Thursday things...

It was 38 here this morning. Even the critters are trying to stay out of the wind and cold. At 19 and possible snow back in Mayberry, we are thrilled with 38! Seriously.

We have a date this morning with our financial planner. We already know our 401K is only a 101K, but he and Dick like to discuss stuff and make predictions on where the economy is going and when it might recover and stuff like that. And we get a nice lunch, too!

Well, it is also laundry day and time to pay homage to Publix this afternoon. Tonight we'll meet with a whole bunch of Dick's classmates/friends for dinner. We started Thursday night dinners together last winter, and they sorta kept it up since we left, so we'll get it into high gear tonight. Minus Dan and Joan, who are now in Mayberry freezing their hoohaas off. Y'all need to bring that Airstream down here, my dears! Forget that remodeling for awhile and come down and thaw out!

So that is Thursday from the moho. Oh yes, we loved It's Complicated, and laughed ourselves silly all during it. It has some really good lines and comical, adult situations.

Whatever you do today, bundle up and stay warm and make it a great day!

It's Complicated!

Hold on to your hats, kiddos. Dad and I are going to see It's Complicated! today with Wade and Ginger, afternoon matinee, of course. Old people have to save bucks, you know.

Now the last time the two of us were in a theatre was to see "The Aviator," how many years ago? I have actually been more often, seeing some Disney movies with the grands, but the two of us...naw. Not much being shown has tempted us.

Yesterday was a cold but good day, beginning with their famous Cinnamon-nut French Toast at John G's yesterday, our most fave place to have breakfast on the beach. The deserted beach. It was too cold for anyone to be out in the surf. Then we did a little shopping...Dick found a new flowered Florida shirt to add to his collection that he maybe can wear NEXT WEEK. Sheesh. What happened to global warming, ppl? Record cold temps are being recorded in lots of places, but that isn't widely advertised now is it?

Enjoy Epiphany...and stay warm, y'all! Sending heavenly birthday greetings to Mother...

Where are the Griswolds?

Any guesses? Life is very good!!!

Brr, chilly chilly...

These two staghorns that Joan gave me last winter are not happy about the overnight temps and wind! A couple of the fronds are looking pitiful and will need to be snipped off...and there will be more of these temps for the next two nights. Hello.......this is FLORIDUH! The farmers out around Lake Okeechobee certainly were busy all night, with having to ice down crops and take care of animals. Farmers are terribly under appreciated.....and where would we all be without them? Think about it, ppl!

I mentioned this on Facebook but plum forgot to mention it here. Dick and I got to meet blogging friend Barb Saturday morning! Umm, yes, there should be a photo here to prove it, but did either one of us think about it? Heck no! We were too busy eating breakfast and talking...and talking...and laughing! Another missed opportunity, but we'll fix that next time. It is always fun meeting in the real. And did any of you know (besides Bee and Charlie) that Barb is almost 6' tall! You sure can't tell by her itty bitty bio photo, but she is. I had pictured her at about my height (5'6"), but I was wrong. She wears her height well. And next time I want to meet 'da boyz'.

My big outting today is maybe to Walmart to get a few things on my growing list. Whatever you do today, make it a happy one, and stay warm! And wash your hands often!!!

Chilly Monday...

Missy finds great joy in playing with the screen on the windshield, in between sunbathing. She is now in Florida and appears to want to work on her tan, and doing it inside a balmy moho is ideal for her during this cold spell. She is one smart girl that Missy.

We are back from a run to the local Sam's Club to see what there is to see and to pick up beer. You do remember that Mayberry is dry, don't you? That means that folks drink wet and vote DRY...and we get the trash and not the sales tax. Plain dumb.

So that is our big outting for the day. I still need to put a few things away and clean up a bit. I'm trying to pace myself.

Temps are supposed to be down in the high 30s tonight, so it will be a crock pot soup night.

Stay warm. Life is good!

Florida in fleece...

Brrr. Where are those tropical temps? Not here! But it is still better than Mayberry where they have had a dusting or two of snow.

The internet satellite wouldn't cooperate, so Dick had to go up top and manhandle it and much tweaking and cussing later, it is now working. Some transmitter won't cooperate, so we may have to have it fixed, since it is supposed to be automatic and not require any manhandling. He is great at fixing most anything...and has a determined attitude to git'er done.

He is enjoying his personal TV out on the chilly patio, as I am enjoying my own here in the warm coach. Wade and Ginger brought over our patio umbrella out of their storage unit, so Dick is taking care of the patio while I am...........catching up on my blogging friends. Fair trade, right?

Enjoy your Sunday. Ours appears to be a lazy one!

Rolling on...

Stopped in Tifton @ 11p last night at W/M. Dick is filling up the coach now in the same 30 degree weather we left last night. Quit following us! Prediction of 18 made us hightail it outta Mayberry. More later...yawn............
