Good morning sunshine! It’s a fine start to May Day ... Derby Day ... and Par-Tay Day! Pat & Ken are hosting the annual derby party. 🐎 

The South Beach diet has helped us both drop 10 lbs.  It’s a bit like Atkins, easy to do. Thanks Rick M for mentioning it works for you.

Good evening. It’s been another fun day here in Central Florida where the sun always shines. Well, 90% of the time.

We had some eBay business to do this morning and for Mark, two trips to the post office. I discovered that I must use my computer for some of the eBay business as the mobile phone app doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. Who knew. At least this time, I got a helpful person at eBay.

At 2 o’clock we met Markymark and Lani at the bowling alley. Wayne and LaDonna came in a few minutes later, just to watch. Waynoe is still recovering from his February shoulder surgery and LaDonna has a sore elbow. Anyway, it was fun to have them there and we had tons of laughs.

Tweety bird helped me bowl a strike! LaDonna says Waynoe loves to play those games with the claw, and that’s what he won. Don’t turn your back buddy, Tweety might disappear. 

After our walk tonight, we settled in to watch some TV and have a quiet Friday night. Bye bye April. 

By the way, Robbie is doing much better with the ointment and antibiotic for the hotspot on his mouth.

Cute, eh!!! The first time he’s been able to lay and relax for a while. Yeah, both of them. Ha ha.

Good morning. We’re sitting at the vets, outside in the car with Robbie, waiting for a visit with Dr. Wilson. Robbie has had a sore on his mouth, opposite side where we had the surgery. We can’t see anything, but he lets us know somethings wrong when Mark washes his face. Hopefully, we will get some answer today.

We had a lot of fun last night at Nancy ‘s, enjoying the lake view and playing three rounds of chasing marbles.

Yesterday, Kris sent us a picture of Beau after his grooming at the villages doggie spa. He looks gorgeous.

This day disappeared in a moment. We were busy with eBay, plus I did a few hours on my large cottage painting. Mark was busy too. He trimmed a few trees, puttered around and cook dinner. After walking the dogs, Markymark and Lani came over and had drinks with us on the front porch. They are ready to list their Calla “1” house, and it should sell quickly.

Good afternoon. I was up early doing eBay listings and we had three sales today which took quite a bit of time as one of them needed special help from eBay. And, there isn’t any special help from eBay. Ha ha. Anyway, four packages in all have gone today. 

We did a little housework today and Mark gave the dog some haircuts. Poor Robbie is having more trouble with his mouth, and goes to see Dr. Wilson tomorrow. I don’t know what she can do, he won’t even let Mark look at it. One side is fine, the other side he just goes crazy. She may have to sedate him to have a look at it tomorrow.

After their baths, Mark took them for a nice long golf cart ride which they really enjoy. They are going to be home looking after the house tonight while we go to Nancy’s to play a game of chasing marbles.

Sue and Wayne are out tonight meeting a Winnipeg friend for dinner. I think perhaps she used to live in Winnipeg but doesn’t now because otherwise how could they be seeing her when the border is closed?

Mz BeeZee all pretty after her bath.

Good morning. I was up extra early and working on a painting. Mark managed to sleep in till after 8 o’clock when I put the dogs on the bed with him. Ha ha. BeeZee works her magic ... she rolls about. 

This is Consuela ... she niw resides at our bar area. 😂

When I talked to Diane last night she was feeling pretty good, the nerve block was obviously still working. Sue checked in with her this morning and she had a night with a lot of pain as to be expected. 

Kris phoned tonight and gave us an update. Diane is doing much better today and her little doggie is following her all around, not letting her out of his sight. The home healthcare nurse was in and helped them sort out the sling and the ice machine and remove the drain from her shoulder. We hope she will have a better night. 🥰

Dawn‘s mom has arrived and they were all having dinner when we checked in with them this evening. They bought her a boatload of lotto scratch off‘s.

Jan is going to have fun!!! We will get over to see her by this weekend.

This afternoon, Markymark brought over a few things to put on eBay to sell for him. It helps us, more people looking at our site even if they buy something that belongs to him. It’s a win-win. Anyway, Mark and I finished up that and then sat on the front porch with a drink for an hour. Life is good. And it feels good to make a little extra money now.

Today would’ve been mom’s birthday. We thought of her today, like we do every day. 🥰

Good morning. Mark is out doing the errands, buying cigars and wine plus a run to the post office while I catch up on the laundry and chores. At 11 o’clock I phoned Kris and found out that Diane is in the recovery room. He will give us call later on when he gets to see her. Good news! 

This afternoon, Mark and I went to the Crazy Gator for an early dinner. Wayne and LaDonna joined us having just dropped their granddaughter back home after an overnight stay. We had lots of fun at the restaurant, good food and good service. On the way home, we talked to our neighbor Linda who confirmed Wayne and LaDonna could keep their boat at her place. Then, Pat & Ken invited us all over for a drink. We went home, let the dogs out, had a visit with them and then went to Pat & Ken ‘s.

Good afternoon. It’s a cloudy day, but the rain has passed over and we are going for a boat ride with the dogs.

It was a beautiful afternoon. We took a ride to downtown Eustis to see what was going on with the bikers in town. Everything was all packed and tidied up with not a soul in sight. I hope they had a good weekend event! The Leesburg bike fest will be held in November this year, due to Covid. 

 

This afternoon we were both busy with eBay and other chores around the house. Tonight, we talked with Diane who is having shoulder replacement surgery tomorrow! Poor Kris ... he will be the one running the show while Diane recovers. The two little dogs are getting along very well now and little Beau is doing fine. He’s put on weight and is abiding by the rules in the house. Of course that meant they had to change some things to suit him. Ha ha. Kris had to re-design the yard as Beau only does his business on concrete! Belle, on the other hand, only goes on the grass. 🐾💕 Diane says it’s a real 🎪  🤡   😂 We wish her luck on surgery tomorrow, and the coming recovery.

We found a place in our neighborhood for LaDonna and Wayno to keep their boat. I talked to our friend and they can call her to make arrangements. I hope it works out. It would be much cleaner for the boat than being out in the open.

We had a few eBay sales today, two of our own, and two for Lynn. It’s nice to finally get a few sales after a year of almost nothing. Everyone has stimulus money to spend. YeeHaw. 

That’s it for today.
