The Foot Doctor

I went to the foot doctor and got two corisone shots in my feet. So far they don't feel much better but I have to give it chance.
We spent most of the day rearranging our house. We moved the good furniture into the family room and our everyday chairs and TV into the living room. We have way too much company and the living room is much bigger and has a better layout. The family room is long and narrow and there is not much you can do with it.
We have had company on and off all day and they have approved the move.
The guys went to the Old Tyme War Historical movie tonight so us girls were on our own.
We ended up sitting at Denny's and having a ball, laughing and talking. So I am tired and going to bed. Bud is already asleep in his chair.

Great Week

Well, I have been too busy to blog but I will try to catch up. I am still icing my feet three times a day. They are feeling a little better.
On Saturday we golfed with the neighborhood at Bacall and the one guy on our team got closest to the pin. As a team we did great the first five holes and fell apart the last four. We had lunch at Mallory Country Club.
In the evening we went to our favorite store, Lowes and ordered our new bathroom counter top. Bud has been painting and sprucing up the bathroom and today I got new throw rugs.
Thursday we played shuffleboard and I won two games and Bud won one. Next week we are having a potluck before we start. Maybe if we feed our players they will do better.
On Friday Bud played golf with Ray and parred four holes in a row.
On Sunday I worked, same old thing, busy, busy, busy.
Monday I worked and we just stayed home Monday night, had to recoup from the weekend.
Today I went to digital scrapbooking club and then out to lunch with Marguerite. We always have so much to talk about. We went to a new New York deli that was pretty good. This evening we attended the Michigan Club. Since it is so close to Halloween we had a contest and I came in for third prize. I was a bumble bee and Bud went as a doctor. The pair of frogs won first place, they were so cute and the Detroit convicts came in second. The club fixed brats and sauerkraut for everyone. Entertainment was wonderful. Carol Ann sang some great songs.
Now I am watching Detroit 187 and getting ready to call it a night. Foot doctor appointment in the morning.
It has been really warm here and no rain since September. Everything is dry, dry, dry.

Sore Feet

I spent Wednesday morning at the foot doctor. My feet just haven't been feeling right and I can't take it anymore. Well, I guess it is not all in my head. I have a Morton's Neuroma, it is a nerve condition at the bottom of my feet and between my toes. I have to get new orthotics, cortisone shots, etc. At least now we can treat the problem.
In the evening we had a girls night out. The guys went to the Old Time Cowboy Movie Club so we went to Ocala to the big mall and then out to eat the Olive Garden. It was so good...
I have also formed a new club called JUGS. It stands for Just Us Girls. No meetings, no dues, just fun time with your friends.
It has been just gorgeous here, it the high eighties and plenty of sunshine.

The Graves Love the Villages

Thursday we all went to play on our shuffleboard league and Gary got to play. He won two games and they asked him to please move here so he could play all the time. Then we went golfing at Truman and ended up eating Mexican at El Ranchito's. On Friday I had to work so Bud, Gary, Pat and Ray played golf at Mira Mesa and then we all went to the Italian Parade. It was really cute. After that about twelve people came here for our Italian Night Dinner. We had spaghetti and meatballs, spaghetti and sausage, lasagna, ante pasta and Dominic baked us an Italian red velvet cake. We all had a good time and probable will do it again for the Fall Harvest Parade at the end of the month.
On Saturday we golfed with our neighborhood league and they let Pat and Gary play too. Gary won closest to the pin and there was a three-way tie for the lowest score and we won that too. We all went to Orange Blossom Country Club for a late lunch and to divide the money. It made Gary's day.
Saturday night we went to the Orange Blossom Opry and saw a good old country show. We got up really early because Pat and Gary had to leave by six a.m and I had to go to work. We were super busy and by the time I got home, I was too pooped to pop. I told Bud, "Guess what we are doing tonight?" He said, "What do you want to do?" I said, "We aren't doing anything. I am going to crash." And that is what I did. Nothing....
Today I worked and Bud painted our closet. Tonight I could have went several places but I think I will just stay home. It isn't easy getting old...

Pat & Gary are Here

Pat and Gary got here Wednesday afternoon. We headed over to Tony Packo's for their Wednesday FREE chicken wings, all you can eat. Gary said they were much better than the chicken they paid fifty dollars for at Disney World. Then we went to the square for a while and ended up at Perkins for coffee and muffins.
It was a long day....

The Start of a New Week

We were pretty busy at work considering that not all the snowbirds are back yet. But is was busy enough for me. My dogs were barking at the end of my shift.
In the evening we went to Jane's and had dinner and then we went to Spanish Springs to see a movie. "You Again". It was okay, I would say about a five out of ten. They had a good idea and could have done a lot more with it.
On Monday I worked again. Of course, the young girl, about 18, showed up but was sick. I told the boss, "Everytime I work, they either don't show up or they are sick." It is always the same old thing.
Monday night we went over to the square and I got a watch. Mine died and I can't stand to be without a watch. They sell them for ten dollars with two batteries and they last about a year or more. I am certainly high maintenance.
Today I worked in the house, trying to get ready for company. Pat and Gary will be here tomorrow and I had to get the extra bedroom ready and get some groceries.
So tonight the Comcast guy came and fixed our cable box, we were paying for things we couldn't get so he said our box was not working right.
So now I am watching NCIS and getting ready to call it a night..

Wonderful Saturday

I spent the day with my Red Hat Sisters and we went to Ocala to a very fine seafood restrauant and then went to the Ocala Civic Theater to see a play called "Curtains". It was a musical mystery, not my favorite type of play but not bad. Our ladies are so nice, we all had a great time.
Bud golfed with the neighborhood this morning at De LaVista and they won the scramble.Hope we can do the same next week..
Tonight we went to our favorite store on the golf cart and got some paint for the bedroom and some flowers for outside. Lowe's is way too close for comfort..
Now I am getting ready for a big day tomorrow. Sunday at Bob Evans is always a real trip...

First Day Back At Work

Today was my first day back at work. It was as busy as it ever was. While I was gone they really cleaned house, they fired lots of people and lots of people moved on to different jobs, etc. I am sure glad a few of them are gone.
The same customers are still coming almost every day. Oh my, I don't want to go anywhere every single day...
Tonight we went to the hot tub and soaked my aching body. I think I am getting too old to be working, ha ha...Bud golfed at Silver Lake with Ray today and I worked. What is wrong with this picture...?
