Hi friends! I’m very late getting on today due to playing 18 holes of golf and very badly as usual. Brunch on the terrace is the real reason I play. We had two wonderful people in our building pass away within weeks of each other. The latest was a former board member who interviewed us when we applied for residency here. She was a lovely woman and will be missed. We have two memorial services coming up for them. On a more positive note it IS Friday here, my favorite day, and for date night, my husband and I will have dinner on the water. It’s a sultry day and perfect for outdoor eating. Any Friday night plans for you?

Just the thought of your dinner on the water makes me feel quite relaxed! Friday went well, highlight was a coffee outing with a friend.

I assume it's Saturday for you now. Glad you had a nice coffee outing with your friend. I'm all ready to leave for dinner, but waiting for my husband to finish dressing. He drives me crazy sometimes! Have a lovely Saturday and a wonderful trip!

It's Saturday already so too late to plan. :( Who painted the gorgeous picture of Doodles? It's very good.)

Happy Saturday to you! I haven't even gone to sleep yet, and it's still good old Friday here. My son did that with his phone. I can not tell a lie. Originally, it was a photo of Doodles sleeping in the sun. Isn't technology grand if you (I) could use it? lol

@DianneN That's pretty spekky (spectacular). Vince sometimes processes his photos then I come say 'yes... but... it didn't really look like that!'.

We had a light sprinkle playing golf and I did get wet. It took about 30 minutes for me to dry off. Thanks so much.

@simone10 I have been depressed about the deaths of two people in our building. However, going out was the wise thing to do, after all. Thanks, Sharon.

@DianneN They are I think I may need to call the doctor. I know it will take time but I just don't know if I should still be in pain almost from weeks later. Never had this sort of injury before.

@CarolDM Oh, no! I would definitely call the doctor. The pain is not good, but you want to make sure they are healing correctly so you can walk again! I would definitely call right now and set up an appointment, Carol.

What a neat background for Doodles. Speaking of eating, I just realized I'm hungry. Sorry they passed away, I hope they had long lives for their families to remember.

It sounds like a wonderful day and a day eating outside in sultry weather is a good thing. I'm sorry you lost a couple of people in your building in the past week. I love the picture of Doodles. Who made that? I watched two movies with my friend down the hall, while I took a necessary break from editing.

Glad you took a break and watched movies with your neighbor. You work too hard! Many thanks. Our son used a photo of Doodles sleeping in the sun, and created that with his iPhone. Amazing, isn’t it? lol

@DianneN Yes, it is amazing what you can do with a phone nowadays. I need some down time during the day. Yesterday, I talked to the gal in the office and took out the garbage as breaks from the book. I was going to watch some television after taking care of my games for the night but did one last chapter instead. I edited 7 chapters yesterday. I most likely won't get that much done today as I'm doing laundry today. My son will be picking me up at some point. He hasn't called yet to let me know when.

Hey Dianne I am so happy to read a post by you. I am also happy to know that eveything is under control in your life! Happy Fridianne! As for me it was all day indoors doing household chores. I really needed to take care of my house being that my parents are at my sister's spending some time there.
