A Pretty quiet two weeks

Time sure does fly by....  Can't believe it's been almost two weeks since I've posted an update.  Nothing even to watch on TV until this week, as a lot of the programs off for the holidays have started up again. 

But we've been keeping busy. Had our 6 month blood work done,followed by a follow-up with the doctor and everything looked good.  Had to order some additional links for my new watch, dropped off at the jewelers.  Next is getting the wedding rings cleaned.  And as usual, grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking and baking...............

New years Day was quiet, and we made Chicken Quesadillas for our dinner along with an adult beverage!  Rich finished the Eggnog/Cinnamon Whiskey, and I opted for the Gin and Tonic again.  I went out for groceries a few days ago, and came home to find Rich in the middle of his first bake of the New Year.  He was in the middle of making homemade yeast risen bread. ( I got to clean up the mess!)  Bread is delicious! Nothing special as far as cooking.... Mac N Cheese, Shepherds Pie, Potato Soup, Ravioli/Sausge.... Meatball Subs.

Quiet yes..........but we both have been busy.  Starting to plan our trip in May to Iowa for Dalton's college graduation... and then on to Black Lake, NY.  ( Probably followed by an Elmira visit w'family and Pennsylvania visit with friends.    The route is in place and the hotel rooms are book for the journey north.. With Dennis coming to visit in February, I've been trying to plan our schedule while he's here, checking places in Dania/Ft Lauderdale, Punta Gorda/Ft. Myers/Port Charlotte.  Buddy and Dianne are scheduled for a cookout here later this month.

Rich  has been getting a lot of the power washing done.  A little bit at a time, and it's starting to look pretty good. We also did some tree trimming and cutting bushes.

Lots of visitors in the back yard.  Been keeping the feeder full.... and the humming birds are loving it.  The Blue Heron are building their nest, and the Whistling Ducks are back!  We counted close to 50 of them relaxing in the back yard, or on the boathouse roof just the other day.  And every now and then we get people out enjoying a ride in the canal.

Tomorrow is doctor appts for both of us.  Rich for an ultrasound, me for a followup with the Eye Doctor..............
