This sub’s for you!

P1000973

Hey, Dan, in honor of your birthday yesterday, we all went to Russo’s for lunch to try their subs…at your suggestion.  They don’t have spicy mustard.  Bummer.  They were good, but I don’t think they will put Subway out of business.

Dick needed yet one more bag of Sakrette, so he dropped me off at Publix while he went to the big box store…and then we each got a few chores done.  No time for beading yesterday.  What’s wrong with that picture?!

The nawthern Bells arrived late afternoon and will be here for a week.  Yayyy!  Mike and Jennie joined us for dinner.  We all enjoyed the Greek chicken and couscous that I fixed in the crock pot.  Easy peasy.  Joy, this recipe was in the cookbook you gave me!  I am planning on using my crock pot as much as possible, so it is fun trying out new recipes.  Look for it at www.dyerdining.blogspot.com.  Soon.

Today we will kick back and be a bit lazy, then the six of us will join Dick’s high school group for dinner tonight.

Friends and food just go together.  Love it!

Beads and cord equals fun

P1000963

This is a bit of my latest bead order.  I’ve spent time sorting, labeling, filing…

 

And then doing a little playingP1000969, such as this one…

 

 

 

 

And this one…P1000972

And a few more items are in the works, along with yet another order of supplies.  Shhh…keep that last one just between us.  Dick will wonder where I’ll have room to store more *stuff*—but I’ll find a place!

The really, really good news is that Dick found a washer/dryer replacement just up the road in Cocoa Beach.  The guy will hold it until we can get up there in a couple of weeks, saving us from a special trip up there and back.  Woohoo!!!  Score! 

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Life is too short and friends are too few! 

I just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate each of you, especially everyone who leaves me a comment.  You know who you are!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

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…

P1000954

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!

IMGP9003

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!
