Thursday travels

Yes we are! Good sunny morning from I-95 N bound, heading a wee bit NW of Orlando.

We are meeting our Monaco Travelers club for a few days of new adventures. We have never been to Webster before, but our hosts have lots planned for us. KC doesn't think much of this whole adventure. Poor thang. He'll get over it.

Miles and smiles, and happy hour awaiting us. Come along!

Life is one adventure after another, y'all!

Hat tip to Joy for the photo found on the Internet from a car park in Scotland.

Chia Haley!

I like Brian’s comment on FB this morning:

Just 6 months ago I didn't even have a child, now she's already 13!  Happy birthday to my chia daughter Haley!

She celebrated all weekend with friends and family, so it is a good thing today isn’t a school day so that she (and Maddie) can rest.

Happy Birthday, honey girl.  Grumps and I love you…and thank Briney and Faith for their quick work.  You two are now officially the parents of a teenager.  Good luck!

Happy Monday to everyone.

Life is good, y’all!

Sunny Friday in paradise

No frost for us close to the coast, but some out west of us are reporting on the weather news just a bit of frost on their windshields. My orchids got safely brought inside after dark.

I asked Siri to simply remind me "orchids" at 9p so that I wouldn't forget. She said OK, and sent me this confirmation: Or kids, 9:00. It made me laugh.

I'm easily entertained.

Not the best news from the derma-dude on MM. It is early stage, so we have another scoop-out session set up in a couple of weeks. He doesn't have an ounce of vanity, so he won't mind these two wee scars on his upper arms. We are just happy to get the bad spots gone!

So today we meet with the financial guy. Thrilling, I am sure. And maybe dinner at the Well tonight. We don't rush into details. The day is still young and full of opportunities.

It won't be dull here in paradise. There is always laundry calling.

Life is good, y'all!

Windy day in paradise

Missy found one spot of sunbeam to relax in this chilly morning. Smart girl. Second cold front is arriving, but it is still warmer than Mayberry, so this is merely an observation...not a complaint!

I got an all clear call from the dermatology office yesterday. Good news for me, but no news yet on Maytag Man's results yet, so hopefully that news will come today.

Blister...pop or don't pop? I have a doozy sitting on my pointer finger that I am amazed is still intact. I accidentally scratched the one on my shoulder, popping it big time. Ouch. We shall see which heals the quickest. Methinks I can't use the new ointment cream given to me. The two spots I used it on itch. Great...not! Another allergy product to add to the list.

May all our problems be so small!

So today is just usual stuff. Oh, that teardrop camper has plexiglass just under the roof, not screens. We took a close look yesterday. And MM took over our space heater at dinner time to see if they wanted to borrow it while here. Yes! French Canadians, but nice gestures are appreciated with no language barrier. And it will be down in the 30s tonight. Brrr...

We are meeting Johnnie and Susan and whoever else for dinner tonight at a new place tonight. We will have fun for sure. Check.

Life is all about family and friends...and playing nice. Check.

Y'all find your own sunbeam today and enjoy!

Rainy Wednesday

One cold front down, two to go.

Good yucky morning, where MM is still snoozing and two kitties aren't. Something is wrong with that scenario.

Check out our cute new neighbor:



I'm wondering how that pop-up section fares in this rain. Hopefully we get a chance to check it out closer.

Here is another beauty and one that has a long and interesting story. I'll have to get MM to help me with those details, a good project for a rainy day. Friend Dick (we spent the night in his yard recently) is restoring this prototype that his father designed back in the early '50s:







We took Bill and Barbara by there after breakfast Monday. They wanna go back and see it when it is finished. Dickie has a March deadline that is rapidly approaching. He is a workaholic, so he will git-er-done. She is a real beauty...and an expensive mistress!

One of our renters had an electrical problem that MM needs to go fix today between rain showers. I am doing paperwork...a good, rainy day project that goes on, no matter where we are.

Life is good here at the fun factory. Hope yours is, too. I think I'll just enjoy my coffee and my Mary Alice Monroe novel while it is quiet. Paperwork can wait awhile longer. Check.

Barnacle check

Breakfast was great at John G’s yesterday; the company was as well.  Long time friends Terry and Lynn met us there.  We took Bill and Barbara with us (they LOVE that place, too), and we discovered that Terry and Bill have something in common—karaoke!  Those two boys are gonna have a play date soon. 

Then it was time for our annual visit to the dermatologist for “barnacle” check.  We both had several pesky spots that needed freezing off, however I had one place and MM had two that looked a little suspicious that were scraped (more like scooped!) for analysis.  It’ll be a couple of weeks before we know anything.

We are both at the patching stage of life, but are grateful for the patching skills.

Today is beautiful ahead of 3…note that…3 approaching cold fronts.  Sheesh.  You’d think this is winter.  Oh.  It is.  Snow predicted in Mayberry tomorrow.  Have I mentioned we love Florida in the winter?

Usual stuff going on today.  And that is A-OK.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Life is good, y’all.  Bundle up…and line up your target!

Sunny Sunday

Beautiful and 70 here in WPB this morning. Hello, blimp. It is cooler up where you are.

Heading to church, then a little exploring afterward.

Have yourselves a ginger peachy day, my friends. Make today special...because it is.
