Mark took our latest parcel to the local post office where a customer was carefully counting her change to mail a package. Times are tough, I guess. After our chores were done, we decided it was time to drive to The Villages and return Pam's broken hair clips. Along the way, we stopped at a pawn shop and a recommended jewelry store to evaluate my jade ring. (I sold it on eBay just to get it back from the buyer stating it was glass! She made quite a fuss in the eBay world. I now have clarification that it is indeed, Genuine Jade. Na na na na na naaaanah!)
Did I tell you that we've been invited to Jim's in Lighthouse Point for 3 nights? With Robbie! It takes a special friend to invite us with our dog! Let me reiterate a story, that happened many years ago, but that I've never forgotten. (Obviously!) LOL
We had sold our Boca Raton house with a coinciding closing on our "new" house in Pompano Beach. They older couple in the Pompano house just didn't "get it" that they needed to leave on day of closing! LOL, Mark and I had to physically help them move. This resulted in Mark and I needing a place to stay for about a week. We had a wonderful offer from Jimmy and Barbara, who had three dogs and two birds of their own (stay as long as you want) ... and of course from my generous mom, who lived in a condo. But, our dearest friends, who will remain nameless, said "If you'll put the dogs in a kennel, you can come and stay here for three nights!" WTF? Why did they say anything??? My dear, sainted mother always said, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" So, thank you Jim, for your wonderful invitation. We really feel special. ;-)
Hmmm, what was THAT about??? Haha. It's been a lovely day here! There are some thunderstorms about, but we managed a nice walk with Robbie. I feel a bit better tonight ... the morning always is the challenge. Hopefully I'm on the mend.
Ta ta til tomorrow!
