Flowers from my sweetie.
Perfect. Thanks, honey. ILY!
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Life is good in paradise, y’all!
Goodbye shorts! Brr…it is a long pants day today here in paradise. The cold front arrived and cleared out the rain, as predicted. Thankyouverymuch.
This photo was from the day we paddled the Wekiva River. Dick had just put our canoe (with HARD seats) in the water. That was a fun trip…but not one I would want to do today. Did I mention it is cold?
So the flea market trip got canned yesterday, which was no big deal. It will be there another day. I made several earrings, played WWF, and just piddled the day away until time to have enjoy Dorota’s cooking (that got changed to last night, just in case you are keeping up with all this). Yum.
Speaking of yum, we had THE best lobster bisque Saturday at a little place, Mike and Mike’s, that used to be the Boathouse. Guess where we are going tonight? It is only an occasional menu item, so tonight it is. I seriously wanted to lick my bowl clean. I’ll try not to embarrass myself tonight.
Beading stuff has to be put away so I’ll have room to play chef tomorrow. No way do I want to go out on V Day and fight the crowds, plus our ‘guests’ include some short people.
Speaking of V day, raise your hands if you are sick of those big bear commercials? What woman wants an almost 5’ tall stuffed bear??? Pu-lease. Guys, don’t fall for that load of bollocks because that is what it is. And that outfit with the feet on them? Just let me say that you will be VERY disappointed if that is what you present to your sweetie. Try flowers. Or bling.
Have yourself a ginger peachy day. Life is good in paradise, y’all!
A girl has to work on her tan however she can. Notice the two kitty beds in the windshield…that Missy managed to mostly avoid. But she is currently lying in the L one (hers) right now, surveying her domain. It is 47 outside and windy, but the sun is trying its best to come out and warm us up. My bet is the girl will stay in that bed all day. KC is stretched out on the back of the couch, snoozing already. What a life these two lead!
So what are the big kids doing today? The motley breakfast crew (Bill, Barbara, Dave, Dorota, us) is going up to a flea market in Stuart this morning. No telling what we’ll find, but if there is anything interesting (People of Flea Markets?), you know the camera will come out…and I just stuck it in my pocket so I won’t forget…and it will get posted.
Do something for fun today…and leave me a comment about it!
Life is good, y’all!
This photo from Sorrento is much prettier than our wet drab outside that is still here, but it is better than Mayberry, where there is a dusting of snow going on. Nothankyou.
So what I created yesterday was mostly a mess, but that has to happen with beading. Stuff here, stuff there. No photo of that wanted! I am mostly fixing and re-doing some things. Stuff wears out and breaks; I change my mind and want something done a little differently. Even a small project requires all the tools to be out and available. I like having my STUFF here so that I can play.
The disadvantage to moho, small-space living is the lack of project space…but MM doesn’t mind the mess. And Dorota is cooking dinner for us tonight, so I don’t have to put it all away just yet…and can still play awhile with my beads. iLikey!
Two kitties sleeping, MM internet surfing…life is good in paradise, y’all! It’s beading time!!!
What…the sun is trying to shine?! Come on sun!
These guys aren’t flying anywhere around here this morning. Maybe not today. We have a seriously weird rain pattern going on right now…weather radar shows a huge band split, part going north, part going east, and part stationary. Come on cold front---it will sure clean out all this krap!
So that’s your weather report from paradise, just in case you were wondering. Of course we’ll take this over what Ivana is enduring in the beautiful boot country! They have been inundated with record snow. Yuck. You know, maybe this rain isn’t so bad after all. Where’s a snorkel?
So today I actually plan to do a couple of small beading projects. If I remember how! Sheesh, it’s been way too long since I have played with my beads. Yessirree, I’m fixing that.
So who has weekend plans? Ours is low key, but we do gear up next week for folks to arrive, so this is a heads up with my WWF buds…I may be a ‘slow’ player.
It’s all good.
So where is Mr. Sun? Hiding again, dang it, but the birds are happily chirping outside our windows right now, probably safely in the bushes (since I can’t see a single feather) so they won’t get blown away! Is it March already???
So the good news is that the girls beat the boys last night, and there were six of us playing. That rocks! Twice, but I try not to brag.
Kathy wants to go to the Sailfish Marina for breakfast this morning, so off we shall go…all 6 players. Um, eaters. If the rain cooperates, perhaps we shall have a grudge match later on. Game on, boys!
Have yourself a great day.
Life is good in windy, cloudy paradise, y’all!
We drove out to our old farm to show Dorota and Dave where our family used to live. Dick and his family moved there when he was 8…a two-lane dirt road that ended at their house. It is now a six-lane major road!
We had a dock just behind my shoulder that frequently had kids and dogs playing around it. The house was to the L where the white fence is (now the community area of this development).
Our beautiful three story house sat right here. It had to be torn down because it couldn’t be turned into a public building because of local codes. Dick moved that big oak tree and planted it back in ‘79, when it was maybe 12’ tall, plus another one or two just like it. They are now huge.
Next we took our friends to see what we referred to as “North Lake,” another lake that Dick and brother Bob made. They had seriously big toys to play with in the sand way back then. It was hard work.
Since we were out roaming around, we drove out to see our old hangar that Dick built in ‘76 at a private airport. It was basic white when we owned it. He 
Oh yes, the blue hangar has a big blue house to go with it. My oh my. Changes for sure.
We were lucky that the skies cleared up for our travels. We arrived back at the park just in time for a few afternoon raindrops to hit us. Good timing.
Life is good…and very interesting, y’all! The only thing constant is CHANGE.
