A lazy Sunday afternoon

Out to dinner last night to Aunt Chilada's Mexican Restaurant.  Shopped at Publix to pick up groceries.  I baked my first apple pie last night.  OMG...it is awesome.  I used Splenda instead of sugar and it worked well.  Spoke with Amanda the SU lady she delivered Donna G's order.  Thanks Amanda.  Walked the Yorkie and went to bed.   Up this morning to the threat of rain.  Rollie went riding with the Blue Knights.  I chose to stay home due to the threat of rain.  No rain yet.  But I did not know where they where heading today (usually north) and I did not want to chance getting wet.  Tried to do some card making couldn't get inspired.  Noted Michael's has Cricut cartridges 50% off-must get there soon.  Yorkie and kitty are napping...doesn't sound too bad.  Mom called earlier and gave the family report.  Uncle John W.  is out of the hospital (valve replacement), Aunt Rosie is still in the Nursing Home due to the fact Uncle John cannot care for her while recovering from his surgery.  Uncle John S. is getting continuous nursing care from Hospice at home.  Mom said he sounded good and strong today.  Uncle Don is in the Nursing Home in Kettering, Ohio due to weakness.  He is on dialysis.   The Dr. is trying to strengthen him to put in a pacemaker.  Mom was planning an afternoon show at the Largo Cultural Center with Sue to see an Elvis impersonator.

Don and Cindy did not ride with the Blue Knights today due having their boat detailed at the BP Station across the street.  I have had them do the Hummer in the past he does a good job at a reasonable price.  I need to get the H3 over.

I heard LaDonna and Bri are back to Colorado and the temperature is in the sixties.

Back to work tomorrow.  Michelle is not working, bummer.  I think we have 27 cases. I start at 8a so that means I will be the late person.  I will try to Skype Michelle and have her check the blog and see if she can retrieve it.  I hear a motorcycle...could it be?

New Year's Eve

Worked from 7:30 to 2:20p.  I would not choose to have surgery on New Year's eve.  But that is why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.  We were busy (I am thankful to have a job).  Hopefully some good people who are recently unemployed will choose to go back to school and become a nurse.  The demand is great and one can always find employment.  After work I went to the hairdresser's for a haircut.  Got a great cut for a reasonable price $25 versus the usual $100 plus for color and a cut at the "salon".  Stopped by Michael's for $1 Valentine Stamps...the 50% off coupon was burning my pocket.  I picked up a tag punch (no, I did not have one) for the coupon!  Back home to shower for the party.  A telephone message from Connie and Kevin.  Called them back in Ohio,

they were curious if we where in Ohio for the holidays (it was worth a try).  No, we are enjoying our piece of Paradise in Florida.  Dave and Louise picked us up at 7:30p (Cindy, Don, Mike and Jan followed) for the trip to The Elks Club in Tarpon Springs.  Great time, great friends and good dance music.  Back home by 12:30a.

The first Saturday of the New Year

Happy New Year...I hope this one doesn't go as fast as 2008.  Remember awaiting Y2K?  Here we are nine years later.  

The sun is shining,  yorkie is laying on the back of the couch snoozing, the kitty is cat napping in the craft room, Rollie is eating breakfast with the Blue Knights.  I am creating my first blog posting.  I do wish I had gotten out of bed and gone to breakfast with Rollie.  I worked crazy hours yesterday and got my sleep messed up.  I was up half the night.

Don and Cindy are back from Ohio, Lisa is visiting from Ohio.  The gang rode motorcycles to eat.

Lisa is riding with her dad, Tony.
