Well a sunny good morning to you today!  The condos on the left are on Singer Island.  I don't go there much and don't know why.  It has a lovely beach.  Oh.  Wait.  I don't go the the beach do I?  The last time I went in the ocean was in 1983.  A little tiny blue fish touched my leg.  That did it.  It's the pool for me.  Not that I don't love a cruise ship on the ocean because that's totally tits.  Just not getting in it.

So last night I went and played canasta in Palm Beach.  It was fun, I like the gals.  I might be getting a Monday night game in my building in the future, I'm trying anyway.

Oh, and I am reading the first Jack Reacher novel.  Several of you have said they liked them and so far I do.  So I'll be swimming and reading by the pool today if you need to find me.  I hope your day is as good as mine.  And I am having dinner at the club with the gal who's husband recently died and them going to poker.  Busy day!  That's good...  

Roche' went snooping looking around in my jewelry drawer (he's in there all the time!) and he found a bee.  He says it's his pet bee.  He named it bebe'.  Bebe' loves him too, they are an "item" I think.  He asked me if I'd hot glue rhinestones on Bebe'.  And he wants more makeup on now too.  What a little bugger.  He keeps me hopping!

I have a question for you Wen users.  Do you use the cleansing conditioner only or the other products too?  I appreciate your thoughts.  And do you use any hair spray?

Yesterday after I saw the duck I went down to the pool.  I was in for 10 seconds (I swear!) when the weather alarm went off on the golf course.  I got out and decided to wait and see what happened.  I waited 30 minutes and gave up and went back upstairs.  I was there 10 seconds (I swear!) when the all clear sounded so down I went again.  This time I did get to do some water jogging.

Tonight I have a canasta game, I am a sub for someone that is not able to play.  I like that because Monday nights are lonely for me usually and having something to do is a good thing.  I don't know what it is about Monday nights but that seems to be the worst time of the week for me.

So that's it from paradise for today y'all.  Have a great Monday.  I will too!

So I had my first backgammon lesson yesterday.  I am learning very s-l-o-w-l-y.  I understand the premise but the fine points are alluding me.  I'm also not sure I have the best teacher but it's what I have.  I will go forward, trust me.

I also did an hour and a quarter in the pool.  The (self appointed) president (of the pool) was there and the time just flew by, we talked about Syria and what is going on there.  He is very knowledgeable about the subject and this is the second person I have talked to this week that knew what they were talking about and explained things to me.  

The consensus which I do not hear talked about on tv is that this is Christians being persecuted in Syria, persecuted and slaughtered.  We will not give them visas.  Why not?  

My (many) liberal friends are happy with what we are doing.  I am not.  I read on Facebook the navy stating the ship my grandson is on will have their tour extended in this region.  I am not telling secrets, this was on Facebook.  

(What I really want to say is "no boots on the ground" is total krap.)  I seriously want everyone in Washington replaced.  All of them.  Self interests and lobbyists and fundraisers, that's what they care about.  Well, I'd better shut up now before I say more than I want to put in print here.

Okay on to more pleasant subjects, today I get to see the duck!  

And I still am loving the Wen haircare stuff.  I have used it twice now and the second time was even better than the first.  All I have used is the conditioning cleanser.  I have not tried any of the other products but I know I will.  Soon.

Have a lovely Sunday y'all.  I will too.

Yesterday the dental appointment went well, it did not hurt one tiny bit.  Why do I hate to go?  I have no idea.

I had the pool to myself again since all my friends that swim were still having their new year.  I'm not sure what they do but I have not seen any of them.  I feel dumb asking so I don't.

I bought a backgammon set since I now have someone that will teach me to play.  I have always wanted to learn but never knew anyone that played before.  Now we'll see if I like it or not.

D#1 will be here again shortly for her checkup.  It's been six weeks and she is doing really great.  I'm sure he will release her now.  

I used the Wen on my hair and so far I love it.  I watched videos on how to use it and it takes about five minutes to wash your hair and you use a LOT of product but my hair is shiny and soft and very clean for no lather at all.  I'll use it for a month and let you know if I still like it.  That's how much stuff I bought, a month's worth.

Have a lovely Saturday y'all.  You know I will too.

So yesterday there was no one at the pool but me.  Lovely.  No one to talk to but I loved the alone time with the sun and the clouds and the slight breeze and the warm water.

It's Friday already so that means a dental appointment for me.  Blech.  Why is it that we dislike going to the so much.  He has never hurt me.  I don't mind any other doctor and I actually like the dentist and the hygienist very much.  But I still don't like to go.

No card games for me today.  I want to stop in Bed Bath and Beyond on my way home and guess what?  I need gas in my car again!  I have been driving a lot recently for a change. 

So that's my day in a nutshell, how about yours?

Since today is a Jewish holiday there is no canasta game so I will be at the pool and then I want to do some beading.  And Roche' said he wants some more sequins so I'll have to get out the glue gun.  He swears it doesn't hurt him but I am always afraid when I glue things to the little rock.  Such a cutie pie.  

Then tomorrow I get to go back to the dentist.  At 8:15 again so that means I'll be out and driving in all the work traffic like the last time.  I don't like going anywhere until the workers are safely at work and just us slouchers retired people are left.

I had a great time at mahjong yesterday.  I won too, not much but a win is a win and after my poker fiasco it was fun.

So go out there today and have a lovely day y'all.  I will too.

Oh gosh it was a hot one yesterday and the pool was SO nice, clear and clean and lovely.  I got done my hour before anyone else came so that was nice.  Then the (self appointed) mayor and governor (of the pool) came and got in but by then it was time for me to leave.  

I didn't do too good at poker last night so we'll just change the subject and move on.

Today I will be at my new maj game and hopefully I'll do a bit better there.  And maybe I'll get to swim when I get home if it's not too late but if so I'll be in on Thursday.

I'm starting to get excited about my upcoming cruise even though it's still over a month and a half away.  Sometimes I think the anticipation is as good as the actual event.  Naw.  I guess not.

Have a lovely Wednesday y'all and Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends!

I took this last night when I got home.  It rained a good bit during the late afternoon but I managed to stay dry and get us all to the club in one piece.  We had a lovely evening and a wonderful dinner too.  It was so nice being out with friends.

The lights you see in the distance are the cars on I-95.  This is looking west.  It's like a ribbon of light at night, it never stops moving 24/7.  Don't people ever stay home?

Today I don't have anywhere to go until poker tonight so I'll be at the pool as long as it's not raining.  Yesterday there were three of us in there at the same time, it was fun to have people to talk to and it makes the time go by so fast.  Then other times I like to go in alone and just use the time to watch the clouds and think.  I guess it depends on if I took enough fish oil or not! ha

Anyway have a lovely Tuesday y'all.  I know I will!

Well it's Labor Day.  I never know whether to say Happy Labor Day or not.  Here I am doing my "job".  Somebody has to do it, I know, I know...

I live literally next door to the club but to get there this evening I will be driving about 20 miles.  Yes, you read that right.  My friend that had the open heart surgery is going and I shall pick her up and take her home afterward and while I'm out and about I'll pick up another gal too, the one that lost her husband a few weeks ago.  I am so glad we will all be out together again.

I'd better exercise a lot in the pool this afternoon to allow for the barbecue too.  I plan on eating the exercise calories today, probably all of them! Ha.  Anyway it will be fun and the food is always really good.  

I don't know how much longer it will be open, it will be torn down one day and a new one built.  Seems like such a waste but that's their plan and they're sticking to it.

Have a lovely holiday y'all.  I will too...

It's September.  To me that means autumn.  I know it's technically still summer but that's just how I think.  In my neighborhood that means the license plates will start to change colors as the snowbirds start south.

Thanks so much for the thoughts on my hair yesterday.  Here is what I decided.  I am going to get it a bit longer for now.  I also agree that the sides are a bit too full so I will pull them back more.  

Has anyone used Wen hair products?  I ordered some online to try them.  If you do be careful though, I accidentally got on auto ship so I had to go through some hoops to get off that bugger thing.  Anyway when they come and I use them I'll let you know how I like it.

I made an iced tea slushy in e-vita last night.  It was really good and refreshing.  Kind of like a snow cone.  You know it got me to thinking, I could make a martini like that! Ha!

So that's all I have in my brain today.  I guess I should up the fish oil again so I knew more.  Have a great Sunday.  I'm going to see the duck so I know I will!
