Resting

After a busy couple of weeks, I am now in rest mode.  With the installation of the microwave on Friday, projects around the house are done for a while.

It was delightful to have my old friend Pat here Friday night.   We toured the Ringling Circus Miniature museum and the Ringling Mansion on Saturday, followed by a lovely lunch before she headed further south to Ft. Meyers.

Sunday saw Don and me back to our normal schedule:  lunch with a group of his old friends;  a little shopping for me;  a little sports on t.v. for him;  a thorough reading of the Sunday paper (and isn’t it lovely to have time for that!);  and a frozen pizza for dinner, as I was too tired to cook.

I managed to mop the kitchen floor yesterday before wandering down the street to have a drink with two women who are rapidly becoming close friends.  Dinner was a rotisserie chicken I had picked up at Sam’s Club….honestly, if you haven’t tried them, they’re the best of the lot.   Today I may actually cook something; maybe not.

As you can tell, it’s peaceful here at the moment.  We’re glad not to be up north where storms are brewing;  glad to have carved out a pleasant life here;  glad for each other in our lives……two lucky old people!

Here’s a photo of the microwave and new oven:
