April 1st Birthdays

Happy,happy Birthday today, April 1,2009 to my brother-in-law Greg Folts who is half a century and to my friend Ana Maria Lechner who turns 63. I hope they both have a wonderful day.
My weather alarm is going off again---severe thunderstorms. Will this stop me from going to the dance? It is dress crazy night (April Fools dance)
Patti had her Monday night party. It was too cold to go outside and dance on the rooftop and so some of them played dominoes.Finally I got in on the game and we played until 2 am.I went to Flagler via Beach St.and Tomoka park area. I don't usually go this way at night. It is so desolete. I saw something very big, black and furry at the side of the road..I didn't turn around but sure it was a bear.
I slept in Tuesday until 10:30 am and wondered what this day would bring. Then I received a phone call from Steve Smith. He and Cindy and 2 other couples were in their S.Daytona time share and would be coming up see me. This was Tom and wife from Tom's tavern in Bemus and Jim and wife from the Jimmy Buffet band.I had leftovers from Mon.night so brought out the deviled eggs, brownies, strawberries etc.
They liked my home and the area. Our little alligator made himself visible for them.I stayed in Friday night and watched Dancing with the Stars.
Did I tell you I have a fish? (Beta) I bought him and his beautiful bowl and stand at a yard sale. I liked the container he was in and that's why I ended up with him. I have named him Bubbles or Bubba for short. He is such good company. lol
Monday I worked on trimming my grapefruit tree. I can't reach the top but my neighbor, Sida, told me to borrow her tall ladder anytime so when I have someone here to hold the ladder I will finish the job. I checked and they do make an electric chain saw. I'm going to get one.I've got some dead stuff that is too big for my clippers.
I had a water detector gadget put on my hot water heater today. If there's moisture an alarm will go off. John Campbell says it is a good idea to get a new hot water tank as they only last about 8-10 yrs around here.Some of the residents have had flooded homes from bad ones. He'll put one in in a couple of weeks.I'm spending my Income tax refund and my stipend. Now I need to think about a home warranty.Since all appliances are 8 years old it might be a good idea.
I received a summons for jury duty. I was supposed to go to Bunnell on April 13th. This means I possibly could be there on my Birthday. I can go to Disney free on my Birthday but don't want to go alone so figured I'd spend it at jury duty. I went there today and they were going to postpone it for a month but I have several Dr. appts. then so didn't like that idea. Finally she said they would put me in the Nov. pool. The other clerk whispered to me that they don't do anything if you don't show up. Ok!!
Anyways I don't have to worry about that until November.
I see in my last post I called the oak tree magnificent twice. Now I'll have to go see.
I bought a Cappachino coffee at McDonalds today and burned my lips. It was steaming hot. You'd think they would learn their lesson!!!
