Tuesday smiles

Husband and wife had a tiff.grandma

Wife called up her mom and said, "He fought with me again,  I am coming to live with you."

Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake.  I am coming to live with you.”

~~Watch out, Logan and Jason.  Love y’all!

Monday again!


Three guesses on where we'll be eating breakfast this morning!

We are meeting long time friends Lynn and Terry.  We've got lots of catching up to do!

What a great way to begin a brand new week.  I sure hope yours is a great one.  Ours will be.

Life is good in paradise, y'all!

Just hanging around…

Words of wisdom from Maxine:

As you slide down the banister of life, may
The splinters never point the wrong way...  

So we are back to square one on the washer.  The one near Mayberry apparently got gone, because now the ad is down.  And there was no phone listing with the ad, which is rather annoying.  Oh well…a small splinter in life.

Dick is enjoying TV on the patio; I am going to play with beads.  Missy is napping.  Mike and Jennie are coming over later to help us finish off the Cuban pork for dinner.

The weather is fabulous here in paradise.  WYWH!

Splendide is not so splendid!

This puppy is officially dead.  Kaput.  Good for parts only.  And of course, it had to die on a load of towels.  Dick was able to manually get the machine to spin and get rid of the water, and get the door unlocked and opened to remove the contents.  This was last night’s news.  Sigh. 

As much as I hate using public machines, I now have two loads going in the park’s facilities.   Dick has found a possible replacement online in a town near Mayberry.   Woohoo!!!

The fun just keeps on going.

Hopefully this will be our only major malfunction this year.

So this morning we four (Mike and Jennie) went to Costco and looked around.  Jennie is making lamb chops tonight for us, and I’ll fix some veggies.  We have had fun combining our talents and stuff.  And it is warm enough now to eat outside without the patio heater on.  At least there is no snow anywhere in this state and the warmer temps are coming back, unlike Mayberry where there is snow/ice on the ground and schools are still closed.

Stay warm.  Life is GOOD, y’all!

Friday Funday

IMGP8922

Check out this bowl of goodness.  Savor the herbs, the seafood…the garlic bread…

We are off to pick up Mike and Jennie and take them out for a great lunch of Fisherman’s Stew.  Boy, do I want that secret recipe!!!  Judie and Neal are meeting us at Schooner’s.  Yum…on both the food and the company.

Tonight, being Friday, is ‘beer and wings’ night with yet another group of friends.  Life is good in paradise!  WYWH.

How are YOU spending Friday Funday?  Stay warm, y’all!

Thursday in paradise

P1000950

Missy is sooo busted.  This is a big NO-NO.  Look at that—she has her OWN bed in the window, and a chair for a ladder to get there.  Sheesh.  She thought no one was looking. 

So, Dick has planted two small palm trees already; has gone to the box store for paint, and is now working on the oil cooler.  I’ve read/commented on all the blogs in my reader, dusted, cleaned up the kitchen, started laundry, and gotten Jennie checked in at the park office (Mike and Jennie arrived yesterday).  What do I have to actually SHOW for all that?  Hmmm, isn’t that the way it is…busy, and nothing to show for it, like a tree in the ground?  Or those pavers set in concrete?  Maybe clean laundry will count for something.

Oh, good news!  Mr. FedEx just now brought me a lovely package of beads, so I think I shall go play.  That’s a very good plan.

Enjoy your Thursday.  Mine just got REAL good!

Mayberry vs W Palm Beach

Mayberry today...21 degrees.  And more of this stuff falling.


Brrr...









W Palm Beach today...53 degrees...high expected of low '60s



Which would YOU prefer?

I thought so.  Me, too.  No shoveling required.

Life is good, y'all!
