Woohoo!

ISU men just won the Big 12 Championship!  It was a horrible game for us.  We missed our first 16 shots and still came back to win it all!  Way to go, Cyclones!!

This has been a wonderful day.  We started out having breakfast at the clubhouse.  Dave helped do dishes and after noon, we headed to John's Pass to take a dolphin cruise.  It was a beautiful day for a boat ride and seeing all of the dolphins and birds made the day even more beautiful.  The dolphins were feeding today and now the water is starting to warm up, so there were many of them!  It was just a wonderful cruise!

After our cruise we went to Sudi & Howard's for ribs.  It was really a great evening.  We sat outside in their screened in lanai - great ribs, great friends, great key lime pie, and a great evening!  Thanks again, S & H!!

 He stabbed his fish!!

 Flipping and chasing the fish.

So cool!!!

Fun Friday

Bob, Ann, Dave and I went to Venice today to see my cousin, Sue, and her mom, my aunt Janie!  Sue was giving lessons in the horse arena, so we got to watch her do her thing.  She's 1 year younger than I am, but she still rides in the speed events and trains 18 horses.  She and her mom brought 5 horses down here, so that was a light load.  Her mom is 88 and doing very well.

It was a beautiful day to sit outside around horses and family!  Traffic was horrendous, but we made it there and back, thank God!

Tonight I didn't even play cards.  I wanted to watch my Cyclones in  the Big 12 tournament semi-finals.  We won!!  We finally beat Kansas this year!!  It was an exciting game!

Down Day

Sometimes you need a down day and today was mine!  Dave went to his dad's and since Roberta  was busy today, I stayed home by myself!  I like days like this every once in a while.  I didn't even have breakfast until about 10:30!

I took a bunch  of pictures of George today.  Since Bobbi and Alan were out of town, I took hotdogs out to give to him.  He thought he was starved!  He ate 2 whole dogs!!

He's a really cool bird!  He was so close to me that I think I could have touched him!

If it's raining...

it's probably Wednesday.  This year we changed out shuffleboard day to Wednesday from Friday.  We have missed many Wednesdays because it was raining.  For some reason it only rains on Wednesday this year!  So again, we didn't get to shuffle because it rained off and on today!

Poor George (our resident white egret).  Bobbi & Alan are gone and he's just been hanging around.  We don't have hot dogs, so we couldn't feed him.  Others in the 'hood thought he might eat bread, but he doesn't like bread.  He's spoiled.  After our bike ride, Dave rode over to the grocery store to get some hot dogs.  George ate 2 and still hung around for more.  Hopefully he'll be here tomorrow and we can feed him again.

Cards were bad again.  We were ahead 3 out of 4 hands, but we really lost the 4th hand and that's what counts.  They caught us without our wildcards and without another red canasta, so we went down 1000 points immediately.  Oh well, maybe next time.

B & B

This was another B&B day.  Unfortunately they're winding down.  I did pretty well at bowling today.  I started out bad, but came back with a couple of decent games.  I ended up with a 109, a 154, and a 135.  Plus, I won one hand of poker with three 6's, so I won $8.00!  At bingo tonight, though, I wasn't as lucky.  I was close several games, but that darn Bill just couldn't draw out my numbers!

I was really dizzy today.  I need to find a chiropractor down here.  I was dizzy a few times when I was bowling, but after lunch I was really bad.  I tried to lie down, but that made it worse.  I ended up sitting in my chair for an hour and then it just went away.

I came home from bingo and made a couple dozen cookies for a bake sale tomorrow.

Was this Monday?

I guess it was, but for some reason it didn't feel like a Monday.  Today we met with a realtor to see some mobile homes in another mobile home park...on the water.  We saw 6 properties - really liked 3 of them (2 on the water and 1 off).  We're not ready to do anything at this time, but at least we have an idea of what's out there and what we're going to need to spend in order to be happy.  Hopefully there will be something there when we're ready to buy.  One of these places even had a boat that came with - and it was a "party barge"!

This evening I played cards and I won!  Tomorrow's another B&B day and I've got to bake something for the bake sale.  So it's going to be a busy day!

Beautiful Day

It was truly a beautiful day here!  It was mid-70s with plentiful sunshine and a gentle breeze.  Dave and I went to church and for once I didn't freeze - the A/C never did come on...maybe enough people have complained about it being cold.

After church, we came home and ate leftovers.  Then Dave went outside to do some work around the place.  I washed windows and played my games.  We ended up taking two bike rides again today - it was just too nice to stay inside!  We had the windows open all day!

Today was my niece, Vicki's, birthday, so I got to talk to her.  Kaylee and Clayton set a wedding date in June of 2015 and I found out that my ex-boss's son and his wife are having twin girls.  Big news day!
