Good evening! Where have the days gone? Friday was Fun Bowl with our usual bowling friends minus RanDawn. Thursday afternoon Dawn had an accident at work between her hand and a door jamb. Friday was her usual day off, so they skipped bowling in favor of letting it heal. We spoke to them today, and she’s doing fine.

Yesterday, Mark and I went to Sue and Wayne’s houses and did some moving. We got the big barbecue moved, Wayne’s desk, the file cabinet, and a wicker display chest. More packing was done and the day disappeared quickly.

Last night we met Kim Bob, and had a swim in their pool. It was a beautiful evening and as usual with them lots of laughs. Mark’s birthday was celebrated with a nice bottle of crown and some fancy cigars. He and Bob enjoyed a smoke on the porch while Kim and I swam. Coming home at 9:30. Mark didn’t realize that he had Bob’s flip-flops on instead of his own. Bob sent a text this morning. They had some funny sayings about it … the new word is whopper-flopper. 🤣 You had to be there. 

Haha. 

Ta ta til tomorrow!

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 morning. And, happy birthday to LaDonna who we will celebrate with later in the month.  🥳🥰

Saturday, we worked at the K’s house getting things unpacked and organized. The garage is emptied, or almost. While Mark was there loading up some boxes a Realtor came in to show the house. 

Sunday, we both relaxed, napped and went in the pool. We’re rewatching The Expanse … found we’d missed an episode or two. 😝 

A few pics from cousin Lyn and Tony’s 60th wedding anniversary luncheon. 

Debbie made this gorgeous cake!

Meanwhile, back here in Florida, we bowled today. It was against a “bye” which means we won’t know until next week whether we won or lost. Oh, well, we certainly had fun.

Speaking of fun …

Look who’s photobombing me. 😂

Tonight, we met at Applebee’s with Nancy, Linda, Jerry, Steve, and Lynn. Dinner was great, and we had a couple of rounds of drinks. On the way out, I met a movie star.  🤩

Good afternoon! Wow, it really rained … like 7” in a few hours. We were in the bowling alley at our Friday fun bowl with friends. 

Lessons are paying off for me in consistency! I’m pleased with my progress. 

Nancy and I went to our 4 o’clock lesson with Rich and both struggled to get it. 😝 So it goes. I had arranged a double lesson for Mark for his birthday and he arrived as we were finishing up. 🎳 

That was our day in a nutshell. Hope yours was epic.

It’s evening already! Happy birthday Mark! 🥳🥂🍾❤️🎶💋 The Facebook post and phone calls made Mark’s birthday special. So many wonderful posts, phone calls and texts. 

It was YaYa’s tonight at Laurie’s … and we had so much fun. 

It was a big turnout for summertime! 

Overseas, cousins Lynn and Tony celebrated their Diamond Anniversary with congratulations from King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla. 

🥳🥂🍾

That’s it for today. Ta ta.

Good morning. It’s Wednesday, hump day! I hope you have all enjoyed a happy long weekend. The fireworks last night were nearby, but it didn’t keep Robbie nor Balise awake. They were at the K’s new house with us for two days “helping.” Actually, they were very good and just tried to stay out of the way. Robbie found a corner in the dining room and had a great sleep. Bee was annoyed and anxious when Mark was changing the alarm code, because it would beep with various sounds, as he push the buttons. Anyway, the kitchen, other than food items is put together.

Quite the kitchen! This pots n pans rack slides in and over using the deep side cabinet. (Ingenuity indeed!)

Today we are bowling with Nancy. Randy and Dawn expected to have the girls today and may bring them bowling as well. We shall see they had a choice of that or a new movie that’s just out.

Happy Canada Day everyone! Our local town is celebrating the 4th of July tonight … fireworks 💥 going off now. With 3 towns around the chain of lakes there’ll be celebrations all weekend. Our Scotties are indifferent to them just like we are. 🤷‍♀️

Yesterday’s Fun Bowl was, well, fun! RanDawn were there plus Nancy, Lynn, Steve and Dan. We all won a little money and had a good afternoon! Mark went home for the kids while Nancy and I went to our bowling lesson. Rich worked us hard … lots of tweaks to our ball delivery. It was good! We came home tired.

We celebrated Dawn’s birthday 🥳 with dinner at PizzAmore in Mount Dora. 

It was delicious! We had different dishes and all were happy with our choices. Mark and I took the scenic ride home around the lakes. It was a beautiful evening!
