My World

It's Sunday morning and we're having a storm. I awakened at 4 am to my weather radio alarm.We're getting lots of rain that we badly need. I suppose that means everything will grow faster and I'll have to get out back and clip away. I've been slowly working on the back area but it's a slow process. I have woods in the back and it's very pretty.If I were here year round I would plant more pretty flowers etc.and hope the deer would leave them alone.
I saw men cutting down trees last Wednesday so asked them about cutting down some branches for me. They gave me a quote and I said OK but would check with the front office first. In the mea time Kathy from the office came in her golf cart and questioned the men about insurance etc. The head guy said he had it and would take it to the office. She told me to go ahead and let them work.They cut big brances from 2 trees out back. I want to get rid of the oak leaves that clog the gutters. They were going to proceed to the front lawn where there is a huge oak branch coming from the neighbor's tree that almost touches my house. (and they were going to trim my grapefruit tree for free) Kathy came back and said they had used someone else's papers and are not licensed and they had to get out. Who is going to clean up my mess? She said they should finish up my work out back and then get out. They did and so now I have to find someone else to finish the work out front..Also, she said the home owner is responsible for checking the worker's paperwork.
Kayla came threw again at her ball game last week. She made the winning out by throwing a ball from the outfield to home base with such accuracy and precision and speed. Wish my boys could have seen it.She has another game next Thursday. She and Jenna are getting so tall.
Thursday I went to a Genealogy meeting in Palm Coast. The local funeral Home was there giving advice on how to find distant cemetaries etc. They gave away calendars, pens, etc. They had a drawing for a Thomas Kinkaid family history book and I won.
Did I tell you I won $107 from the 50/50 at the Eagles last Friday.I went from the meeting to the Moose where I met Frank and Ann for an evening of music with Ernie.
Friday I met Ron and Laura, Lester and Sue at Alfies for an early dinner.They had been to Daytona for errands etc. They went home to play cards and I met Les, Frank and Ann at the the Polish Pulinski club in Daytona for a County dance.
Saturday morning I went to the little park off rt.100 to Blair's soccer game He has such enthusiasm for sports. His team won. Janice and I went to lunch at Woody's BBQ. Remy joined us as his Nana is watching him for the weekend.
I was going to stay home Sat. night and get rested but Mr.Fritz asked me to go with him to the Ormond Beach Follies.This is a show with senior citizens. Bill and I went years ago and he said he would never go again.He didn't like to see old women in dance outfits not always in time to the music. I went with Charlie and did enjoy it. They put a lot of work into it and it's well worth the $15. Lindsey Allen is a dancer, choreographer in Las Angeles. She choreographed one number "Feeling Good" in which her Mother and Grandmother were dancers. She has an upcoming "gig" with Dancing with the Stars.
So' today I will try to sort through my paper work etc.and get caught up with that.I found some small plastic easter eggs so want to do some painting.
It's beautiful here with everything in bloom. Annette told me about a magnificent Fairchild Oak tree off Old Dixie Rd. that is magniificent. It's thousands of years old. I saw the sign when I picked up Mr. Fritz yesterday so will try to stop this week to see it. Oh yes, Charlie Fritz is from Toldeo, Ohio and is an optimist. He's 90 years old and would like to get married again.!!!!He has lost 2 wives to cancer.He comes to Florida for the winter and stays with his 80 plus sister.He's going home the first week in April. Another friend in New Smyrna wants to have a party at his house April 4th. Charlie's nephew is bringing a photo album with pictures of Charlie's earlier years. It will be "This is Your Life", Charlie Fritz. I'm going to get a Burger King crown for him.
The same group of "misfits" are invited to Patti's house Monday night for an evening of snacks and dancing under the stars. She had a deck built over the house and wants to dance up there. I hope nobody falls off. She has a hot tub also so it should be fun. Frank and Ann are going to come.Wish I could do pictures but that will come with time.
