February 2008

Feb, 28th did our bowling thing and we think that we are getting back on track. To bad the season is over in two weeks.

Feb. 27th went to play some Golf in Arcadia again with Jerry, Lois, Lindall, and Sandy and had a great time.

Feb. 25th I usually don’t talk about work but, today we ran into the worst left mess we ever encountered. At the park they had some circus people here that worked the Sarasota circus and we have never seen such a mess. I raised pigs as a teenager and they were cleaner than these people. I will not even call these people pigs as it gives a bad name to pigs.

Feb. 23nd Went to a local flea market and did some shopping and than finally took out our Kayak for a maiden voyage. The Kayak did a great job, we didn’t get wet and after about I hour we came back. We loaded up and on our way home it started to rain, timing is everything.

Feb. 21st before we left we played a couple games of shuffleboard. We than made our way to Orlando to Downtown Disney as we were going to La Nouba, Cirque Du Soleil. We did a little shopping and than went to the Rain Forest to OVER eat the food was very and the helping were huge, we than made the mistake of getting dessert. When we came out it was raining and we had to go to the other end of Downtown Disney for the show. As for the show there are no words that I can think of to describe it, other than I would go again and again and I am glad that we got to see it in this lifetime. While the four of us were there no one spoke a word as we all were speechless.

Feb. 20th Had a painful procedure this morning at Sea Pines Va. Hospital. Got through it ok and had good news and was told that hopefully medication was all that I needed. We got back and when Jeff and Shirley got there we went to play 9 holes of golf. Probably one of the hardest nine holes I ever played because of my morning test. We finished off the evening by going to the pool side bar here at the park to eat and get drinks. We were going to play shuffleboard but the rains came and washed that out.

Feb. 19th after work we packed up and went to Siesta Beach with wine, cheese, and crackers to watch the sunset. The sand at Siesta Beach has to be some of the finest in the world. We were in for an additional treat as the sun set in the west a full moon was rising in the east. What a beautiful night, except for the Sea Gulls.

Feb. 18th Jeff and Shirley got here today and we just took a nice walk around the park, we went to the poolside bar to eat and drink. Had a nice time and a lot of good conversation.

Feb.16th back to Baypines again for hopefully the last test. Came home and did a lot of cleaning as Jeff and Shirley will be arriving on the 18th.

Feb. 14th we got our kayak today, it only tok six weeks from the initial order. It will be a couple days till we get to use it.

Feb. 13th back up to Baypines for more tests, after that we took a slow leisurely drive down the golf coast. Just an enjoyable day in Florida.

Feb.9th we got up and went to play shuffleboard at a daily tournament and lost big time, these players are very good and take the game seriously. We again to Mayyaka park to ride bike and it is such a beautiful place, quite and tranquil.

Feb. 8th with our kayak issue settled and to our favor as we got all of our money back we ordered another one. Same model and accessories but with upgraded seats at an increased cost of $20.

Feb. 6th we went with our neighbors Jerry & Lois) again to Arcadia for golf. Also playing was Lois’s cousin and her husband (Lendall & Sandy) after golf we all stopped to eat, it was a great day.

Feb. 2nd We went to the Big Cat Habitat with Jerry & Lois. What a great time we had and got to see the bears, lions, and tigers. They put on quite a show and we got our picture taken with a white tiger.
