Normal stuff

Nothing very exciting going on at our house these days. Butch's vision is coming along I think. Can never tell by what he says because if I say he has complained that it isn't what it should be he will contradict me if he hears me say that. So I do not know and will probably not know till the doctor tells me. Hopefully it will be what I want to hear. In the meantime we are busy with drops 4 times a day. He has 4 bottles of eyedrops and most have to be applied 5 minutes apart. And to clear up a question the picture of Butch with his surgeon was taken right after the surgery.
I have had a few computer calls but nothing out of the ordinary and nothing too perplexing. The computer class wants to have a session on Avery labels and we will do that soon. It starts with a download (Avery Design Pro download) one week and then the instruction on how it works the following week.
So for now a bunch of laundry including bedding, vacuuming, my first walk around the park all await me so thats it till next time.

Elise enjoys Thanksgiving

Grandpa Gary says: Have not found time yet to process the eating peas video but here are some pictures of Elise in her bouncer having fun. She does a lot of smiling and laughing in her bouncer.

What I'm up to...

Oodles and gobs with very little down time. This girl needs her down time. Mondays and Tuesdays are busy busy but the rest of the week is more moderate. It has been long enough now I do not remember what I did Monday- Oh yes I do! I cleaned house because I knew it might be my only chance for awhile.
Tuesdays are always busy with coffee hour in the morning immediately followed by golf making lunch happen about 2:00 PM and I am sorry but that just throws me off. Then I scheduled a bracelet instruction at 6:00 PM. That went well and her bracelet looks really great.
Wednesday started very early as Butch's appointment for his first cataract surgery was scheduled at 6:45 AM. It went well and he has been napping off and on throughout the day. I am now the driver till further notice. That could be real scary for him once he can see well enough to notice. I think I am driving fine. I can drive a straight stick I just do not like to and will give it back over to him ASAP.

This is Butch with his surgeon, Dr. Wade Graham.

Ripe and Ready

Oranges, grapefruit and lemons are all in abundance around the park...and people are quick to share. After all it is very hard to consume a whole tree full of fruit. This is one of the oranges on the property of Bill and Jo Brooker/ Donn and Peggy Gordon.

What the ...

Not much going on and that is okay by me. I have my dish for Thanksgiving all figured out and ready to put together. It is a simple one and I will get the recipe in here after I make it and find out if it is worthy.

I made a couple of bracelets the last few days. It was fun getting back to it. One is sold already. That seems to be the way it goes. Someone sees it, likes it and off it goes! That makes it even more fun.

Yesterday Butch and I were invited to Rio Valley Estates by Bobby and Donna Gabbert and Donna's sister Mickey for  a Green Chillies Enchilada supper. It is one of Mickey's specialties. Absolutely scrumptious! It was followed by Donna's Flan Cake also scrumptious! Donna writes a blog for their park and I do believe the recipe for the flan cake was featured at one time. It sounded to me like it was a park favorite and rightly so.

It has been hot the last few days- not just hot but humid as well so we have the A/C running. I know it is hard to fathom the difference between here and up north. When people arrive here this time of year it takes them about a week to adjust. I am sure that if we suddenly traveled north we would be shivering for a week or more.
Till something interesting happens...
