Wednesday stuff

These honkers were not very welcome with all their noise early this morning. The news from our knee doc was very welcome...no knee replacement needed at this time! Be careful, don't stand for long periods, etc. Check. Okey dokey.

Time to hit the road, jack. Miles and smiles, y'all! Homeward bound.

Goodbye, WPB!

 

We shall see in January just how much this tree has grown after its recent “hair cut.”  Enjoy the sunshine and freedom, old tree!  We do appreciate your shade.

MM saw the eye doc yesterday and got really good news:  his fixed eye now has 20/20 vision.  What a blessing!  He is delighted with how well he can see with it.

Yes, Haley, Dad had Both Mushroom Chicken.  It is definitely still on the menu at Shangri-La, and is still tasty.   Key limes?  We’ll see what we can find for the birthday gal.

So today finds us on the road again, heading to Albany.  Why, you ask?  Well, two reasons:  dinner with my sister Nan, and an appointment with the knee doc in the morning….a twofer.

Guess which event will be more fun?!

Lots of miles and smiles today for us.  I hope you at least have some smiles.

Monday stuff

It all of a sudden occurred to me last night that with the warm weather back in Mayberry, our hummers have probably arrived and are looking for their free lunch…and I am not there to fill up the bottles!  Shame on me.  I will be there soon, babies.  Hang on!

We introduced Bill and Barbara to Shangri-La Gourmet Chinese Restaurant last night.   Even after us being away for over 20 years, we thought it was still good.  And B&B said they would go back, so that was high praise.  And my fortune cookie contained this message: Truth seeks and finds the light of day.

What we’ll be seeing today is the git-er done deadline, with one sleep left here in Florida. 

We’ll definitely be ready to pull out in the morning.

Woohoo!!!  Mayberry, here we come!  Can you tell I’m excited?

Holy Humor

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.

Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:  "I have circled  the block 10 times.  If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment.  Forgive us our trespasses.”

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note:  "I've circled this block for 10 years.  If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job.  Lead us not into temptation."

Sounds reasonable!

May your temptations be few today, and your smiles be in abundance.

MM and I are making progress with our projects.

Only two more sleeps in sunny Paradise, y’all!

3 more sleeps in paradise

 

That’s right—only 3 more sleeps and it will be time to pull out and head north to Home, Sweet Home!

So that means lots of prep work after living here for 3 months.  It is time to put away all the beading stuff before beginning all the major jobs, including spring cleaning.  Yuck.  No fun, but necessary.

MM has to lash down and cover all the patio furniture and stuff that can’t be put away in the small storage shed.  We have to plan ahead for hurricane season, since we aren’t here when they happen (smart planning on our part).

Our two assistants sniff around to check out what we are doing, in between naps, that is.  And getting in the way the rest of the time.  Bless their hearts.

That’s the excitement going on around here.  Life is good in paradise.  What’s your weekend fun?

Got “B” wings?

 

I learned recently that this arms position above is called “beeyoch” wings (you get my drift).  A one-arm position merely means you are p*ssed.  I had to use the above yesterday on MM.  And a few unkind words, like idiot  and crazy.  We do not need him to ruin his eye!  He is not invincible!  Srsly.

He was on top of the moho, cutting down some limbs.  The man just had a cataract removed on Tuesday, for heaven’s sake!  He got a piece of my mind…and quit what he was doing and sat on the patio like a good boy.  Men!

So about yesterday…I arrived at the rec hall for the line dance class only to be told by a group of men that due to the afternoon pool party, the yoga class and the line dance class were both cancelled.  Oh really?  Did anyone bother to let people know?…this said as I am standing there with boom box in hand!  They pointed out the “closed” sign on the door.  Hmm, difficult to see from my moho!  Another idiot, bless his heart.  They needed ALL DAY to set up a few tables?   Oh well…stuff happens.

So instead of dancing, I made some earrings and finished a necklace.  I am flexible.

The pool party was fine.  We ate and left and joined our friends at a restaurant for our goodbyes.  Our time is soon coming to an end here in this paradise.  We leave Tuesday…it’s time to go home. 

Sounds good to me.

The best is yet to come!

Busy Thursday

 

My handy office assistant will be taking over today, since we’ve got lots of stuff going on all day.

Barbara and Bill are cruising this week, so I am leading her line dance class this morning here at the park.  MM is my Music Man, who will operate the boom box, in Bill’s place.  That’s what friends do.

The annual park pool farewell party is today at 5 (not tomorrow as I had heard it would be), followed by a farewell dinner with friends at 7.  Sheesh.

Everything piles up, but we shall manage to attend and enjoy it all.  And rest tomorrow.  Right!

His eye is doing very well, thankyouverymuch!  I was a bit concerned that when he got his good eyesight back he was going to see that he is married to an old woman.  He’s a smart man and did not own up to that being a fact.  He will live another day!

So how is your day?

Remember:  Don’t take yourself too seriously.  No one else does.

Life is good in paradise, y’all.  I hope yours is too!
