Soggy day

We woke up to rain this morning and it was still raining when we left for bowling.  Bowling was fun today...we had 24 bowlers!!  Wow!  I didn't bowl too badly - I kept hitting the pocket, though, and just couldn't buy a strike.  Dave bowled ok today, too.  It's lots of fun when there are lots of us bowling.  After bowling, we went to Acropol for lunch/breakfast.  I like it there.  Dave had Chicken Parmesan and I had bacon and eggs.

This afternoon, we both read and took a bike ride.  This evening it's getting chilly - it's down to 57 already.  I rode my bike to bingo, though, and didn't get too cold.  Again I didn't win, but Ann bingo'd 3 times!  We had a full house, so some of the games are $70 or so.  It'd be nice to win!

Fun day!

Dave and I went exploring today.  In a couple of years, if all goes well, we might move to Florida full-time.  That's our hope anyway.  So we went out looking at different areas where we might want to live.  We ended up at The Pub for lunch...had a great black & blue chicken salad.  Plus we saw a dolphin!

Right now I'm watching the ISU-KU game.  We are probably going to be 14-2 after this game.  KU just has way too much height for us!  Man, are they tall.  They're also in foul trouble though, so I'm waiting for Hilton Magic to kick in.  We're only down 6 with about 10 minutes left.  Let's go Cyclones!

Tomorrow's a B&B day and this weekend we go to Ft Lauderdale.  So I've got to think about that.

Sunday

We had another beautiful day here.  It wasn't real warm, but it was above 70.  This evening it got a little cool riding our bicycles and just now the heater kicked on.  It says it's 57 outside.

After church this morning, we left for Sarasota.  Since we're going to Ft Lauderdale on Friday, we needed to see Dad & Roberta sometime this week and today turned out to be the best day.  Dave cleaned their gutters while I worked on washing dishes.  We got home in time to ride our bikes and now we've been watching "Red" with Bruce Willis.  Pretty good movie - lots of violence, though.  Not mine kind of movie, but it wasn't too bad!

Nice day!

Dave and I had some shopping to do today, so we went out about 10:00.  We went to Bealls, Home Depot, Hammerhead Hardware, and somewhere else, but I can't remember where.  Ha!!  We came home and had a burger and a salad and I took 3 bike rides today!  Dave took 2 of them with me, but he took several rides up to the dumpster.  He cut limbs off the trees around our mobile today so had to dispose of them!

I didn't sleep last night - I was still up at 4:30.  I feel pretty good for having been up all of that time.  I took about a half hour nap this afternoon, but I'm trying hard to not nap!  This afternoon I went over to Bobbi & Alan's just for a visit.  That was fun!

I also watched my Cyclone men today.  Unfortunately we got beat by Oklahoma.  I know that we were bound to lose some day, but I didn't want it to be today.  :(  So I was bummed.  We had way too many turnovers and one of our best players went down with an ankle injury in the last minutes of the game.  I sure hope he's ready for the game against Kansas in a couple of days!

Winner!

Today was about perfect!  We went to the Legion, along with about 150 other people!  The place was PACKED!  Evidently all of the snowbirds are down here because traffic has increased and the restaurants are full at normal meal times!  The sun was shining beautifully and the water was beautiful!  It felt really good sitting outside, especially because it had been a few days since we've seen much sun!  It ended up being above 80 today, so everyone was out and about!

Tonight 12 of us played 7s.  Ann & I were partners and we won!!  It feels good to be a winner because I've been a loser for a week...maybe more.

Oops!

I guess I forgot to blog last night - sorry!  I came home from cards and it was close to 9:30 - that's really late for cards.  I guess I just got busy playing my games and forgot about writing anything.

Today's been a gray, rainy day.  Tomorrow's only got a 10% chance of rain, so hopefully we'll have some sun so we can go to the Legion.  I'm starting to lose my tan, so I need some sun!  I'm wondering if St Pete is still saying they average 361 days of sunshine a year, because we haven't had any for days it seems to me!  We need the rain, though, so it's okay.

We finally got out for a bike ride this afternoon - in between raindrops!  We even rode 2 laps instead of one.  It was warmer and felt good to be outside after having several winter days!

I mentioned cards - yuck again!  Losers!  Maybe I'll win tomorrow night!
