what a difference a year makes!

Yesterday we had Boo groomed and I decided to have him cut short. After all the weather is turning warmer...or is it? Today the high was around 80 a 20 degree drop from yesterday. This picture was taken today



And this picture was taken a year ago on March 29th! Boo's coloring hasn't changed much, but I think he's a bit lighter on the back.
Overnight a cold front came though and boy was it windy! We went to sleep with the ac running but Jim had to get up around 0030 to take down the flags. We could also hear the awnings creaking. I'm not sure how Jim slept! But he did...

I was up at 0715 and woke Jim up 30 minutes later because we had a date with friends for breakfast. There was a farewell pancake breakfast at the clubhouse. Quite a few people showed up at 0800. We took our own coffee, but enjoyed pancakes, sausage, fruit cocktail and orange juice. We were offered seconds on everything but most of us declined.


Once we got home Jim did dishes while I stripped the bed and got the sheets ready to launder. Jim vacuumed and then cleaned the carpet with Anne's Carpet cleaner. Just the high traffic areas. With our low humidity it didn't take long to dry. Then he went outside to vacuum the truck.

I continued with the sheets. Around noon I had a salad for lunch and sat outside to eat it. The temperature was 75 and the weather was simple gorgeous! All through the resort folks were out and about enjoying the cooler sunny afternoon.

Dave and Jim spent time at Scotty's helping with the boat. Even Anne was working along side them. Then she went off to do laundry also.

I'm not sure what time I decided to sit outside with my glass of wine but in no time we had a patio full of people. Dave stopped by with some seafood salad for happy hour and Anne came over and Carole stopped by. Then Karen wheeled up and the guys came over from next door and viola! Happy hour was upon us. Chips, salsa, seafood salad and cracker, Jello shots. I had roasted some Brussel sprouts, potatoes and garlic and set those out. Wine, beer and Baileys mint chocolate were the drinks. We had a good time!

After Karen and Dave left we decided to take a ride around the resort and we stopped and visited Karen and Dave! LOL The evening was just to nice to end. But we did.

Once home we tidied up our patio with the help of Anne. Inside I did the dishes, then showered and now here I sit. We're watching Journey to the Center of the Earth on the Hallmark channel.
