Booking Rooms, Doctor Visits with a few stitches! ...........Dinner with Friends

For much of the day on Monday, I was on the computer, planning the drive to NY.  Rich would tell me about how many miles/day he wants to drive, or how many hours..........and I search for the city and hotel where we'll stay.    Got three nights booked for the trip north, and we'll arrive at the lake on day 4. 

Monday evening we met up with Nathan and Krystal, and Buddy and Diane at Hibachi.  Nice to see Krystal out - we've missed her the last couple of times.  This will be our last get together for a while, as everyone makes there summer plans.  Probably September before we get together again......( Well - actually Nathan and Krystal are meeting us in Ft. Myers next weekend at Broadway Palm).  But our regular monthly get togethers  probably will not resume till September. 

On Monday the roofers finally made it to our friends house on the other side of the canal.  Can't remember what number they were on the list waiting to have it done..........but it's been since Hurricane Irma, last September! Our neighbor a few doors down, still has not had his started.

On Tuesday Rich had an appointment with the dermatologist to have a cyst removed on his back/shoulder.  Originally a boil.......he needed to have the core removed.  So he came home today with a big pressure bandage on his back, which he has to leave on for 24 hours. Remove, keep Vaseline on it, and cover until no more draining.  Back in about 10 days to have the stitches removed.

On Wednesday I  went back for a follow-up with the foot doctor, and got another steroid shot for my heel!  Hopefully this is the last one I'll need. 

And today our resident Blue Heron was back.  This time he gave us quite a show on the rail of the deck.  Normally he just stands there and looks around, but today he stood there with his throat fluttering.  That usually means that he is hot!  And usually when they spread the wings, and flatten them, they are just sunning - but I think he was actually drying. It was really amazing to watch.

Can't believe that tomorrow will be Friday already!  The week has flown by.
