I'm baaaack!!! Boy, I sure had a lot of reading to catch up on. Haven't even gone over to the other board yet ... Came to our "special place" first!
It sure has been a busy and interesting couple of days. Hardly know where to begin, but here goes - Drove up to Ocala Friday and surprise, surprise the temperature dropped 25 degrees by the time we got there. I was freezing!! Still don't know what we have to pay Uncle Sam from the plaza deal. Accountant is still working on finding things we can deduct to lessen the pain ... ugh!
The party that night in Gainesville was a blast. It actually was a casino party with all the tables and slot machines. Everyone was given $5000 worth of phony chips to play with and at the end of the evening you turned your remaining chips in for tickets to a drawing. I actually won their top prize - A stay at a hotel in St. Augustine and dinner at a fancy schmancy restaurant there! Now we just have to decide when to go. We ended up staying the night at the hotel where the party was held, so got back home early Saturday afternoon.
Bert's cousin and his lady love arrived Sunday from their cruise on the Mariner. They had asked us if we wanted to go on the cruise with them. I am sooo glad we didn't go! They did nothing the whole cruise ... no ice show, no parades, no specialty restaurant, and so on. When I asked them what they did do, they said they walked around the ship a lot! How boring is that? They were just as bad while they were here. We took them over to our Grill for lunch and a drink. All they wanted was a glass of water! She doesn't like anything with any kind of spices and thinks all adult drinks are too strong. Again all they wanted to do was take walks. They drove us crazy constantly moving chairs around outside so they could sit in the sun!! They really are a couple of old farts!! Needless to say, I was very glad to see them leave this morning. So now things get back to normal around here.
Ruttie - I hope your BUG is over and done with. I hate when that happens. So what are you showing the kids this week? Testing is still going on, isn't it?
PH - That was so sweet! Glad Matt got back home without any problems. He sure did make good time.
KC - Bert's cousin's lady love has been a widow for 9 years. She never expected to meet anyone again when suddenly there he was. You just never know when that right person may appear.
San - Sounds like you and the rest of the males in the family have a fun trip planned. Enjoy!
K2 - You still down there shredding? I'll have to tell Kris about Costco's new electronics policy. They've returned a big screen TV and a high end digital camera something like 6 months after the purchase and had no questions asked. They always went to Costco just for the return policy, if you needed it.
I should get a move on. Time to strip the bed and make sure the room is back in order. Think I'm going to copy part of this message to the other board and save myself some typing.
