Sunday

I love Sundays!  Great sermon today!  Plus two little babies (cousins) were baptized.  They were both so good! 

We ate at home today and Dave worked outside most of the day.  It was a hot and humid one here.  This evening we went to Gilley's for a welcome home party.  We sat outside - there were lots of gnats and heat!  We came home early because I was so hot and I wanted to watch the baseball game.  This game is making my stomach hurt.

Saturday

We had a fun day today.  After breakfast, we went to Sarasota to the Celery Fields in search of roseate spoonbills.  We didn't find any spoonies, but we saw a pie billed grebe, a red shouldered hawk, a glossy ibis, and several herons, etc.  When we'd had our fill of birds, we stopped at Bealls, and then had lunch at Woody's in Ellenton.  It was a gorgeous day to be out in nature.

Thursday

I got so excited that the Cubs won, I forgot to blog.  Dave had a dental appointment to get prep done for a crown.  When he got back, we took a bike ride.  Then we got settled in to watch the ballgame.  Loved watching the Cubs when Arrieta was pitching well.  It's a thing of beauty.

Today, Dave had an appointment at his urologist's office.  I cleaned up the master bath and vacuumed.  We went to Largo Nature Park for the first time this season.  We didn't see the alligator, but there were cormorants, a little blue heron, several moorhens including some juveniles, a pair of yellow crowned night herons, and a pair of limpkins. 

Came home for lunch and then we both took naps this afternoon and a bike ride before supper.  Love Thursdays - Thursdays are off days at the Ranch.

Good day!

We started our day off at the dentist's office for cleanings.  The Dr examined my teeth and I had no cavities!!  That's always wonderful!  Since we had good checkups, Dave decided we needed to go to the water to eat.  So we went to Seabreeze where Sudi & Howard joined us.  After lunch we went to the condo where they're living on the beach - what a view!! 

On the way home, we stopped at Wild Fields to pick up some meat and some chicken salad...sorry, Sudi, I didn't see any liver.  Got home in time for Dave to take a nap.  I also went to bingo tonight and it was a very good night for me! 

Now, if the Cubs could just rally for a win, the day would be about perfect.

Monday

Woohoo - we voted today!  Easy process - we stood in line for about 1 minute, got our ballots, voted, and were back in the car within 10 minutes.  The thing that took the longest was walking from the parking lot.  After lunch we went to Walmart to pick up some things.  Then Dave took down the big chandelier from over our table and put up our new light fixture.  Much better! 

Bob, Ann, Gary & Barb got here this afternoon.  It's nice having them next door.  I went to play cards.  We got beat tonight - just couldn't come up with wild cards!

Sunday

Another beautiful day here.  We went to 9:30 church - glad to be back listening to Pastor Jack's sermons and the wonderful praise music.  It was good!  After church we went to Lowe's for some things Dave needed.  Then we came home, changed clothes and were off doing what we do best.  Dave fixed Bob & Ann's toilet and I took a nap.  When he got home around 2:00 we ate lunch.  The rest of the day was spent just relaxing -Dave took his nap after lunch and when he woke up, we went for a bike ride.  I'm enjoying riding my bike this year!!
