Today I have to face the big 70. And I am going to celebrate it, and not bemoan it. I have been enjoying the fact that Dan turned 70 on the 5th, and have been teasing him about it ever since. I have finally caught back up and am now the same age as Dan again. It was great being one year younger for the whole 9 days. I bragged about it to everyone who would listen. (which weren't very many)
These are pictures that Sharon took, when they had us over for Dinner on Dan's Birthday.
Today we drove down to Weslaco, to their home to pick up Dan's hitch and the Patio table I bought when I was still dreaming of some day having a storage shed to put it in. Casey and Sharon were nice enough to store my rash purchase until Dan had a chance to Buy and Assemble a shed for me.
So thanks to Dan, I now have the start of my Texas Patio. Next week Chairs and Accessories. Then A Gazebo/Pergola, then some plantings, Patio lights, maybe a Bar, a Bistro set, etc., etc., etc., but we will break all this to Dan one step at a time.
I must have a little more done for my annual St. Patrick's Day Cocktail party. That's MY big thing down here. I
DO St. Patrick's Day. I'm even expecting Dave and Donna Riemer this year.
For now we are really enjoying ourselves, up in the morning to Grapefruit straight off of our trees. Then deciding, "What are we going to do today?" The weather was a little cool for 2 days, but we are back to 75 degrees today, so we can't complain. Retirement is GREAT. We went to the community breakfast this morning and Dan is taking me out for Dinner tonight. I will go back to patio shopping on Monday. So that's it for now.
