THURSDAY APRIL 30, 2015

Good morning from sunny Central Florida where it's 73° at noon! That's pretty perfect in my books.

After our morning routine, Mark and I decided to go thrift store shopping. Robbie is coming along for the ride as it's such a beautiful day and he won't mind sitting in the truck for a few minutes here and there.

Sue has gone with Wayne to get a nasty spot removed. We hope it goes well, and isn't too awfully painful.

Dawn is working today, Scott is driving south to Pompano Beach, and Randy is doing laundry in preparation for tomorrow's packing.

I saw this Jacaranda tree on the way home from Mount Dora today. I had no idea they grew in this area and thought it was only a South Florida tree! Beautiful isn't it!!!

Mark was worried about getting his wedding ring off today as his finger had been swelling lately. He used soap and dental floss to get it off. I know it sounds strange, but he has a method that never fails. Good thing, eh?

Yes, I'd say it's time for a new one. So we looked around and found a replacement we both like, 1 1/2 sizes larger. 

So, that's our news for today. I heard that Wayne's dermatology appointment went well, and that he was home by mid afternoon. 

The month of April certainly went fast didn't it? Tomorrow is May Day, and another chance to get it right. Ta ta. 

WEDNESDAY APRIL 29, 2015

Good morning sunshine! Robbie was fussing about last night, before bedtime, trying to tell us "something"! (We figured his wiggle ball needed batteries, but didn't have 2 new AAA.)

At 8:30 this morning, Robbie took his ball to Mark and waited while batteries were installed. (We only had 1 new AAA on hand ... so repurposed a partially used one.) The darn thing only works when the button is held "on". So off to the store we go!)

Mark did our post office run this morning and then delivered the refurbished riding lawnmower to Randy.

I think he likes it!!! LOL 

Scott is seen earning his keep with a rake. Haha. He had a ride around on it too!

Randy in training ... pay attention now!!!

Robbie came for a ride this afternoon while we ran errands ... tonight Randy, Dawn & Scott are coming for dinner. Mark is cooking Cabbage Roll Casserole. (Blueberry pie & ice cream for dessert!). Yum. 

Randy & Scott watched "Legend of Shelby, Swamp Man" with us ... what a hoot ... along with a few beer. LOL

Robbie sat with Randy and took up the footrest. Haha. 

Dawn arrived at 9 and we sat down to dinner ... Mark's excellent cooking. It was a good evening. I hope your day was great as well. Ta ta. 

TUESDAY APRIL 28, 2015

Well, this day slipped away on me!!! It's 9 o'clock in the evening already. LOL 

It was a rainy start to our day, with on and off showers until mid afternoon. Mark took parcels to the post office but by the time he got back home, there was another one ready to go! Ha. 

Sue called to say she had Julius at the cardiologist vet today. There was no major change to his heart condition, good news, indeed. It seems he has a rather slow heart rate, so Mark recommended giving him a cuppa coffee in the morning. Ha ha!  

Randy, Dawn and Scott decided on a shopping trip to the Orlando outlet mall. Dawn had seen a black dress when there with Jill and Bob; and "needs" it for their upcoming Costa Rican trip.

Mark and I decided on an afternoon of bowling practice. Mark did pretty well, but it was a disastrous day for me. Sore everything today! Oh well, I burned a calorie. LOL. 

90% of today was spent relisting and tweaking eBay items. Whew. 

Mark saw a film crew in downtown Eustis yesterday ...

apparently we have a home-grown country singer in our town! Cool. 

Darn! Mark and I missed our debut. Haha. 

It's time for some R & R. I hope your day was great. Ta ta. 

MONDAY APRIL 27, 2015

Good morning! Batten down the hatches ... there's rain moving in from the Gulf. It looks like a day of showers!

I was up very early in the morning, checking my eBay page for sales. Then, Mark got up at 6:30. At that time, I was ready to go back to bed. LOL. We were like ships passing in the night. Haha. 

When I got up again at 9 o'clock, I did have an eBay sale! Mark took the weekend's sale items to the post office, well I tidied up and labeled "boxed items" that are on eBay currently. It looks much tidier now, and perhaps easier to find! All this got Mark thinking, and he dug through his shed and came out with a couple of old fishing reels he doesn't use anymore. Wow. Count me as impressed, a man giving up some fishing equipment??? (I bet Sue can't get Wayne to give up any!) LOL

Randy called about 2 o'clock and invited us for pasta and dominoes tonight. Mark thought this a fine idea, rather than cooking at home! 

Today would have been mom's 96th birthday. It's still surprising to us that she's gone, as she was in pretty good health. To pass away from a common cold was very unexpected. We miss you mom!

This is the last picture I took of mom in the garden at John Knox Village. 

Randy's and Dawn's chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was excellent. It was the first time they've made it, and it turned out great. After dinner, we got out the Mexican Dominoes and Mark helped Scott learn the game. Mark was such a good teacher, that Scott, along with "beginner's luck" won the entire game! We had a lot of laughs.  At 12:15, we headed home. Ta ta. 

Randy and Robbie. 

SUNDAY APRIL 26, 2015

Good (early) morning! "Not a creature was stirring ... " (not even the dog!) Fortunately, I went back to bed until 8 o'clock. 

Mark worked on the lawnmower today and got it running very well. He cut grass to test the blade and everything works fine. It's time to take it to Randy's. He needs a riding mower for cutting his vacant lot. 

This afternoon, we went shopping to Walgreens for a few items. Randy, Dawn and Scott were at the Hideaway listening to music and seeing the sights all afternoon. 

We were invited to Lew's & Lynn's for happy hour. They are both dieting, so it was a pretty slim happy hour. LOL. Mark and I had a beer, but they didn't have anything.  Wha-waa. (Fat and happy is how WE roll.) LOL

After a rib-eye steak dinner, we HEADED over to Randy's and Dawn's to teach Scott how to play Mexican Dominoes. (No Scott, it won't cost you any money.) Ha ha. There is no gutter ball fund involved in this game. Whew, eh?

Well, no dominoes tonight. Dan, Scott & Dave - all partners from the Hideaway- came to Randy's for supper! We'd already eaten ... but Dawn's bean dip was great!  Mark was pool champ for several games ... til he scratched on the 8 ball. It was a fun time!

Did you know Miss Jenners got a new cereal box contract?

It must be true ... I saw it on Facebook!!!  

How was your weekend? Confusing ...

like this pup and hen!  LOL. Ta ta. 

SATURDAY APRIL 25, 2015

Good morning. I slept in. Ha ha. It seems our summer hours are taking effect. Mark and I have decided to sleep in later and stay up till midnight. How wild. LOL. Robbie doesn't seem to mind at all. About seven in the morning he comes into the bedroom and wants to get up on the bed with us. He plays for a few minutes and then goes back to sleep at the foot of our bed. What a perfect little darling. 

This morning, Mark went to pick up the lawnmower at the repair shop. The owner charged $36 for the repair. Mark was impressed. It could have been much, much more. He thinks he's into the mower for about $250-$275 ... so now he and Randy will have to negotiate. Ha ha. It's the "family rate"! 

This afternoon, Mark and I are going bowling, to practice. We invited Dawn and Scott to join us as Randy is flipping burgers at the Hideaway. We will join them all there tonight, when it cools down a little. It's quite muggy outside right now. It's going to a high of 90°F this afternoon. 

Scottie at the BBQ ... 

We arrived at the Hideaway as RanDawn were going home for showers. R smelled like sausages, apparently. (That's bad for a vegetarian!) LOL

Bikes at the Hideaway! (We arrived with beer ... knew it would be slow service, if we got a seat!)

Yay ... we found perfect seats by the water ... 

Randy, Dawn & Scott arrived soon and joined us. Randy was overtired and had the itchies. Ha ha. Two bar flies put on their own version of a side show ... scary, LOL ... and we headed home at 9. 

More fun tomorrow. Ta ta. 

FRIDAY APRIL 24, 2015

Good morning from Central Florida! Not a cloud in the sky, and 77°F. 

I began my day with photographing two necklaces I just finished, and ordering one "very cheap" necklace from China. I'm interested to see the workmanship and how it compares with USA made. (It just might turn my neck green.) LOL. That is, if it arrives.

Mark decided it was a good day for laying a little sod, as he got rained out yesterday on his project. So he went to his favorite store, the Home Depot. Back in the 80s, when I traveled to Florida from Canada for winter vacation, I'd go with my dad to "Home Owners Warehouse, which I believe became Home Depot, and purchase items not available in Canada. One year I took back two ceiling fans! Anyway, that was then, and this is now. If only I had bought stock in that company when it began. Ha ha! Mark and I have certainly supported that store with all our home renovations over the years!!!

This afternoon, we're meeting Randy, Dawn and Scott at the bowling alley for a few games. Tomorrow, Randy is flipping burgers at the Hideaway as the bar will be extra busy because of Leesburg Bike Fest.) 

Scott was a great sport and contributed $8 to the gutter ball fund ... over 2 games. For the first time EVER, Randy and I had NO gutter balls. LOL Thank you Scott. 

Randy felt very sorry (NOT) for Scott's "bad pin fall".

Hahaha ... Misery loves company. LOL ... Randy enjoyed the fun. 

Tonight, Randy, Dawn and Scott are going to downtown Leesburg to check out the festivities. Mark and I have decided to relax at home with Robbie.

Sue and Wayne are very worried about Julius. He hasn't been feeling well and today fainted after his evening walk. Why do things escalate on a Friday when professionals aren't available? We hope the little guy will be fine. Fingers crossed. 

So that was our Friday ... we missed seeing "cottage" pics this week Jim. 

THURSDAY APRIL 23, 2015

Good day, eh? Well it is for the Anaheim Ducks! They fought hard ... Winnipeg Jets; maybe next year. It was certainly edge of the seat entertainment!!!

It's a cool start to our day at 67F. Nice. Our resident chickadees are growing fast. Yesterday, Mark found a dead one outside the nest. He checked on the others and they seem to be fine. Perhaps one flew the coop before he was mature enough? According to Wikipedia, they will all leave when momma quits bringing them food ... about 16-20 days after hatching. I know of some human mommas who should do the same thing. LOL

Mark is off to the post office with one package. We sold 4 picture frames yesterday, all new, for $12.  Sales are definitely slow this week, but one or two a day! Just after Mark left, a clay pigeon thrower are sold for $12.15. It wasn't much for vintage, or antique piece. But at a garage sale you'd be lucky to get one or two dollars. After the post office, he is taking the Scottish kilt apron to Randy's, and then picking up a pallet of sod. 

Today is "game day " at my friend Nancy's home. It's always a fun time. Two of our usual gamers are away, so that means two spots at the Rummikube table. We shall see.

I heard from our friend Timichael today. He is tiling their front entranceway as "someone" keeps running over their sidewalk. I joked with him and said "I bet it's you!" LOL ... he hasn't replied yet. 

Timichael's T-shirt. LOL

Tim and Cayann's front entrance ... the new tile under progress. 

While I had fun with "the girls" at game day, Mark puttered about. Once I got home, we had fish & chips cooked on the Pizzazz ... then after dinner drinks by the water. It was nice and breezy!

Tonight ... Nashville on TV and early to bed, maybe. 

How was your Thursday?

WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 2015

Good (too early) morning! Too much of "the great outdoors" yesterday has me wheezing and coughing. It's time for an antihistamine! Drat. 

I won't be hugging any trees today! LOL  BUT, "Happy Earth Day"!  

We were off to the dentist ... Petsupermarket ... and lunch at The Mellow Mushroom in Mount Dora. 

We had a Mediterranean pizza ... and beer. The occasion was "Date Night" ... but we went for lunch, instead. It was fun to try a new restaurant. 

Otherwise, it was a quiet afternoon. I worked on a necklace creation while Mark relaxed with Light Relief on his strained back and watched hockey on TV. 

Bob and Jill are now on their way home! It was great fun seeing them! Tomorrow, Scott may arrive for Leesburg Bike Fest. that starts Friday. Randy is working all weekend at the Hideaway for Dan ... flipping burgers. It'll be fun to be a spectator to that. LOL 

So that's our day. We're going to watch the Winnipeg Jets win a game tonight!!!

Ta ta. Enjoy. 

TUESDAY APRIL 21, 2015

Good morning. It's partly sunny today and going to a high of 84. Our plans include a boat ride and lunch at Crazy Gators then a walk to Peddler's Wagon with Bob, Jill and Randy. (Dawn is at work today!) :(

Later today, Tom from Simplex is coming over to give us an estimate on a front porch and carport for the Kia. Anyone who knows me knows I like to sit outside in the rain ... so a covered front porch sounds ideal. Haha. 

A Magnolia bud ... just ready to blossom!

The gang arrived at 11 and we crossed the lake to Ferran Park, docking by the Heron fountain, downtown. Mark relaxed on the boat while Randy, Jill, Bob and I walked to Peddler's Wagon for mimosas and shopping. Jill and I "found" a few things we needed and browsed for an hour (or so).  Bob was keeping track. LOL. Finally, Randy and Bob went to enjoy a cold beer on the boat with Mark. 

This was the scene when Jill and I arrived back to Mrs R B. Cheers! LOL. (I don't think they minded the wait.)

We moved the boat to Crazy Gators and had a good lunch! The lake was still flat when we crossed to go home ... a perfect day in paradise. Tomorrow is a packing day for Bob and Jill with their flight home in the evening. We've had a great time with them!

Looking great ... at the angel's trumpet!

Tom from Simplex arrived about 4 o'clock to give us ideas on possibly adding a front porch and Kia carport. (Our track record with Simplex is great ... Tom designed and built our RV port and also our boathouse.) We'll hear from him soon. 

Tonight ... chilling out. Ta ta. (I hope you had a good Tuesday too!)

MONDAY APRIL 20, 2015

Gee, I've started this day before going to bed. Ha ha. 

Good morning. It's now 8:30 AM and I've begun Monday's laundry while Mark went to help Lew fix the fuel line on his boat. (Karma caused a feisty squirrel to chew through Lew's fuel line!) LOL

Our angel's trumpet is blooming beautifully and the fragrance is intoxicating! It's a very old plant, we know, as it was here, full size, when we bought the property 15 years ago!

After a bowl of vegetable soup, Mark went to help Lew trim tree branches, while I worked on paperwork and finished the overflowing laundry. (It's been a hot few days so the basket fills up fast!)

With chores completed, I worked on eBay listings for next month. (Mark came home after beer drinking at Lew's and fell asleep) ... Haha. Tonight, we're going for that elusive ham dinner at Randy's and Dawn's. 

Dinner was great! Mark was blindfolded to taste test "real" ham against Randy's turkey ham. 

Mark won the challenge! LOL. (He was sure worried what was going to be put in his mouth!) Ha!

Bob carved the ham! Randy set up the buffet and dinner was on! 

Delicious!  Dawn arrived home a little early due to a power outage at the shop. Randy saved his 2nd helping to eat with her. Sweet. 

The hockey game started so Mexican Dominoes was put on the back burner for another night. This is Winnipeg's third shot at a win ... best of 7. Mark and I left at 10 to catch the next period at home. Winnipeg's home stadium fans were donned in white jerseys ... "a white-out"!

Tomorrow ... a boat ride and Crazy Gators lunch; then walk to Peddler's Wagon to browse. 

Ta ta. Hope your Monday was fab!

SUNDAY APRIL 19, 2015

Good morning. It's 84° and sunny at 11 o'clock! Today's plans include bowling, Mexican dominoes and dinner at Randy's and Dawn's. Busy, busy busy. 

Meanwhile, Rose arrived home safely to Lake of the Woods with travel mate, George. 

George the monkey, enjoyed the ride but was happy to relax on the deck at the lake! It won't be long until there's water there, not ice. Enjoy!!!

Sue has been working on a bowling fundraiser for Shih Tzu rescue for several months now. Yesterday was the big event with 60 bowlers! They raised more than $4000!!! Yay. That's fantastic, and it was the first one! (An annual event???) Good work, Sue (and Wayne)!

EBay has been sporadic this past week. Over the weekend, I've sold two shelf-sitter figurines, three pairs of earrings, and one brooch. The grandfather clock I have listed for sale for $239 sold, but to a person in Russia. My listing says "pick up only" but I guess that did not translate into Russian. LOL. I had quite a time explaining online that I was not going to ship the clock to him! He was willing to pay, but it would be about $400 to ship it. And, that would be after I crated & packed the clock. No deal. LOL. So it's back on eBay!

Mark and I went bowling ... practice only, while the rest of the gang went to the Hideaway. We'll get together at 6 for a ham dinner and a game of dominoes. 

Our resident Chickadees are getting big enough to peek out the doorway! 

Momma is busy feeding her brood ... I think one is bigger than the others!

We arrived with a flagpole for Randy's half American, half Canadian that he was given in Tampa last January. After finding the perfect place in the yard, Bob, Randy and Mark installed it. 

Randy and Mark posing with the flag. LOL

Then "everyone" got in on the fun. 

Saluting the flag, Dawn, Randy, Jill, Mark and Bob. Haha. It's perfect. 

The gang spent too much time having fun at the Hideaway so there was no cooking done. They picked up two Dominoes pizzas instead of baking ham. LOL. Then, the Mexican Dominoes came out. Bob and Jill caught on quickly. 

We had dozens of laughs and, as Bob said, "There wasn't any hockey on anyway!" LOL

During the game, Dawn made the potato casserole for tomorrow's dinner. Well, she has an interesting way of grating cheese ... Michigan style, Mark called it. Here's Mark's imitation ...

... of Dawn gyrating, er, grating ...

the cheese!  You can imagine the whistles and cat calls. LOL 

So, we were off home by 10 as Dawn works tomorrow and it's a repeat party tomorrow night. Haha. 

Ta ta. I hope your SUNDAY was grand too!

SATURDAY APRIL 18, 2015

It's going to be a muggy day of 90F. Whew ... not generally our favorite boating weather so Robbie will be left at home. It'll be better for him and, that way, we can find A/C and eat lunch inside at Hurricane's. 

Everyone arrived at 11:30 and we were off to Tavares and the air show. (It was just beautiful...breezy and not too hot!)

Mark took this interesting selfie. Haha. 

Dawn and Bob enjoyed a brief siesta ... but I'm kind. I posted the "just woke up picture" instead. LOL

Meanwhile, McKenna was spinning, bobbing and weaving ... having fun with Randy. 

It was a perfect afternoon!

Several antique aircraft performed trick maneuvers and put on a very good show. We had the best seats in the house. Ha ha. Plus beer! And wine!

At 2:30, we went to Hurricane's for a delicious lunch. It was nice and cool sitting inside, although the doors were open to the patio. Jill enjoyed the crabcakes, and I may try them another time. Mark and I had burgers, and we're still full four hours later! Ha ha. 

When we got home at 4:30, Robbie was waiting for us. I was glad we haven't taken him though as it would've been a very long day for the little guy! Everyone regrouped, and headed back to Randy's for showers and rest. They have dinner plans at the Lakeside Inn this evening. Mark and I are invited, but Mark is still full and ready to relax for the evening! 

So ... we're chilling tonight but will see everyone tomorrow for bowling and dinner. 

Sue and Wayne hosted the Shih Tzu Rescue bowling fundraiser tonight. I hope they've had a great turnout for a great purpose. 

That's all for today. 

FRIDAY APRIL 17, 2015

Good day, eh? It's Friday!

It was housecleaning day here at our place. Randy, Dawn, Bob and Jill went to Orlando for outlet shopping! Mark suggested they visit the Orlando "Eye" which just opened! (It's the big wheel that takes about an hour for one revolution!) I doubt they'll have time with all the stores in that mall. LOL. 

This afternoon, the new curtains I ordered arrived so I had a project. I doubled the living room curtain volume and also replaced the "winter" curtains between the dining room and sunroom. The new curtains are Ivory colored and have cascading ruffles. After hanging them I realized they need to be doubled for true fullness ... so I ordered two more panels. 

Mark was outside working on the 2nd brace for hoisting "Mrs R B" (inside the boat house.) This is a job he's been puttering with for more than a year. No hurry. 

Meanwhile, our little chickadee family is growing quickly. There may be as many as four little birdies plus mom in this photo!

Mark took this picture using flash photography, and got hell from me. LOL. Mama chickadee came out, flew around but fortunately went back to the nest. 

Did you know "Lassie" was filmed in Central Florida?

Alexander Springs is just 6 miles from us in Central Florida! Ha. Who knew!

The Hideaway was great tonight!  The waitress remembered Jill likes a wine glass & not a plastic cup and came over with one for her! Great service. The two singers were really good ... Lester & ??? ... they sang some songs we hadn't heard in years. 

A perfect night sky framed Jill & Bob. Nice pic ... looking good!

Tomorrow ... boating to Tavares where there's a Blueberry Festival going on along with an antique air show. 

Ta ta. I hope your FRIDAY was fab!

Snuggle cuddles ... piglet & bunny ... Nighty-night.  

THURSDAY APRIL 16, 2015

Good morning. It's a bright beautiful day ... 73F at the moment. 

Randy phoned this morning to say that he was going shopping with Bob and Jill to Kohl's and Beall's today. Dawn is at work. Mark, Robbie and I will go over later for a visit! Yay. Yesterday was Bob and Jill's 43rd wedding anniversary! They are celebrating all weekend, but especially plan dinner at the Lakeside Inn in Mount Dora Saturday night! 

Sue and Wayne had dinner at Pier 66 last night with Rose and spotted Steven Spielberg's yacht at the dock. 

It's the yacht with the dark hull ... the Seven Seas, 300' long. South Florida is amazing for people watching. Haha. 

Jim sent photos of his cottage project from Tuesday's filming. It is taking shape and coming along beautifully.

I see the film crew is riding the inclinator! 

Mark was busy today building a ramp to load the lawnmower onto the truck. It's going in for an ignition rebuild. The ramp will be handy for loading other items during the year, I guess. 

I talked to Sue today, and Rose was just leaving Pompano Beach to start her drive back to Canada. The weather has warmed up quite nicely and she's ready to be home again. (Sue's going to miss her!) 

It's now 445 and we're on our way to visit with Bob & Jill at Randy's; too bad Dawn is still at work. 

Well, it was a fun visit with Bob & Jill. We heard some crazy stories from last September's wedding and laughed a lot. Randy kept busy puttering about the stove, making soup. Dawn was working until 8 o'clock ... so we didn't get to see her. (We heard from Randy that she's been offered a transfer to the Mount Dora store! So, she has a big decision to make!)

Bob took this picture of King Randy enjoying the afternoon on his dock. It's apparent this isn't the first afternoon in the sun! LOL 

TONIGHT, the Winnipeg Jets are playing Anaheim in the first game of the hockey playoffs. Mark wants to watch ... but I hear snoring and the game won't start for another half hour. Haha. 

Well that's all folks. ;-)

WEDNESDAY APRIL 15, 2015

Oh it's an early start to my day. I awoke hungry for a piece of buttered toast at 3:30 ... a good sign after feeling so crummy yesterday. Mark and I watched the season premiere of "Deadliest Catch" last night ... one of our favorite reality shows and didn't go to bed til midnight. 

Today's plans include the post office with 3 packages ... and a visit with Sherry, our local postal lady. She's wonderful! After that is Dr. Pruitt; our dentist, for cleanings and checkups. Then, the day will unfold by itself. Haha. 

Mark reminded me of the heavy duty antibiotics I must take before a dental cleaning (knee replacements) and I KNOW how they make me feel. Crummy. So, since I'm not up to par this week, I postponed my dental cleaning for a week. Mark kept his appointment. 

Florida at her finest in the morning!

I called Sue today to see how she's doing on the Shih Tzu rescue bowling fund raiser that's coming up this Saturday. Both she and Wayne had been at the dermatologist and had more pre-cancerous spots removed. Getting old ain't for sissies!!! I told Sue how I had been feeling this week, and she reminded me that once before, I had pancreatitis! Ha ha. Yes, I do remember that!!! After we had talked, I began thinking what I had eaten and drank prior to the attack. . Saturday, at Hurricane's, I had 12 deep-fried shrimp in buffalo sauce, Parmesan encrusted french fries in butter, black iced coffee, two glasses for good measure ... Sunday, I ate a chicken salad, and drink wine while sitting by the water for happy hour. Monday, I wasn't feeling very well, but went bowling anyway. I just felt bloated with a sore back and a sore stomach! (Duh ... am I dumb or what?) After bowling, Randy and Dawn came over and we had Mark's cauliflower and broccoli cheesy casserole, a Kale Cesar salad and chicken ... all washed down with wine! Yes, no wonder my pancreatitis flared up. Fried foods, spicy foods, butter, hard to digest foods, and wine. Yes, Sue, I will put this in the blog. I am an idiot. LOL. (I must write a list and staple it to my forehead.)

Randy phoned at 3:30 to invite us for happy hour and then go to Ruby Street Grill to listen to the jazz tonight. It sounds like a lot of fun, but we're going to pass today, and hope tomorrow I'll be right as rain. (Egad, I HATE to miss a party!!!)

Mark saw this funny on Facebook. I had to laugh!!!

So that was our day. Pretty darn good. Hope yours was too. Ta ta.
