Good morning and thank you for all the birthday wishes.
Lee - Loved the card. It is definitely a keeper!!
Kathie - Have fun fighting the pollen. We're lucky in that the yucky yellow pollen from the pine trees is so heavy and covers everything while it's the oak trees that cause allergies at the same time. So glad we're finished with the heavy dose of pollen for this year. In a few days you'll feel the same way, until next year!!
Smart move on buying Art a new watch instead of just a new band. I had an el cheapo watch from Wally World at one time that cost about $3. I could have gotten an "extended warranty on it for $5. and if you needed a new watch band, you had to send it back to then and the band cost $6.! That is pure madness!!!
Lee - Good luck with the blood work today. I think all surgeries throw off a lot of your numbers until your body heals itself. Good that your doctor is staying on top of things.
Dave - Our house in NJ had all those hardwood floors too, but when Gary was little, we decided to run carpet over them figuring that if he fell, it would be better to fall on carpet instead of wood. So now in this house, the first thing we did was rip out all the carpet and put in hardwood floors and tile floors in the extra bedrooms. Go figure.
Have fun getting ready for the carpet install on Thursday. I agree with you about stuff in dresser drawers that aren't used any longer. I have one dresser that I know nothing has been touched in the drawers for close to 20 years! I still have a tee shirt that Roland sent to some of us before our inaugural trip on Brilliance of the Seas! Tony would have gotten a charge out of that as he had his shirt too.
Karen - Don't work too hard with that mowing. A dip in the pool afterwards might be a good idea.
Today started off nicely. I found a bottle of my favorite perfume waiting for me on my computer. I told Bert that he needed to get me another bottle and he came through as asked. We're heading out in about an hour for lunch in Lakeland which is a little over an hour away. Time for some Cajun food! I'll skip the hurricane though and just go with a glass of wine instead, unless I decide to live on the wild side!! LOL
I doubt that we'll see any of the kids today though and they already wished me a happy birthday over the weekend when they called or were here, so after our lunch, it will be home for a normal afternoon.
Bert just go up, so I guess I should put on a pot of coffee for him. He'll be looking for a cup as soon as he hits the kitchen!!
Have a wonderful day, gang. Stay safe no matter what you are up to today!
