Yard work! I did a bunch of it yesterday. Front and back yards, swept the driveway, watered plants, scooped up poop and chopped trees for “the building of the deck”!
My arms are killing me from weed whacking, but it’s worth it!

“The building of the deck”has begun! Avalon has ordered the lumber and it will be delivered on Monday morning! I have waited three years for this day….Also, the windows and sliding glass door have been ordered from Centerline. Avalon will install them when he’s done with the deck! Yes!!

An incredibly busy day.Michael and I worked together for most of the day starting at Gentle Winds condos and ending at villas on the east end. Then, the “Greek dinner” at Peter’s house. There were over 50 people there and I almost had to abort the mission because of the overwhelming number of bodies. Claustrophobia and other issues set in when that many personalities surround me. But we made it through. And guess what the vegetarian entree selection included!?! Eggplant!! And it was good! The starter salad included spinach and red onions (MUCH more flavorful than last week), the orzo and chicken or eggplant entrees were very tasty, and the dessert (some greek fried thing with ice cream that neither Peter nor Aaron, the chef, could remember the name of) was great. I made the mistake of having coffee with dessert and that’s why I’m here at the computer while Michael (who also had coffee, but is used to caffeine) snores like a log full of flies in the other room. (There must be a southern expression for that…?)

Parade day.…is tomorrow (actually later today) and we may miss it this year. We need to get into the habit of getting into the water so we can be ready for Wreggie and the gang in a few weeks. We have massage appointments at Carambola in the morning and we may just hang out at Cane bay for the rest of the day. I got short changed on New Year’s day for the F’sted trip, so we need to do some serious goofing off on a beach.
