Yet Another Beautiful Friday!

Friday is my most favorite day of the week and always has been, even though every day is like Friday to me. Today will be extra special, however. My husband and I joined a gym right around the corner. We can even take a nice walk together to get to it. A friend is treating us to brunch as a welcome back to Florida treat! How sweet! And tonight is our Friday Date Night, a tradition from which we rarely vary. We will be trying one of the newer restaurants. I hope it’s as good as they say, but no matter, my husband and I always have lots of laughs and fun wherever we are, just as long as we’re together! Happy Friday to all my dear and wonderful friends. ~My photo of a beautiful egret taken from my bedroom window~

I looked out the window to look at the green grass but can't see any as everything is covered in snow. It is raining and some of it will melt but there is plenty so I don't think it will all melt. Happy Friday to you too!

@DianneN Yes, it will disappear very fast as soon as the month of May comes. Shouldn't be too long now!

I gotta say that how you describe your relationship with your husband is inspiring and I hope it keeps it that way. God bless your life and relationship :) regards!

I can see why Friday is your most favorite day! For me, the end of Friday is what I look forward to . Today I finished playing Santa with fellow parents/teachers at school and some of the kids - off the checklist and now we finally officially move onto winter break. Oh but it took A LOT to get to this point of the day. But now I have to get my gifts ready for tomorrow's breakfast with another set of moms - then go visit my MIL for the first time since her move. All is not over yet!

@DianneN Thank you Dianne. With the actual Italian situation and all the laws that the Italian government is "creating", all I wanted was to cash my money before the end of the year. Italy will end up like Greece if they do not do something immediately.

Happy Friday! Or, Saturday as it now is! I know this is completely off topic, but since you've first moved to the condo many years back, have you noticed any difference in the water levels of the intracoastal? I'm curious if there is any notable rise due to global warming.

@DianneN St. Augustine is having major issues now too. During high tides they are routinely having sea water come up through the storm drains into the streets of the old historic district. And on king tides the entire downtown area floods now. The next 10-20 years is going to get really interesting as we continue to watch the ocean levels rise.

@moffittjc . I remember the historic district. My grandfather lived in St. Augustine. What a shame. The whole state of Florida seems to be having issues.

Happy Saturday? Lol! No, the water line seems the same. If not, we’re in big trouble! I know Miami is having trouble with the water coming up through the sidewalks, but they are working on it.

We have quite a few egrets hanging around with cows. It is nice to watch them keeping each other company. It is more with egrets wanting to hang around cows...
