Mark and I met Randy and Dawn at Olivia's for breakfast at 10 o'clock. It's one of our favorite restaurants ... and is closing May 31 as Olivia is retiring after 8 years business. Either business was extremely good, or not. LOL. We will certainly miss her unique place. Mark mentioned I might like to make an offer on a huge dining room table in the restaurant. I asked Olivia if she would sell the table. She told me the story of her table. It originally belonged to a local family with 12 children. Then the table was sold to a family with eight children. Olivia bought it from her friend when all the kids left home. After the table joined the mix of furnishings, she noticed a couple enter the restaurant and do a "double take" at the table. She watched as the man walked to one corner of the table and slid his hand underneath. He smiled at the woman and nodded. Olivia asked them, "Can I help you with something?" That was when she learned the original history of the table. Anyway, it's now coming to our home to be enjoyed at Thanksgiving and Christmas and all sorts of fun gatherings! You see, Olivia and I made a deal. We will pick up the table June 2nd. What fun! (What an expensive breakfast that turned out to be!) LOL
After 5 years of ventilating our attic when the temperature rose to 90F, our industrial fan bit the dust. So, it was a ride to Home Depot to invest $120 in a new fan. Robbie came along for a nice car ride. (He and I sat in the car while Mark shopped!)
At 3 o'clock, we met Randy & Dawn at our bowling alley for some hilarity. It was a day of "averages" for all. Never mind, we burned a calorie ... and only $2 in the gutter ball fund, compliments of Dawn and me. LOL
Tonight, Randy & Dawn are going to the Hideaway to hear the music. Mark and I are staying home and BBQing a pork loin. Yum.
Sue and Wayne are still in Petrosky, Michigan ... poking about and relaxing in their motorhome.
That's our news for today!
This awesome photo was taken last night of the rope waterspout over Lake Okeechobee.
Gorgeous, eh!!!
Ancient Aliens is coming on the History Channel. Ta ta.
Nice Blog. I hope we are with you two at Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. It would be strange and sad to not celebrate with our American Family . Depending on the weather we need to go the Bahamas to keep our American cruising permit before Dec. 20th. What a stupid rule.Anyways , keep a couple of seats open at that new table. Wish we were there to help move it.
