I Am A Blogger Slacker

I have not blogged since last week, I have been a bad girl. It seems like I never have enough time to attend to everything I have to do.
I worked on Sunday and Monday,very, very busy. On Tuesday we had our Christmas in January with the Red Hats. They are a nice bunch of ladies..In the evening Jerry and Jean Wessel had us over to their motorhome for dinner. They are only twelve miles away from us so we will probably see them often. We played WII and had a good time.
Wednesday we finished the final touches on Pam's house and it is ready for renters.In the evening we attended the Ohio Club with Pam and Rod and Eva and Bill. Lots of folks there, way too many for the amount of food brought in for the potluck. We were the next to last table to be called so needless to say we didn't get much but we had a good time.
Today we played shuffleboard and I did not win any games. Bud won one game but as a team we took fourteen out of twenty-four points.Tonight we are just chilling out and watching TV. I am working on some things for my digital scrapbooking competition with is next Wednesday...

Busy Week Again

Our good friend Dallas came to spend a few days with us and to scope out The Villages he has heard so much about. We took him on the trolley ride and all around and then we went to Katie Belle's for dinner and entertainment.
Me and Bud played shuffleboard on Thursday but just after we started it began to rain so they cancelled the games. It was really windy and about 6 p.m. it rained cats and dogs.
On Friday I worked and Bud and Dallas played golf. In the evening we took him, JoAnn and Leo to the SunRise Cafe to see "Last Time Out". They were great and the food was also pretty good.
Saturday we golfed with the neighborhood. They needed two subs so I asked Jane and Rod to play and don't you know it, they won all the money.
Tonight we got a dollar movie and went to Jane's house. It was called "Trucker" and sort of slow. Not the worse movie I have ever seen, not the best either.
Now I am relaxing and getting ready to go to bed...

Beautiful Tuesday

Well, it is a beautiful day in The Villages again. The weather has straightened itself out and it was warm and sunny all day.
I went to digital scrapbooking and out to lunch with Marguarite at Bob Evans. I like to eat there even thought I work there. I never get to eat while I am working. My boss walked by our table and took our bills and said she would take care of them. How about that! Then I went to Walmart, so busy there wasn't even any parking places. There must have been twenty five people in line at the pharmacy. As soon as I drove in the driveway John came over and said "Let's go for a walk so by the time we walked up the street once we had eight of the neighbors joining us. This is a wonderful neighborhood. Tonight we attended the Michigan Club. The entertainment was good but we have seen this group twice before and they never change their songs. Oh well, we will know better next time..
I just got off the phone with Aunt Susie or should I say Skype. It was so good to talk to her in person. She will be having her operation on Friday and Deano is coming up from Florida. That made her very happy.

Busy Week

It been a busy and long week here and I haven't had time to write. I did so many things I can't remember all of them but I will try. I worked on Monday. On Tuesday I did errands, and worked on Pam's house. We now have her kitchen done and it looks great. Her back splash really did the trick.
Thursday we shuffleboaded and we both won two games. On Friday I worked and then went to Bingo at Paradise. I didn't win...again.
On Saturday we golfed and I played quite well for me. As a team we were even so I don't think we won any thing. We didn't go to lunch as we hurried home and then eight of us went to Altamonte Springs to the IMAX theater to see AVATAR. It was better than I thought it would be but it definitely not my kind of movie. The special effects were wonderful and it even shook the seats. We had dinner at the Elephant Bar and it was great. On the way home we got pulled over by the cops for speeding. Jim was driving and he was very lucky, the cop didn't give him a ticket. He was going 62 in a 45 and it was raining. Every time we go somewhere the cops stop us...Ha Ha..
Today I worked, extremely busy. Tonight we bowled and took two games and total pins. Now I am going to watch NCIS and go to bed...

Baby, It Is Cold Outside

On Sunday we bowled, had a good time. I worked on Monday and it was very cold outside so in The Villages, if you can't golf, bike or play pickleball you eat. It was busy...
Monday night I just stayed home. I could have went and played Bunco but I really just wanted to stay home...what am I saying??? I must be getting old..
Tuesday we did some more shopping at Lowe's for Pam's house and then Jim and Jane came over so I could help her with her project on the computer. It was very cold again today and they say it will be cold all week. The sun is shining so it doesn't feel that bad. They have had to close some schools because they are just not set up for this kind of weather, no heat. If we were in Michigan, people would think this was spring. Ha Ha...
We were told to cover all of our plants and bushes. This is a picture, isn't it funny...

Starting the New Year

Well, everyone is gone now, Pam left this morning. I sure hated to see her go, we had so much fun. We also did lots of work on her house. It is almost done. We had a wonderful New Year's Eve. We saw Lori Gill who protrays Pasty Cline and she was wonderful. Then we all went to Rod and Pam's house and played WI. We had a ball. However, getting home at 2 a.m. and having to be at work by 7 a.m. is not too much fun at my age. I used to be able to do that with no problem but it will probably be a long time before I do that again.
On New Year's day Anna and Bill had everyone over for pork and sour kraut to bring us all good luck. Us girls went to the square to dance a few and get the movie tickets for tomorrow night.
A cold snap is hitting Central Florida and it was quite chilly on Saturday morning so they canceled our golf outting. If we hadn't of been playing so early we would have played once it warmed up. So instead we attended the craft show at Spanish Springs,they have wonderful things. In the evening we went to the movies to see "It's Complicated". It was pretty good. Then Pam had her last meal at TooJays.
Bud took her to the airport this morning and I used John's car to go to work. Boy, do I like that car, makes mine feel worse than ever. We were extremely busy and the day went by really fast.
Tonight we started bowling on the Michigan Club league at Fiesta Bowl. We didn't bowl too bad but we won't know if we won any until next week.
Now I am going to go and sit so I can go to work again tomorrow. Oh, happy day....
