The annual meeting at our club was interesting yesterday. Very professional - you would have thought it was for a larger corporation. Of course the board members were all former executives or business owners so they run the club that way. The 3 new board members are the ones we voted for and the new president is one of the nicest people we have gotten to know here (he formerly owned a large business).

I made that TikTok feta/pasta recipe which is so easy last night but added extra tomatoes and baby spinach. Easy, tasty, and there are leftovers for a couple more meals. Yeah! It was warm enough last night that we could eat out on the lanai for the first time in a couple of months.

Today looks like it will be warm and sunny. The water on the marina is completely still this morning so is reflecting the homes and boats around it. Very picturesque.

Beach Club today, maybe on the sand vs poolside. Tonight we are going to the best rated restaurant in town as we have a gift certificate which my SIL gave us for Christmas. Loving that warm weather has returned. DD, the forecast going way out looks great too.

Have a tranquil Tuesday!

When my MIL died she also did not have one child in her will because of a large loan she had given him at the time the will was drawn. By the time she died, he had paid off the loan so her other children all agreed to split the estate equally including the missing son (they inherited per the will terms, then each child wrote a check to the missing one). Thank goodness there was no animosity around it.

It really easy to overlook these details. When FIL passed away, there was a life insurance policy that did not list my youngest SIL as she did not exist when he took out the policy. Luckily she has nice siblings and they gave her her rightful share of the policy. A divorced Uncle died, and he had left a huge life insurance policy in his former wife's name. (Not part of the settlement). Did he just forget? I think not. I think he wanted her to have it. But whatever his intention, it sure angered his evil second wife!

I bet she does (have a fire extinguisher)!

My 1st pony was called Midnight. He was a Shetland/Welsh cross. He had a little more height than a Shetland, but everything about him was Shetland, right down to his ornery disposition. But, boy, did that pony teach me to ride and have a good seat and strong grip. He dumped me so many times and then he'd stand and laugh at me!

Next up was Johnny. He was a black MorAb. I loved him, but he was a sponsored pony and his owner decided to sell him. After that I moved up to Quarter Horses and competed in trail and western pleasure and took stock/cutting horse lessons. I'll see if I can find a picture of me riding Danny at the Jr. Grand National and post on TT.
