Good Morning America was all about winter weather ... snow, sleet and ice!
LOL ... Sorry about my insensitivity.
The "Organizer" party I attended last night was a bust for me ... I am so organized I didn't need anything. One item was rather interesting ... a hook that slips onto a vehicle's headrest stanchions. Eight of them would be handy for hanging plastic grocery bags by the handles when hauling home a huge order from Walmart. But, they were six dollars each, plus $7.95 shipping. The bags can go in the trunk just as easily.
Today, I am going to lunch with the Harbor Shores ladies group. The plan was to go to the Palm Grill in Mount Dora, but that restaurant did not answer their phone yesterday. It's a rather small place, and with 15 to 18 of us arriving, they would be swamped without reservations made. So, second choice was Jeremiah's. I know some of the ladies are not going to like the food there, as it is primarily pub food. Yum.
Mark wanted to go shopping at Walmart. He has a new recipe to try and can shop for ingredients without me. He plans to invite Linda and Randy for tonight's experiment.
Later ... Lunch was great ... and fun. I met a "snowbird" neighbor, Christina, who I hadn't met before. She was so interesting, having moved from the Phillipines to Canada. Growing up, there were six children, all with their own maid. When they came home from school they showered and dressed formally for dinner at eight with their parents. Christina said her father came to visit once at her Florida home and was horrified at PAPER napkins on the table. LOL. She explained to her father that she doesn't have time to iron linens and can't afford a maid. When she visited her parents in the Philippines at Christmas, she was amazed they still employ the six maids they had growing up. Christina's father felt that he couldn't let them go now, as they would have no retirement, so he keeps them working although he has to hire extra help for the old maids. LOL. All this made me wonder why she would have ever moved to Canada??? (Yes, Canada. And she also has a home in Florida ... but the paper napkins.). Haha.
Randy and Linda arrived about 5:15 but she was angry antsy-pants. After some wandering about and a dog walk we sat down for supper of Cabbage Roll Casserole. It was good! Randy brought a bottle of aged wine and it was a hit. Once Linda had a glass of wine, she relaxed.
