Birthday

What a week this has been. Started with another project here at home2 and ended with a wonderful dinner last night , hosted by Todd and Shannon, at Cabrera's.

Monday evening met Todd and Shannon to buy the supplies needed to put up a trellis between the house and work shop. We"re looking for honeysuckle to plant there.

Next project was to Lowe's to purchase screens for our doors. The contractor picked them up the next day and planned to have them both installed that afternoon, but as with most things it didn't quite happen that way. Mike, the contractor, had never worked with this manufacturer before and had a hard time following their instructions so it took him and his assistant four hours to put in one screen. They came the next day and finished the job. He needs to come back and tweak them a little before we will sign off on them.

On Friday Doug and I went on our first "old people" bus trip, went with a group from Camelot East to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. It was fun, the cost was $20 each and the casino gave us $25 in free play and a $5 coupon towards lunch. Doug played the time on their money and walked away with $17, I played with their money for over an hour before dipping into ours.

Saturday was my birthday and it was very nice. Heard from several friends via Facebook and then a wonderful dinner. Today will be desert over at Todd and Shannon's with all the grand kids, this has been a very good week.
