Wed, Jan 29, 2020:  Picked up my laptop yesterday.  Still familiarizing myself with Windows 10.  Not sure yet about the battery situation.  Had a busy day yesterday.  We picked up my laptop, did the grocery shopping, took care of the laundry in LaBelle, had lunch at a Mexican restaurant next door to the laundromat.  Worked out well.  Back home, plugged in my laptop, put everything away, and then drove to Clewiston so Mike could pick up some scripts.  Today we head to Ft. Myers so Mike can get his hearing aid fixed.  So much for the golden years.  Daisy stopped by twice and crawled into my lap.  However, she came over when Charlie and Johanne’s lab, Molly, was here.  Molly went after Daisy, who held her own, even though she’s been declawed.  Haven’t seen her since though (sigh). 

Bill all bundled up walking Abby, followed by Daisy.

Sun, Jan 19, 2020:  The play last night was great.  Don’t know if they’re local or regional, but they’re all good.  A nice day today.  Went for a walk and returned a book to the library.  Watched football all afternoon.  Kansas City won—YES!  Taking the laptop to the computer shop tomorrow.  It’ll probably be there for three days.  Going to be cold here for the next three days.  80 here today.

Sat, Jan 18, 2020:  Really windy again this morning, but pretty warm. There’s a little theater in LaBelle called the Firehouse Theater.  We’re heading there tonight to see “Nun Sense.”  A musical comedy about 5 nuns trying to set up a charity event.  Sounds pretty good. And there’s a restaurant right across the street where we’ll have dinner.  Going to be a fun night.

A little bunny was under one of our chairs a couple of mornings ago.

Fri, Jan 17, 2020:  Had lunch in LaBelle today.  Then found a computer place who may be able to download Windows 10 on my computer.  Have an appointment for Monday.  I can only hope.  Later in the evening the Canadians came over for happy hour.  Fun.  Really windy today.  We had to put the awning in.  80 today, but a cold front is coming (sigh). 

Beautiful live oak on the golf course.

Thu, Jan 16, 2020:  Had to drive to Clewiston to pick up some scripts.  Came back and had lunch at Crumb’s.  On the way back to our site we saw why Crumb’s wasn’t busy at all.  Bean bag baseball started today.  The different teams were setting up.  A huge group is playing.  I’d go over and watch, but it takes place in a big field with no shade.  Read outside for a bit while our patio was in the shade.  Mid-80s today, but temps only in the 60s for the next few days.

Wed, Jan 15, 2020:  Driving to Ft. Myers today to have Windows 10 loaded onto my laptop.  Thought I’d post now since I don’t know if my computer will be screwed up after this or not.  Not even sure if they’ll be able to take care of this while I wait.  Probably not.  A beautiful day today.  We’ll probably stop for dinner at the Boat House tiki bar on our way back.  Supposed to be in the mid-80s today.

Tue, Jan 14, 2020:  Had to drive to Moore Haven today to take care of our permit for the shed.  So, I walked up to the office, which is about a mile, and Mike picked me up there.  Found the county offices, paid our $30 for them to review our drawings and notarize, and then in a couple of days we pick up our permit and pay another $90.  Drove from there to Clewiston and had lunch at the tiki bar there.  Took forever to get our food.  A bus full of people pulled in right after us and they pre-order their food.  Finally ate and then drove back.  Sat outside reading and George and Pam stopped over from next door.  He has some funny stories.  Steaks, mashed potatoes, and corn for dinner tonight. 84 today.

When we walked into the tiki bar, this cat was sprawled out taking a nap in one of the seating areas.
