Good morning! It's a beautiful day here with temps in the mid 80s. Next week the 90s return to Florida along with a better chance of rain and t-storms. I guess we can't have everything we want all the time!
Kathie - I can tell you what a bellini is, as it's my favorite. It's just like a mimosa, except instead of orange juice, it contains peach juice or nectar. Nice & sweet and goes down so easily. I like to use prosecco as it is more mellow.
Glad you finally figured out where all the pollen was coming from. We constantly have something starting to bloom, so there's almost always some kind of pollen in the air.
Dave - I bet it will feel good to have those stitches removed from your neck. So tell us, now that you're getting some nice warm weather, have you broken out the shorts yet?
Lee - Glad that you can at least do the online classes right now. May 26th will be here before you know it. That's a lot of running around for you to do today. Just make sure you take it slow.
Karen - So did you finish off the bellinis? Looks like a good day to head to the pool area.
M&J surprised us by stopping off yesterday afternoon. I didn't realize they were at the pool here and didn't have the computer on most of the time they were there, so when the sliding door opened, Bert & I were very surprised and glad to see them. They helped to solve a big problem we had around here and that was how to consume all the leftovers in the refrigerator! They sure did do a number on everything that was in there.
Now I have a problem - Do I make something for dinner tonight or do we go out in keeping with my birthday week schedule. I think I will go with making something, because tomorrow we're going out for lunch at one of our favorite places for Creole food at Harry's. I already know what I plan to order ... gumbo and then crawfish etouffee followed by my birthday piece of key lime pie. Of course, it will all be washed down with a glass or 2 of wine. How times have changed. Years ago when we would eat there I would always get a Hurricane with a 151 floater on top to drink. Now that's just too sweet for me, so I stick with wine instead. Tuesdays there are Happy Hour all day, so all drinks are on specials. Talk about a win/win!!!
That's about all I've got for right now. I know Bert wants to make a stop at the library to return some books, but other than that, there's not much planned for the day. Might take a quick swing by where M&J are building their house to see if they've started the pre-build work. Jimmy checked yesterday and their house has now gone up $35,000 since they signed contracts. Crazy, huh? Same thing happened when we built this house and then the housing market crashed. It has taken this long for prices to recover. Only problem with selling right now is the question of where the heck to go and what other areas also have prices going up so rapidly. Guess we'll stay put right here for now!!
Time to grab another cup of coffee before we start any trips out and about. Have a great day, everyone. Do all the things Lee said to do!!
