24 days til CHRISTMAS!!! Good morning from sunny Central Florida. Rick was up early and had coffee with Mark. Then, the two of them decided on a breakfast of leftovers. Rick went to the coach to get eggs. Soon I appeared, then Ruth, and we all sat down to a fine breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns and orange juice. 


Rick and Ruth are interested in a property in our neighborhood. So, with Mark's "key", ha ha, we walked through the property. We all said it has wonderful potential.  So, with my ex-Realtor skills, I found some information online and a phone number for Ruth to call. She spoke with a Realtor who promptly came up the same information I had found.  Through this Realtor, Ruth offered a price to the bank ... so, we'll see if anything comes of it. They want a project and this would be a great project! LOL

Mark had hidden a fake spider in Rick's RV electrical panel. Ruth was coiling up the cable today and discovered the fake spider. She didn't even jump! That ruined all of Mark's fun but she sent Rick out to the panel to get something. Rick tried to get Mark back by putting a fake spider of his truck. Mark was asked to move the truck back to give Rick more room to pull out of the driveway. Of course Rick was waiting for Mark's scream, but he didn't see it. So we said our farewells and Rick and Ruth left about noon. But there is something called, "Spider karma." LOL

Mark and I went to the Humane Society store and dropped off a couple of donations; then shopped in the store. Ha ha ha, we donated 20 items but bought four. Well at least we're reducing! LOL

Next stop was to price a new headliner for the Buick. $125 sounded reasonable to us so we booked a Wednesday morning appointment. 

Next was a secret Santa stop, and then on our way home, we stopped at Dollar General for paper plates. As we were leaving the store, an older woman pulled in with a jacked-up jeep, and got out with a bad case of "the willies"!!! She called to Mark that a big spider was on her headliner! (Get it, spider, headliner, equals karma.) Mark was a big hero; got into her jeep and killed the big brown spider!!! LOL. You'd think I make this crap up. But no, it's factual. Haha. 

Now, back home, Mark is puttering around with chores and I've begun the laundry! 

Randy, Dawn, Jill and Jim-Bob went to Capt. Hiram's in Sebastian for lunch today. Apparently, Randy won the GreyCup  football pool yesterday! Today, he delivered our Christmas presents to Matt and family and saw our granddaughters. 

Sue is getting ready for a Shih Tzu Rescue benefit garage sale next weekend. She told me there is quite a muddle (Mom loved that word!) on her kitchen counter and bags of items by the front door for sorting!


It looks like some good stuff!!!


She has been selling items on her eBay store benefiting the dog rescue! Nice job Sue!

Tomorrow, Maggie has a vet appointment for blood work and a lymph node check up. Later, we'll take everyone for a boat ride and have lunch out. 

Tonight, it's relaxation mode!
