Grumpy Thursday!

As in Grumpy Grouper. The dinner gang gets two surprise additions here tonight--Bob and Diana, long time friends who also both graduated from Lake Worth HS. Remember their names.

So, today is warm and beautiful. Just what Florida is supposed to be, right? Dick put up the table umbrella, put LED lights on our hedge, and generally got our patio shaped up so that we can actually get outside and enjoy it. That's good, since we'll have four folks visiting with us for a few days and eating outside is what we like to do.

Speaking of eating means that I am working on my grocery list and trying to decide what to prepare and what I need to purchase. Decisions, decisions. Rain is predicted for Saturday night, so eating out might be good for that night. I'm thinking Cuban pork for Sunday night. Yep, that sounds good. And it feeds a crowd.

Whatever you do today, make it a great one. Life is good!

Break out!

I left my moho cocoon last night for the first time since Saturday to enjoy dinner out.  It felt good.  Dinner tasted good.  I have re-joined the human race.  The couch potato has been harvested, as Barb put it!

And warm temps are on the way, so it is time for a pedicure to get my toes ready for exposure in sandals and flip flops.  Sorry to flaunt that to those still freezing, but I am in Florida for a reason—avoiding all that cold stuff!

Enjoy your hump day.  Life is good!

Photography 101

“Dick, why are you on your knee with the camera?”

“So I can get the sign in the photo.”

“No, don’t do that.  That is not a good photo angle!”   Too late…

So, I’ll get even.  I just had to do it…

See Dick?  See Dick wearing Sarge’s hair?  Hehe   Serves you right, buddy!

Bee and Charlie looked great, and Sarge is feeling better.  It was great seeing them again.

Our breakfast was fantastic as usual.  I didn’t forget that Haley asked what we ate—cinnamon-nut French toast, silly girl.  You knew that.  And fresh fruit cup.  We’ll go back next week, since Bob and Lynne and Mike and Jennie are all coming down here over the weekend, seeking warm temps.  Woohoo to good friends, good food, and good weather!!!  Bring it on…I’m ready!

Still chilly...still windy

Missy has the right idea. Snuggle up and sleep. She napped in my lap for about an hour this morning...I loved it! And now she is curled up in her bed, racking up some zzz. Dick is horizontal and watching TV. How soon before he is asleep?

It is sunny but still too chilly and windy to enjoy the outdoors, so in we'll stay.

It's OK to be a couch potato every now and then. I'm saving up my reserves to enjoy 70 degree weather on Thursday. Bring it on!

Poor me...

After two weeks of a nasty head cold and coughing that curled my toes and kept us both awake, I finally went to the walk-in clinic after our breakfast with Bee and Charlie. Enough was enough.

No fever. I'm not contagious, well, unless someone kisses me...like that's gonna happen! No danger there, as I look like death warmed over. I am on drugs...and they are working. Hallelujah...I can breathe; the coughing is almost normal; and I am at the computer for the first time today! Progress. I have been a real couch potato all day.

As Miz Scarlett said, "Tomorrow will be a better day."

Do I hear an amen?

Brunch gang

Fun and full tummies! And hugs all around. Weather was crummy, but not the company. Wish y'all could have been there!

Friday comparison...

Brian sent me this photo of our cove, taken yesterday...some of that is ICE on the lake...
More of that stuff has fallen.

See photo of FL from yesterday's post.

Now you know why old people go to Florida for the winter! I rest my case.

Happy Friday, y'all! Stay warm!!!
