Friday Morning Feb 18th

 Well Thursday was the hottest day of this year thus far with temps in the low 80's. I sat outside in the shade of the oak tree and relaxed and read for most of the afternoon until Sister Dee and Mike arrived around 4'ish. The morning was anything but relaxing as I touched up some paint on the kitchen chairs and table as well as vacuumed and then mopped the floors in the whole house as well as the garage. Nancy was off shopping for some last minute items so I was busy until she got home around lunch time. I even got in some hand watering of the gardens before lunch as the sun and breeze was drying up the gardens.

We all sat outside in the back yard as the afternoon shade from the made it quite pleasant to catch up on with them and have a glass of the fruit of the vine. Bonnie their 13 year terrier was having a grand time wondering the yard as well. Nancy had a huge lasagna in the oven as well as a fresh garden salad we put together after lunch. The leafy greens are still producing as are the green beans but the cukes aren't looking good from the frost we had a couple days in a row. It's amazing how quickly the temps change here in central Florida almost overnight. We went from heat to a/c in one day. Its actually raining lightly this morning which is much needed.

We sat and chatted after supper and watched some of the Fox News channel until I grew sleepy around 8:30, so I was off to the showers and then some TV time before lights out around 9:30. It was freezing in Woodstock when they left on Thursday morning and there was still some snow on the ground but what a change for them here in Florida. We could not believe its been close to 30 years since they were last here with their girls when they were young. We of course see them in the mountains and at their place but so much had changed here in Floridas that they drove right past the house when they came into the neighborhood. The big front yard oak tree was gone which was always a landmark for our place.

I want to wish our mountain mom Helen Happy Big Day as she turns 94 years young today. Oh by the way the woke culture censors at Facebook put me back in jail for using one word to describe Hillary actions against Trump. That one word was "despicable" which was against their community standards according to them but she can call all of us conservatives deplorables, oh well, LATER
