....and it's not over yet. Morning came at the usual time today, with Becker being the one to whom I awakened. I think I liked Ted Danson better as a bartender than a surly doctor. When Jerry and George were meeting with the NBC people to peddle their pilot, George kept insisting that NBC meet Ted Danson's salary for them!!! Not anymore, Ted's pretty much dropped off the TV radar!

Usually I watch "Fox and Friends" in the a.m. but sometimes I'll just watch whatever is on after Becker. I've taken a liking to JAG, a show about military attorneys who represent service members. Today they were at NAS-JAX which I thought was really cool! They showed the gate and landing areas, just like I see whenever driving past the base.

Friday early the electricians are coming to install a new ceiling fan light for over my desk. These are the same people who did the electric for the home building business and have done some for me my past two homes. The current fixture is a school-house style and fails to illuminate my desk area which is important for late day work at the desk. I went to Home Depot to get the light kit, plus bulbs and pulls for the fans. I have to jump to grab some of the chains so adding the extra length will be just dandy--plus they are pretty glass-style. Perfect!

After my shopping, Justin and I met for lunch at Ruby Tuesday. I just love their triple prime burger and the mashed cauliflower. The bun goes to waste though as I leave that behind. Mom would have loved the tomatoes, as they also went to waste. Neither Justin nor I like to eat a tomato straight up! Justin liked his turkey burger, using his bun the way it should be and even ate his fries. The mashed cauliflower tastes so much better than their fries do, in my opinion.

A dear lady at church can no longer attend due to an illness so I took a nice ride out to one of the neighborhoods where we used to live. It's the same one where we found the "snake" floating in the swimming pool way back when Justin was a baby. In case you don't remember, one of the two babies' diapers let loose their stuffings which looked like a snake to us. Anyway, it was a nice afternoon visit to Fireside, spending time this lovely lady. At one time, three of our church members lived out there but now it's down to two. It's become such a "mature" looking neighborhood, the trees all grown, and apparently the entire community is built out. After such a rocky beginning, wonderful to see how far its come!

Last night after getting home from Bible Bites, it was still light. As I sat at the computer, I spotted a couple manatees frolicking in the basin. I wish it stayed light later so I could see more, but then night fell! It seems they must stay away when the machinery is working in the basin, but once the work stops, here come the couples!

This evening I am meeting with Dee, Kris, and some other "artists" for an "invitation only" painting session--ahem, ahem! One of the ladies works in a school and we are using her classroom for our workshop. This is really exciting for me, to be "influenced" by these notable, genuine artists. Dee wants to be the only one I learn from, as if it is possible for me to be taught! Jill, no need to scold, I know, I know..........By the way, Jill, I am sorry that you spit your food out last night!!!!!
