I just realized that we are leaving Florida a month from yesterday. The weather has been so gorgeous that I'm not ready. I never am but then I feel the same way when I leave Cape Cod to return here for the season.
DSD arrived late yesterday afternoon. We went to Happy Hour at the club where she met a lot of people then to a quaint restaurant with music and good food where we ran into some more friends. Getting to know so many people has definitely contributed to my feeling that this is home.
This morning we have dog walking, water aerobics, then are going to the next town north for lunch and outdoor music. Beach Club for dinner tonight.
Have a serendipitous Saturday!

Definitely sounds like it is best to ignore the difficult neighbor after all her nasty remarks. Obviously you can't trust her to apologize and really mean it.

Of course the dogs had to dirty up the floors - that's their job isn't it LOL?
Now I have Purple Rain running through my head...

Your co-workers idea of going to a restaurant with your immediate group sounds like what I did with the people in my department. Much better than a big official send-off. After I left I didn't miss the work but I did miss the people.
I'm sure the coffee shop is also in the weekend plans?

That's pretty cool that you won't need so many drops. When my mother had it about 20 years ago she had that drop routine.

Yay for DH's retirement! Not too far from when Peps and DD retire.

I'm glad you had a good time with your friends. Does the new home truly feel like home now? I ask because the Cape house I sold in the fall was home to me and it has taken a while to replace it in my mind with this home. DH's cape house will never feel that way to me.

Beautiful day here! My friend Cathy came over to see my new outdoor furniture (she loved it!). She brought me the most beautiful bouquet of roses. She said it was just because it was Friday, but I think it was because or all the nonsense with my neighbor. So sweet.
Speaking of which, after the neighbors's last nasty text, I stayed silent (even though I wanted to send what I wrote out for you all the other day). Yesterday she texted me again saying, "My last text was a bit harsh and I'm sorry". A bit?! I did not answer this one either. I'm going to need more than that. No mention of all the other terrible things she's said and done. And given said situation is nowhere near to being resolved, I envision many more opportunities for her to attack me. So until she can demonstrate the ability to act like a grownup and acknowledges both her responsibility that create this whole fiasco and that I didn't deserve her nastiness, there will be no interaction with her if I can avoid it.
The power was out for several hours today, but thankfully I was mostly at my hair appt. Amazing how quiet it gets when nothing it powered. Peaceful. My roots are all de-skunked! And I have a TON of new hairs coming in, which is a relief, because I was really losing a bunch for a while there.
Tomorrow and Sunday is the Open Studio show in the area. You can go to artist's studios to see where they work and buy stuff. I won't be going to my neighbor's show! But heading out with Cathy tomorrow and my real estate agent/friend Sunday. Should be fun...
Anyway, take care!
Greetings all
Mixed cloudy day here but that is pretty common. Ok by me as I hate sticky hot weather. DH went to the Romeo lunch in Ferndale which is 35 miles away. No clue why they did that but we now have most of a pizza here. Ok by me as I had tv control for two hours. I did my walking at the gym (Purple Rain) and then went to the studio. I am out of wine stoppers at the gallery so forced myself to make 6. kiln fire day so the place is bustling.
Lots of interesting thoughts on TT for Becca and Bonnie. Much wisdom. When we were kids there was almost nothing known about obesity. Women had those reducing machines!!Wonder Bread was advertised as being good for you. I thought tv dinners were good. What a world.
So Paula your DH is on the retirement bandwagon too! Welcome aboard! Yum meatballs and mushroom gravy. And i bet you make them!
Guest itenerary Liz!. That is work! So is golf but the fun kind. You are lucky to have a group that is committed to making it fun and welcoming. New clubs still good?
DD that send off party sounds better than the other ceremony. My law firm office had a party for me with some gag gifts as well as a nice one. Enjoy the event.
Peps no eye drops? Who knew. Good luck with it all. Sorry your dad is more confused. At least he is expressing what he is feeling. Where are the shows?
Not much else. The dogs have managed to track dirt all over the freshly mopped floor. Story of my life.

I love the ideas your new golf president has presented. It's all about the comradery, which will make it more welcoming. Mentoring is great too. It seems like there is a lot to golf culture in addition to the actual playing that would be good to know.
Our discussion about retirement parties must have released something into the universe because one of my work bffs approached me today about a department send off and had a few dates and a restaurant in mind. Sweet :) So June 4th, after school.
No plans this weekend, except Sunday evening. We have tickets to a play. It's a new play, and its getting great reviews. I'm trying not to read too much so that I can be surprised/delighted by something novel.
