Simple things

 

These carafes are mighty handy and among some of my favorite products these days.  The two larger ones are shatterproof plastic.  They are handy especially out on the patio, and the flip lids keep fingers out of the food.   Germs are not allowed!

The short carafe is glass and currently has candy in it.  Sometimes it contains a bouquet of flowers.  Wine?  Oh yes, that is the normal carafe purpose, but no, they have never contained wine!

Multi-use items are very important to have when living in a motorhome.

Do you have a favorite product that you re-purpose?  Please share!  I love getting new ideas.

Chilly Monday

 

These recent backyard visitors won’t be doing much flying today with all our wind.  Sheesh.  And it is 53 (I know, I know—Mayberry is expecting snow flurries, which is why we are still NOT there).  MM will have to don jeans today, instead of shorts.  Poor baby.

Actually, MM has to go back to the eye doc this morning to finalize stuff for his cataract surgery before we go back.  Bugger.  We’ll get him patched up and good to go for awhile longer.

The Golden Years merely means that it takes a pot of gold to keep us going!  And so it does, and so we will…keep going.

Life isn't about how you survived the storm...
it's about how you danced in the rain!
So Dance!

Have a peachy Monday, y’all!

Windy Sunday

 

The March winds are here in good form this morning ahead of a cold front.  MM is keeping watch on our awning and patio umbrella, just in case they need to be put away.  Rain later on. 

Yesterday was perfect for the croquet game.  It was a big crowd and everyone had fun.  MM and I won our two games.  I won’t brag about who the high scorer was.  Our partners there on the R were neat folks.  So was our instructor on the L.  All the officials (and members)  wear white.  I definitely did NOT wear white yesterday.  I knew better than to do that, not wanting to be confused with someone who knew what they were doing!

So I also re-strung three bracelets for a friend, and have a few more odd jobs to do before I can get creative again.  A sweet lady here in the park wants a simple brown bead bracelet, so she will get one.  She’s a honey and doesn’t get outside the park much, so this will give her some smiles.  I like that.

Have yourself a peachy day.  Life is good here in paradise, if we don’t get gone with the wind!

Croquet anyone?

 

Croquet is a lawn game, played both as a recreational pastime and as a competitive sport. 

Today, MM and I will be doing some recreational playing.  We don’t know enough about it to even consider that competitive part!  And we’ll enjoy the folks and the dinner afterward.

Who knew there are about 200 clubs across the country?  Many colleges have croquet clubs.  This is a game played all around the world.

We’ll have fun.  And the weather is fantastic today.

Sunscreen?  Check.

My heart goes out to friend Barb in the loss of her dear Whitey boy yesterday.  He was one brave kitty, who was lucky to have himself such a loving and caring mama.  Hugs!

Do something to put a smile on another face today.  Everyone wins with that combination!

Life is good, y’all!

Sweet dad

 

Missy definitely prefers her daddy over me.  KC is a mama’s boy.  It must be genetic for them both, because we treat and love them equally.  So when Dick and Missy were cuddling on the couch, he told me to quickly snap this photo to prove that KC came to cuddle.

Smart boy.  Sweet boy.  But it didn’t last for long, but dad appreciated the loving, even though it was brief.  And not the best of photos…just a quick phone P&S (oops, point and shoot). 

So just the usual around here today at the fun factory, enjoying this fine weather and doing chores and stuff.  With our able assistants, Missy and KC.  WYWH…to go to John G’s and to the Pirate’s Well. 

Have yourself a peachy day.

That’s it from paradise, y’all!

Barbara and the class

This didn't attach earlier...

Thursday grooving

Joan and I joined Barbara's line dance class this morning and learned two new dances.

Now we are ready for lunch, then a nap!

But Dan and Joan are pulling out this afternoon. Boohoo. It has been fun.

Life is good in paradise y'all!
