Good Monday morning! It’s two days til SwimSpa delivery! Our screen guys will be here sometime today to do the upper portion along the house wall. 🀞

And today’s league bowling 🎳. Linda prebowled last Friday as she’s at the dentist. It’s up to Nancy, Mark and me to win the games today! Rah rah, We Can Do It! 



Yup, these are our team shirts! Rosie’s Rollers. 

When we got home from bowling, I saw that they had done quite a bit of work before calling it a day. 



More tomorrow!

Good evening! It’s been a putter about the house day until 4 o’clock when we went to Nancy’s for pizzas on her porch. The breeze off the lake was gorgeous! 

Nancy had Pat and Ken plus Linda (bowling) and Gerry too. We had plenty of stories from seafaring Maine to horse racing Kentucky. It was most enjoyable! 

The pizzas came from downtown Eustis, somewhere new for us to explore. They had a nice crust. Pat brought salad fixin’s and Nancy poured Smirnoff Kissed Caramel vodka on ice for dessert. Yum. 


Our table at Lynn and Steve’s reception yesterday. 

Back home we took the kids for a ride on the golf cart. They sure enjoy it! 

Tomorrow our screen installers will begin the work. It’s a bit exciting … and expensive. Yikes. Oh well. 

Robbie’s in trouble with Mark tonight. He was clipping a sticker or burr from between his paw pads when Robs snapped and caught Mark’s thumb joint. Ouch. The scissors went one direction and the dog the other. 😳

That’s our day. It’s American Idol now. Ta ta.

Good evening!  It’s Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate with a Margarita like half the USA today. Cheers!



Today we met Nancy and Linda for Fun Bowl. Both of them bowled well today! Nancy’s high was 160! And Linda’s was 164! Our team is coming together again. 🎳 It was a great afternoon and everyone in our group won a little cash. Both Linda and Mark had chances at $65 and $45 but … missed the shots. Next time maybe. 🀞

After our Mexican dinner, we sat on the front porch while the Scotties worked on peanut butter pretzel ice cream cups. Publix carries them plus their favorite “Eeee Eeee” toys. 



It was a fun time for them. THEN the new Giggle Ball arrived from Amazon and BeeZee went crazy chasing it. Robbie just waits for treats to fly out. πŸ˜‚



Our sweet boy πŸΎπŸ˜‚

We FaceTimed Rick tonight … just home from the hospital at noon! Ruth made him fish n chips for lunch and we caught him resting. Wishing you a comfortable night Rick. Keep that knee moving!

Sue and Wayne went out for dinner with neighbors tonight to the Nancy Lopez country club. It was very nice Sue said. 

Randy and Dawn picked up Dawn‘s mom at the airport today. She’s here for a months visit.  We will make a point of meeting them for dinner. 

That’s it for today!

Good evening.  We’ve had a couple busy days around here! πŸ˜‚

Tuesday night we met up with Sue & Wayne at the square and had dinner at Amerikanos. Wayno and LaDonna joined the fun. The evening was beautiful. Our friend Nancy let the kids out at 6:30 and visited with them for awhile. It was so nice we didn’t have to rush. 

Today Kim and I had mani-pedi appointments. Usually it’s a quiet time to chat and relax but today was different. I had a new girl who was very chatty. We learned many cultural things and pretty much her life story. 😳 Kim said that she darned not look at me or she would have laughed. πŸ˜‚ The girl did a beautiful job by the way. We I got home it was time for YaYa’s at Cheri’s! 

Mark decided to wash and clean the Kia today! It looks so fresh. πŸ₯° Soon the big Swim Spa project will be done and we can enjoy it. 

Our pal Rick had his knee replacement surgery yesterday! It was a long wait … but it’s done! 



It’s painful for the first week; Nurse Ruth will be busy. 

That’s the news for today!

Good morning! It’s just another brilliantly sunny day in Central Florida. We love the moderate seasonal changes here, well compared with South Florida. 



Today’s a busy one. Our lawn service is here roaring about with blowers and edgers; then it’s dermatologist appointments for us both; hopefully just checkups! 

Tonight we’re going out for dinner with friends and family. Nancy’s popping in for her dog fix. 

A bit of humor …

Sue shared a post from friends in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ …



ALMOST cuddly. But not. πŸ˜‚

In my humble opinion the world lost a talented artist yesterday, May 1st. Gordon Lightfoot. 
Amen

Good morning, and happy May Day! πŸ’ Here in Central Florida, it’s just another day in paradise. Actually, we just went through four or five days of cloudy, windy, stormy weather. So, we too are glad to see May 1 when we turned the calendar.  How many of you actually use a wall calendar nowadays? We still do, but I know many use their phones we like a complete visual, but, even with that we missed our dental appointments this morning. Oh, dear, first off, we never make an appointment for a Monday morning because it’s bowling day, and, it wasn’t written down. That makes us wonder if we got a card when we left the dentist office last time usually I have the card taped on the calendar. Anyway, we are rescheduled. 

We had a few eBay sales this weekend, so Mark is off to the post office to drop them. Our new auto insurance policies start today and actually include the golf cart now. It was only $70 a year with a zero deductible for it. Since Kia‘s have been the number one stolen vehicle, most recently, we were lucky to find an insurance rate that hadn’t jacked it up for that reason. Now we have an appointment with Kia to have a update to the software to prevent theft. We hope that will be enough to stop the rise in rates when we renew in six months. That seems to be the latest thing, only insuring for six months at a time.  Whatever.   

We are pretty much ready for the screening company to begin work tomorrow.

So today’s bowling was a tough one for us. We had some very good competition, but bottom line was all four of us. Just did not meet our potential. Ha ha ha. We sucked. So tonight, we went with Nancy to Applebee’s for burgers and wine. Whine! Anyhow πŸŽ³πŸ˜‚ it was a fun day!!! Now we are home to watch American Idol. 

Sue and Wayne are meeting Diane and Kris tonight for their burger night in the villages.
