charlotte had a sleepover last night. 

Our granddaughter Hailey has a 15th birthday this month. Here in Florida she can get a beginner permit. I’m thinking a few lessons might just be the thing. We’ll see what Matt thinks. 

Randy and Dawn were going bowling today with Charlotte and Makenna . So, we tagged along and had some fun. Mark bowled really well … me, very bad. 😳

Good morning. It seems I haven’t blocked for a day or two, been a little busy around here. Yesterday, we went to K’s and did a few little projects. 

Then, we went to a shower door store, and got a crazy quote for a shower door. Heck, I’ve bought cars for less money. 😂

One of the projects was to put a Gila film on the garage window. it’s kind of expensive, but blocks the heat of the sun and gives privacy but still allowing the light to come in. The toughest part was peeling the film to get it started. Yikes.  Mark was laughing at the before and after pictures, so the first one was the Polish version and the next one the American version. 😂

Yesterday morning we went and got our shingles shots. We go back again in two months for the second one. Fortunately, it was covered on our prescription benefits as the shot would be $220 otherwise.  

So after a delicious dinner, Mark and I sat on the front porch with the kids. We had some light rain and a nice cold downdraft. It dropped to 78° and we enjoyed drinks on the front porch. now, it’s 9 o’clock and time to watch ‘the secret of Skin walker Ranch.’ I tell you, it is the best show out there! Love those scientists.
