So.... been home for a week!!

This week has gone by sooooooo  fast.  It was a week ago today that we were pulling into the driveway.......turning the water and water heater back on, turning the air conditioner down to cool things off........checking everything out..... unloading the car, and unpacking boxes and suitcases! 

We had stopped at the grocery store, just to make sure we had something for dinner when we got home....so we didn't need to go back out.  It was Turkey Pot Pies for Rich,  2 Chicken, Cheese and Broccoli Hot Pockets for me. A loaf of bread  and some bagles for breakfast the next day or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch the next day....

Friday was full blown grocery shopping - stocking up the refrigerator and cupboards... and spent $276!!!  But we had some good dinners!  And I made a couple dozen chocolate chunk cookies so Rich would have some dessert. And Saturday and Sunday was doing all the dirty laundry and bedding we brought home............and starting to get yard work done...


Neighbors, Jim and Patty, said that in late July we had a wicked storm....."with strong winds.  It appeared almost to look like a hurricane.  There were huge whitecaps on the canal."  
And Phil ( who can see our boathouse from across the canal) let us know that we had lost some shingles off the boathouse roof. 

But we also learned that the Iguana like our back yard and dock.  ( and a pretty green grasshopper, and our black snake.!  We've seen two of the three almost every day......one is really quite large.  And we're pretty sure that it was them that got into our last three pineapples!  Not good..... understand that it is OK to kill them......as they can do a lot of damage to your yard, seawall and docks.  But obviously we can use a gun in the back yard!  So will probably call the county to see if they can set up a trap in the yard.


Been in touch with our friends Nathan and Krystal, and with Buddy and Dianne....and we've set up a couple of get togethers.... one at Hibachi for the 6 of us, and one here at the Golden Corral, with Buddy and Dianne next week.  It's been a while.......will be good to see them again.
