Good morning. It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny day and headed to 90° here in Central Florida. We began our morning watching upstairs downstairs on our BritBox subscription. It’s a really good series!

Last night we met LaDonna and Wayne for dinner at Takis in Eustis. It was good food … but if you’re looking for ambience and quality service, go to the Takis in Leesburg. After eating, they came back for cigars on the front porch and to visit with the doggies. They had a wonderful trip for their family reunion in Tennessee and shared pictures and brought us a couple of souvenirs. They are such good friends. 🥰

Great niece Crystal with Gregg’s dog Foxy. 

Great great niece Avery with her best friend, Foxy. It’s so nice to see little Foxy being loved. She was Gregg’s heart. 

Mark just came in from the backyard looking pretty hot and tired, he assures me he is just puttering this morning. 😥 (I like to putter too … but mostly inside the house!) 😁

This afternoon is game day for me. Mark will relax then and chill in front of the TV. (he has a big birthday next Wednesday!) 🥳

Game day fun … Rummicube with Rose, Pat, Anita and Elaine   3 of the 7 rounds I won. 😁 Much wine was consumed … I had low carb beer for a change. I was a nice afternoon. 

Mark worked on his work barge project replacing some decking. 

It’s not pretty … but getting prettier. 😂 Hey, it’s a work barge for tree trimming.

Guess where we’re off to? 

The Rocky Horror … it’ll be a B L A S T … we have the props! 🤪

Well THAT was a blast 💥 

Randy was smashing in his pearls and red lipstick! 😂

Nancy was costumed but sure participated in do the Time Warp dance. 

Time Warp in the aisle!

Meeting the cast … too bad I can’t sing 🎤 😆

After a couple red wine 🍷 🤪

Mark’s shirt glowed 

Singing anyway 😂🎶

Hahaha … what a great night!

Good morning sunshine! It’s another gorgeous day here in Central Florida.  Our humidity is low and there’s a breeze so it feels nice. (Mark says it’ll be hot later this afternoon … but it’s summer. 🤷‍♀️) 

Last night we had a nice time at Pat and Ken‘s. Rose and Jim were there, Deenna and Eddie and Mary. It was fun to catch up with everybody and hang around in the pool. Pat made slushy drinks, but I did not partake. It is amaretto, orange juice, simple sugar syrup, and seltzer water. Mark liked it! 

Today is paperwork day, so I am doing my May/June bookwork. Mark took the dogs for a golf cart ride and trimmed a few plants at the entrance to our community.

Good morning. We were both up fairly early, had breakfast and while I listened to Charlie Rich and had a 2nd coffee, Mark gathered up tools and went to work on his barge, the SeaGar. 

I puttered with my houseplants, repotting and propagating some for gifts. It’s a beautiful day here, overcast and low 80’s. 

🥳🐾 Robbie played humpy with his favorite toy … and walked about wearing it awhile. He’s such a sweet boy. 🥰

This morning, when Mark went out back with the dogs, he heard some screeching and couldn’t figure out what it was. He looked up in our big oak tree and there were TWO barred owls. We’ve been concerned about them since the pine tree at the end of our street was cut down. Maybe our oak will be their a new home!

LaDonna and Wayno will be back Monday from the family reunion in Tennessee with presents for Robbie and Queen Bee as they call her. 🐾😂 It’ll be nice to see them again. 

Tonight we’re going to Pat & Ken’s for a swim party and drinks. I hope the pool is warmer than Nancy’s (78 after the rain yesterday!)

Good morning. I was awake at 5:30, and Mark by 630. We’re going to take a load of tile from K’s house to the dump and then go for breakfast. After work, a bit of pleasure.

Chipping gun in action 

Yesterday, we worked on tearing out more tile from Sue & Wayne’s master bathroom shower stall. It’s a big job, but going to be so nice for them. 

The buckets are full of broken tile but a couple of  area pulled off in sheets! Lucky. 

We met Diane & Kris for burgers at Applebee’s at 6 o’clock. It was fun … a nice local restaurant.
