Good morning. We were up early, Mark and Wayno went to the woods hiking at 8 o’clock. I was up too, having some cleaning to do today. 

Happy Halloween everyone! 

It’s a breezy afternoon and a few leaves are starting to fall from our sycamore and sweet gum trees. We need a real cold snap to get them down; usually Thanksgiving! (That’s only 3 1/2 weeks away.) 

That’s my fuzzy wuzzy bear way up there! 

Wayno’s view of Mark …

and Mark’s view of 

Wayno! 

Treat or Trick? 

We dressed up along with Lani and Markymark and went out! Ha! Pat & Ken poured us a drink … then we popped in on Nancy and her Cincinnati company. We visited for an hour … then buzzed by Jim & Rose’s to leave a spooky pumpkin message on their Ring doorbell. 

It’s now 9 o’clock and we only saw one kid on the streets. Halloween isn’t what we remember. Sad.

Good evening! It’s been a busy few days around here, and in general a very busy month of October. Last night we had dinner at CJ‘s in downtown Eustis with LaDonna and Wayno! It was great, and the service very good. Thank you dear pals for a fun night! 🥂🍾❤️  We were still celebrating our wedding anniversary. After dinner, they came back here and we enjoyed the front porch and 64°F. Drinks and cigars were had, and the dogs enjoyed the company too.

This morning Mark was supposed to go hiking in the woods with Wayno, but he was under the weather. (Nothing to do with the Fireball Whisky ingested last night, but (he thought) from the booster shots they both got for COVID-19 yesterday.) it could have been, as LaDonna wasn’t feeling well today either. We know it wasn’t the food as Mark and I had what they ate, and we were fine.

Well I enjoy the morning a slapping paint on a canvas, Mark deliver the tiki bar to Randy. (He was in his side lot hitting golf balls into the net!) 

I see Mark is the first to try out the bar in its new location. 😂 It looks great! 

Nice!!! 

Tonight, after our walk with the dogs, we sat on the front porch with our portable blue stone fireplace. I was hoping for a real fire, but it was not to be tonight as football is on.  🙄 It’s 68 outside. 😂

Sue and Wayne are having a fun evening, attending this outdoor event at the pier. 

Fun stuff 🎃

Front porch … 1st fall fire …

Good afternoon! It’s a gorgeous day here in Central Florida. Mark was out early helping Markymark put up a fence at his Eustis rental house. I priced things for the upcoming garage sale … and I really cleared out our closets and nooks ‘n crannies. 

Tonight, LaDonna & Wayno are taking us out for dinner … celebrating our recent anniversary. Sweet, eh!

Good morning. Mark was up early and off to the dentist for an 8 o’clock appointment. He needed a crown done and was home by 10 o’clock. That was perfect for him as Wayne was picking him up to go to the shooting range. They are off to sight in their rifles.

Meanwhile, I handled the morning chores and then finished my painting, which I posted a picture of yesterday. I’d like it. It’s the best I could do at this time. I think I will go back to creating a few small ones and work on more techniques.

Today, the rain moved in. We had a heavy downpour around 930 and now the sky is just light gray. More rain is predicted later on. never mind, it will not dull the spirits of the witches and bitches gathering at Nancy’s today. This which is going to secretly wear her devil horns underneath my witches hat. Ha ha.

What’s under that stuffed hat??? Horns? 

What fun!!! Much laughter and shenanigans … then we played charades! More fun !!!

One pop drop me off at home, Lani and Markymark were on the front porch. Lani had on her Batman costume.  

More silly Halloween fun!!!

Mark had taco meat ready for over a salad for dinner, and it was delicious. No, it’s time to relax and watch football. 🏈

Good afternoon sunshine! It’s dentist day for us … cleanings done and scheduled for 6 months

It was a bit chilly this morning when I took the kids outside at 6. It was 64! High of 84 today, so perfect. 

We had our dental cleanings today, and Mark hast to go back tomorrow for a crown. One of his teeth has three cracks in it. What the heck has he been chewing on? 😂 

Well, it’s actually Thursday morning but I will finish the blog. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening on the front porch. Rain was moving in for today and you could feel it in the air. Mark chop down the crêpe myrtle tree that was in front of our porch. We will eventually extend that porch and the tree was in the way plus it was dropping purple berries on the driveway. Since he is working on refinishing the driveway, it was time to say bye-bye to the white crêpe myrtle tree.  🥲

This morning I finished my little yellow cottage painting, it’s actually quite a large painting and features high atmosphere cirrus clouds. Generally speaking, that means rain within 24 hours. Never mind, there are lots of flowers in this painting that will need a little water. LOL

It’s 24 x 30 … The largest one I’ve done for a while.  

Well, now I will start the actual Thursday blog. Ha ha.

27TH ANNIVERSARY

Hey hey hey … it’s our wedding anniversary! Cheers to us 🥂🍾❤️ 

We’re going to dine out to celebrate … big ol’ steaks for us! 

Well, it’s time to mention that the K’s are selling their Pompano Beach mansion. They’ll maintain a place in the area but also buy something up nearer us. Yay! We’re excited to have them closer! 

We had a good time at Texas Roadhouse … excellent service, and great steaks. Back home, we did some front porch sitting with Mark enjoying a cigar. 

Super day. 💕

Good morning. I was up early and started sorting things for the upcoming garage sale. So far, I have things priced and stacked. Many things had to be taken off eBay listing so that was another part of my morning chores.

Mark is taking apart the back yard tiki bar and we are going to sell that. Geez, it looks like I have a lot of room for a pool. LOL. 

Bye bye Tiki bar.
