Busy Day....

We were up 8am and took showers. We left around 9:30am and headed for LabCorp, so I could give blood. We then went to Trader Joe's to look for meringue cookies, which they were out of. We then went to Ikea and picked up a few things and headed home. We stopped by McDonald's to get some cheeseburgers as they had them on sale today. We got a call this afternoon asking us to join the Wednesday Bar-b-que that a group of people have in the building. I guess you have to be invited the group to join, so it looks like we are in. We are starting to meet more and more people in the building and beginning to fell like part of the group.

Bust for breakfast...

Beth was up and at church with Bill and Betty by 8am. I took a shower and headed to the lobby as they were going to pick me up and go to breakfast. Betty's stomach was acting up, so breakfast was cancelled. Beth and I did go to Einstein Bagels for breakfast and came home. We went to Bed Bath & Beyond and to Lowe's after lunch. We spent the rest of the day getting the spare room and Bathroom ready for guests. Dawn will be here in 2 weeks.

Busy day...

We were up around 8:30am. We got dressed and walked to breakfast. We came home and took showers. We were going to presentation of Joseph and the techo-colored robe. We were offered tickets as some one in the group from the building could not go. It was great fun and we all went to dinner afterwards. It was a great time and we meet so new people in the building.

Errands...

We were up around 7:30am. I went downstairs to use the treadmill and Beth went for her walk. We had breakfast and showers. We headed to Joann's, Famous Footwear, Costco, and the grocery store. We were back home for lunch. Not much else today as it was a sunny but chilly day.

Wii...

We were up around 8:30am. Beth went for her walk and I went to the treadmill. We had smoothies for breakfast and took showers. We went to the hardware store to return the locks that were not needed and then to Joann's Fabric store as they had a sale on cricut stuff. We came home and had some lunch. Beth was suppose to help Betty with a project, but she had to work. So she sat on the deck and had cocktails. I had put a roast in the crock pot for dinner and it was yummy.

Laundry...

We were up around 8:30am. We had breakfast and Beth began changing the locks on all the doors. I worked on organizing my pictures on the computer. I started Trying to do laundry at 12:30pm. I finally got my first load in around 3:30pm and finally finished around 6:45pm. That is one of the things I hate doing here as it is a hit or miss on the washer. It was a nice day, but still red and purple flags on the beach. So we sat our deck and had drinks watching the ocean waves.

OH NO...

We were up around 8:30 and got dressed. We took our morning walk to the grocery store to get some applesauce for a breakfast smoothie. We stopped by to see the beach on the way home and the waves were about 5 ft high and were really rolling. We got home and Beth a call from the blinds guy and he came by around 11:30am to talk about blinds. After taking some measurements, we selected a style and put a deposit down. We will have blinds for the lining room in a couple weeks. we will get the rest next year. We then went to Staples and the Whole food store. We came home and Beth's laptop had been acting up, so after dinner we took it to Best Buy. Something is wrong with the screen and the have to send it is to get fixed. We should get it back in 2 weeks and no cost. It was a little cloudy and warm, but no rain.

Car back...

We were up around 8:30am. I got dressed and went downstairs to walk. Beth made some calls and had her breakfast. I took a shower and had breakfast. We then left and went to the hardware store to get a different lock and then on to Total wine. We then went to BJ's wholesale club and were back home by 2pm. The called to say the car was ready and Beth went to pick it up. I think we are going to take it the dealership in PA to make sure everything is correct. The accountant called and needs me to determine all my contributions for the IRA money I have for the last 20 years. REALLY...I think I have all my tax returns in PA, but it might be a guessing game. It was another day of rough tides and man of wars.

Clean up...

We were up around 8:30am. We took showers and Beth went to 11am mass. I started a couple loads of laundry and began cleaning the bathrooms and the rest of the house. Beth wanted to put the new locks on the doors, but found they were not the right size. I made beef and cabbage for dinner and boy was it yummy. Beth was able to find a stir fry seasoning package that added just the right amount of flavor. I will be getting some of the packets to take home. I spent some time looking for a new project on Pinterest and found a couple things. Beth talking to the dealership on Saturday and they hope to have the car ready tomorrow, but don't hold your breath.

Play day...

We were up around 8:30am and took showers. Beth had really bad blisters on the back of her heels, so we took the car to breakfast. After breakfast, we went to CVS for bigger Band-Aids and some meds for the blisters. We came home and I started playing with the cricut machine and making designs for Beth's huggies. She wanted beach items on them and I got 4 of the 6 completed. I was able to get the house cleaned and then back to playing. I finished the fish pictures similar to the turtle and will seed to you, Mom, tomorrow. We ordered pizza for dinner and it was yummy.

Laundry...

We were up around 8:30am. We got dressed and went for a mile and a half walk. We came back and I started laundry while Beth took her shower. I then went to take mine and found the light switch would not shut off. So Beth went to Lowe's to get a new one and we replaced all the light bulbs in both bathrooms with more efficient ones. I finished the laundry around 2pm and we then went to Hobby Lobby and then to Super Target. Beth called about her car and it is still not ready. Boy is she pissed. We had burgers for dinner and waffle fries. It was a nice day with mostly sun shine and a few sprinkles.

A day at the beach...

We were up around 8am. Beth went for her walk and got a hair cut. I started packing things for the cooler to take to the beach. When Beth got home, we changed and headed to the beach. It was a nice calm day and with green flags. We staked out our spot and headed to the water. It was a little chilly, but we could get used to it. We had some lunch and just chilled for the next couple hours. We came back to the condo and took showers. We had a board meeting tonight to elect new board members. It took an hour, but we got the people we wanted. There was not a qualm so we could not have a meeting to talk about the new elevator.

Tornado this monring....

We got up around 6:30am as we could here the rain and thunder. We found out we had tornado warnings and boy oh boy was the wind really bad. It blew over the platform the guy were using next door and blew several boards off the side of the building. We later found out that several trees were uprooted and power lines were done a couple of blocks away. After it was all done, I went down stairs to walk on the treadmill and Beth went to the bank only to find out they had no electric. We had some breakfast and I had a hair appointment at 12:3opm. I was way past due and it showed. I really like the lady that did my hair and will go back to here in 5 weeks again. We came home and rested a bit before headed to the melting pot for dinner. It was Beth's birthday dinner and it was so yummy. It did get to 84 today and suppose to be sunny again tomorrow. We are headed to the beach tomorrow if all goes well.

Happy Birthday Beth...

Beth was up early as she had the car to get looked at. There was some noise that was driving her crazy. Come to find out it needed new shocks and suspension system. The had to get a part from Jacksonville, so we got a loaner until tomorrow. I went down and did my walk on the tread mill and then did a load of laundry. Beth was home around lunch time and we went to Chipotle's, Beth's favorite. We then came home for awhile before going to see Dr. Mike for adjustments. We then came home. It was very windy day and rained off and on all day and the beach had yellow and purple flags again. A special Happy Birthday to my wife.

Happy Valentine's Day...

We were up around 8am. Beth went to 9:30am mass and then came home. I went to Publix for some fried chicken for lunch and we were both craving it. We took a walk to go get some ice cream and sat on the beach awhile. It was a yellow and purple day as the waves were high and the man of war were out again. We came home and both took a little nap. It was 78 degrees today and hoping the water temp will be up so we came do some swimming. I fixed roasted veggies and pork chops for dinner. Yum yum

Adventure...

We were up around 8am. We got dress and headed out for Breakfast reward day. After breakfast, we walked around to get our 2 miles in and it was a very nice day. We wanted to go back to Hobby Lobby and took a different route on our adventure. We saw a lot of really nice houses along the intercostal waterway. The high today got to 79 and bright sun. We talked to Dawn and she said it was freezing cold at home. So glad we are in Florida.

Heat again....

I got up and went to walk on the treadmill around 8am. I made my 2 miles in 54 minutes and came back upstairs. Beth was up and having her coffee. She went on her walk  and I took a shower and did one load of laundry. We then decided to go the Super Wal-Mart on Atlantic Blvd. It was a lot nicer and had everything we wanted. It will be where we shop from now on. We were going to have cheese quesadilla for dinner with one small problem, we did not have the quesadilla maker at the condo. So we had grilled cheese and soup and will get the maker next week. It was finally warm weather today and got up to 78 degrees.

IKEA shopping...

We picked up Betty and headed out to Ikea around 10am. We had a great time shopping with Betty and headed home around 2pm. We had some lunch and then I started working on my turtle project. I will post pictures tomorrow. I fixed lasagna and garlic bread for dinner. It was bright sun shine today, but cold. We both had to wear long pants, yuck.

What a mess...

Beth was up at 7am as today was some day of church thing. I got up and got dressed as the electrician was going to be here at 9am. Beth got home around 8:45am and I went downstairs to walk. I came back up at 10:30am and the electrician was still not here. Beth called at 11am and still no answer. I went to try and do a load of laundry and what a mess that was. Let's just say that Wednesday is not a good day for laundry. The electrician finally showed up at 11:30am. We explained what we wanted and off to work he went. He could not speak very good English, but enough so we understood each other or at least we thought so. So 2 hours later we got the one electrical outlet fixed and our cable wire around the ceiling, but not fished through the wall as we had asked. We tried to tell him it was a solid plaster wall and to go through the drywall wall and some how that got all messed up. The holes he made for the opening near the air vent we bigger than they needed to be, but the crown molding will hide that. So we will not be using that company again. Beth went out for her walk and to walk off some of her frustration. She ran into Betty, our friend on the 9th floor, and she came to see the damage. She gave us a name of a couple of people she used for her crown molding work, her door guy, and her window guy. I finally finished the laundry around 4pm and Beth took a nap. We had pancakes for dinner as it is the start of meatless Fridays. Beth was able to get the storage unit put together in the garage and we have to get a couple brick to raise it up off the floor incase of flooding. Dawn said they had 5 inches of snow at home and the roads were not too bad. It will be bitter cold the next few day, so we are so glad we are not there.

Hobby Lobby...

WE were up around 8am. I went downstairs and did my walking on the tread mill. Beth came down a little later and was going to do her walking outside. We found we are alright with walking separately and might do that for awhile. I came back and took a shower and after Beth took her shower, we left and went to Hobby Lobby. I have several project I am working on and needed a few things. We then went to Home Depot and got a storage unit for the garage. That will allow us to store some stuff down there that we don't use all the time. We went to the 26 degree brew pub for dinner. We found they did not serve food, but you could call and get it delivered. We passed, but Beth had a sample of 4 of their beers. We then went to 5girls for a burger. It was just an ok and will not need to go back again.

Cool today...

We were up and out the door by 9am. We walked a different direction and made our 2 miles. We came home and I did a load of laundry. I found that instead of waiting for a specific day I would just do it when I had a load or so and the washer was free. The guy came about the electrical and will be back on Wednesday to fix everything. I went to Wal-mart to pick up a few things and came home. Beth was taking her afternoon nap. I made beef fried rice for dinner. It was good but will make some changes next time. It was chilly today and only got to 66 degrees. It will only be in the low 60's the next few days. We still worn shorts but had to put on jackets.

Great game...

We were up around 8:30am. Beth went to get donuts for breakfast. It was a little chilly outside as we had to leave the building for the fire alarm. It seems someone pulled the alarm by accident. We spent the rest of the working on some things around the condo. We went downstairs around 6pm for the Super bowl party. There were around 40 people there and it was a good time. Congrat to Denver for a great win.

Not Much...

I got up around 8am and Beth was up by 9am. We took showers and had breakfast. We did not do much the rest of the day. we went to dinner at Longhorn as we had a coupon and then to Best Buy. I needed a new monitor of my computer and they had some on sale. We then came home and watched some TV until bed. So we did not much today...

Breakfast...

We were up around 7:30am. We got dressed and headed out the door. It was Friday breakfast reward day. I toll Beth that if we walked every morning, we would get breakfast at the café on Friday. So we got breakfast and walked our 2 miles. It was a little chilly today, but we had on shorts and long sleeve t-shirts. We came home and took showers and then headed get some lunch, to the bank, and then to Costco. We stopped at Rooms to Go to look at the stuff they had, but I wans not impressed. We came home and Beth called and electrician to come look at our plugs. The bottom one on a couple of the electrical plugs do not work and we want him to feed the cable wire done the wall. He will be here Monday around 2pm. We had chef salad for dinner and are going to watch a movie.

Laundry...

We were out the door around 9am to do our morning walk. We took a different route this morning. We found that we were one of the youngest people walking and we were the slowest. Oh well, I guess you have to start somewhere. We came home and had some breakfast. I then did 5 loads of laundry. The took most of the rest of the day. I fixed chicken and roasted veggies and they were sure good. Beth is having issue with her phone , so we may have to go to the Verizon store tomorrow. It was another nice day, but the strong rip currents and Man of war kept us from the beach again.

Started walking...

We were up at 8am and got dressed. We decided to start walking every morning. So we headed out and I was able to walk across the draw bridge and then we toured some of the shops on the other side of the inlet. We walked about 2 miles and will try and keep that same pace for awhile. We came home and cleaned the house then took showers. We then went to the post off to mail some stuff to the kids and sent Kyles's birthday card. We then went to the whole food store and the grocery store. Beth took a nap and I tried but no luck. It was a nice day with the sun shinning and temperatures in the low 80's. We could not go to the beach as Man of war are out again and the sea was rough.

Day of adventure...

We were up around 8am. We had breakfast and took showers. We went to target to get a new trash can and several other thing. We then decided to headed up to Boca Raton. We are going to the Melting Pot for Beth's birthday and wanted to see where it was. We then drove around and found an indoor mall by the Stir Crazy restaurant. We want to try them as they were suppose to be like the Mongolian BBQ they have in KC. It was good but not the same. The had a Container store right next door and we went in for some shopping. We then came home and put everything away. It was a great day of driving around and shopping. It was 60 degrees and sunny all day.

Rainy...

We were up around 8am and it was rainy and would all day long. We took showers and headed to BJ's wholesale club. We stocked up on meat and a few other things then came home for lunch. We had appointments to see Dr. Mike for adjustments. We then went to staples and came home. I fixed pork chops and salad for dinner.
