Hello - hope everyone has had a fun weekend...we sure did.:)

Yesterday went to WW, than took Brandy to the dog park for a quick visit. Lots of dogs at 8:30 and a little clique. Some dogs were a little pushy, but Brandy did okay. Took her home, cleaned the pool, then headed off to St. Augustine. It was a great day. Overcast, hot but not the sweaty hot. Picked up some fruit and sandwiches at publix and just enjoyed the day. Around 2 the sun came out, the sand got hot and we had to put up the umbrella. We went into town about 4:30, to Columbia restaurant, had my first mojito (thanks to all the talk;) here). Dinner was yummy...since I'm watching what I eat, had a salad and the lamb ribs (appetizer). Gary had the Paella, it was good (had a couple of bites). Also, did a pitcher of the white sangria made with cava (sparkling wine). Oh boy, was that good. Got back to the parking garage and all he!! broke lose. It was quite the drive home...rain, thunder and very large puddles.

Today, just worked around the house. Gary mowed the lawns (we have a good 1/2 acre + of lawns) and I took care of the plants in the screen room around the pool. Went to El Taxco, for the best mexican food, came home, paid bills and made a pineapple upside down cake. All in all a great weekend.

K2-Gary still loves his job and weekends off. I'm getting used to having him around 2 days in a row. He comes home almost every day for lunch (even though I pack it for him daily=huh) and watches a little TV and lets Brandy out.

Raining pretty good now...no thunder/lightening just a lot of rain.

Hope everyone had as much fun as we did. Enjoy your Sunday evening. Hope Amy wins tonight on Food Network Star. Rory reminds me of John Elway with her horse teeth! I may copy and paste on the other thread, so if you read this again sorry.

[size=large]Okay ......who STOLE my nice post??? #$%^&()[/size]

Had a good time at my Brothers place and in the pool. Good to visit with my SIL and Niece and her hubby and my Great Niece. WOW......too much to remember.

PQ: Now tell me......you're watching your weight and making Pineapple Upside down Cake........NOT A GOOD THING kiddo. How could you possibly NOT EAT ANY!! :chef

It was a perfect day here. DRY, HOT, SUNNY, no wind, no humidity, no muggy air. All our tomato plants and flower boxes were dry from the intense heat when we got home. The poor huge Elephant plant was drooping down so far it looked almost funny. Had to WATER WATER WATER everything.

Hope you all had a fun day.

I'm tired and off to get something to drink.

Have a GOOD FAST WEEK all you WORKING FOLK.

Sounds like you need a drip system for your plants, K2....you know, you can get battery powered timers that will turn your hose on and off.

Sounds like a great day, PQ. Must be nice to have regular weekends.

GOOD MORNING!!

Yup, SAN.....I could use that "Drip System! Actually, looked into it last year when I had way too many HANGING BASKETS to care for, but it's expensive and we'd have to unhook it and drain it because of the WINTER FREEZE we go through here. Better to just find someone to come by and water the plants if we ever did go away in the Summer.

It's like the "DOG DAYS of SUMMER" here the past 3 days. JUST PERFECT. Today is yet another one of those days. This is like living in San Diego but not so far away. Hee Hee. It's amazing how NO HUMIDITY can make a day so beautiful.

I'm going to trim my 6 low shrubs around the Sargents Crab tree today since it's so nice out. Only have to trim them 2 times a year and it's TIME!!

Hope the rest of the GANG has a good week.

DID EVERYONE GO ON A CRUISE AND FORGET TO TELL ME??? =huh Where are you all??

later...........:wave

Hi all........

Been out this morning and just got home...........had to drop my car off at the body shop for its repairs........picked up my rental(BB--thanks Laurie for the BMW;))--actually its a Colbalt....not a bad car....then we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast....You can probably guess what Dennis is doing now(cutting the grass!!)....

Last night we went to the Caribbean restaurant in the Villages........it sucked......I had fried clams and it reminded me of HoJos........Dennis had coconut shrimp and it equally sucked....all frozen Sysco food.......should have eaten at TooJays....

Anyway, hung around listening to the music....had the inlaws with us..hoping myabe they will want to buy in there and then we can inherit it...heheh

So did everyone that likes Food network like the end?? I did......The one I wanted to win,won.....wont say more just in case.......

Sounds like everyone had a super weekend.........

PQ in St Augustine...............Ruttie at KSC.........BB in Ocala........and K2 at a pool party/.

Oh BB....heard the news about someone moving....bet that makes you sad......( I wont say anymore till you do)........saw a pic of Addy and she is soooooooo adorable.....

Back later on.........

Hi PH!!

Sounds like you and Dennis are busy today!

I watched the Food Channel thingy last night too. I'm with you and your choice too. Although, I really don't think either of them could cook worth a darn. Not much to choose from this time around. I would have "CANNED" all of them and started over.

BB: Hurry up and tell us WHO is MOVING........PH, you're not very nice for holding out on the ending of that one!!
(I see BREEZE is on here right now. Gotta hit the refresh button and see if she tells us who's moving) =huh

Kasey: Hope you're not suffering over there with a SUMMER COLD.

I really need to get off of this thing.

K2, I thought that you got the same Email PH and I got. It's Bert that is moving away......going someplace where he can be fuzzy and not get a lot of grief about it. That's why BB didn't post, she's pretty shook up about it. Sorry I didn't pass on the Email.

Somebody is pulling my leg. SAN!!

And PH.....I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about??

I must be just too tired from all the work I did outside today. Man I'll be taking those Motrim and Advil right along with you San. I can feel the muscles that haven't been used for a long time already.

Later......

Well PH, she didn't say to keep it to ourselves about Bert leaving.....so, I am taking it upon myself to tell as many people as I can.

I think the Tylenol has done more good than the Advil for me, K2.

SAN: I think the "PILLS" are affecting your BRAIN instead of your BACK problems!! :girly

BB.......is going to really kick your 'butt' for spreading her grief all over the boards.

Wonder if she'll need a ROOMY for all those cruises she has scheduled that Bert won't be going on. I'd be willing to take Berts place if she just wanted someone along to talk to and go to the CL room!!

SAN: Drink a LOT of WATER.....it helps with anything that ails you. And try the laying on the floor with the legs up on the couch seat. When you go to bed tonight put a couple of pillows under your knees if you lie on your back or between your knees if you lie on your side.

Happy Monday, if there is such a thing.
K2 - I agree with you on the Food Network Star...I'm glad Amy won (hope I didn't ruin it for anyone), but I don't think either of them deserved to win. The talent wasn't as good as last year. I love Guy Fiari (sp?), last year's winner. Don't worry about the pineapple upside down cake...desserts I can resist...it's cheese that I can't resist. Love cheese...On a cruise, I always get the cheese plate for dessert, great with wine. Yummy.

Had lunch with Tracy, they've been out for 8 days, so it was there first day back for more than 5 hours. It's just been very busy for them, at least they have a cruise to look forward to in December.

Brandy went to the vets today, and has lost almost 9 lbs::eek: The thyroid medicine seems to be working and re-charged her metabolism. Plus, I'm sure the swimming, extra walks, cutting out people food helped. She really has a lot more energy.

Well, going to check the other threads and watch HK.

Went to get my tires Rotated and the guy said I'd have to come back tomorrow morning it was just too late to start that tonight! He did have all the work areas full with cars.

so then I went to Barnes & Noble and looked at books and magazines for a few hours.

It's still sooooo nice here tonight at 10:00 pm. Unbelievable day and night. Might get some showers tomorrow, but ya can never trust the weather people lately around here.

Have a great day tomorrow all!!

I cant believe you ruined Food Network Star for me,PQ........hahah.........JK....now about HKs......what an ending......so many tears...

Good going on the Brandy diet....Holly has lost only 3 since we started........I think it takes longer on a small dog...think she has maybe 2 to go...


San----sure go start trouble on the FL thread and then leave me to clean up your mess.......

BB-he made me do it.......I swear.......it was all his fault.......(Oh BTW--if you havent read the FL lately,dont bother................boring as usual....)

Siging off for the night...
