No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Okay, what's next?

Two newsletters ready to go so far today and soon I leave for the groomers. My hair is so long right now that it barely has the strength to stand up. This will be the first time I have gone twice in a month, since I had it cut after getting back from WI. The soonest I could get in then was the 7th so it's only 22 days apart. Barb did not cut off as much last time because I wanted to try not making it too short, but this has not worked out the best for me. Folks still tell me they like it but I am not tickled with the bushy look. But, really, it's not that big a deal, especially since I am not in the pool these days!

Yesterday was Bible study, with Pastor leading it this time, on the topic of "Angels and Demons". We had a good house of 12 people, minus Kristi, who was having knee replacement surgery. (Later I heard all went well and she was in recovery.) We have one man in the group, recently baptized at GS, and now in BIC privately. His wife comes, too, a former member, the daughter of one of our current members. 

Lunch was at Longhorn, as expected, though we did miss last week due to the pastor's conference. I again had the small sirloin with green beans, eating every bit of it. The perfect lunch for me in size and flavor! Maybe I will have it again tomorrow when I meet my two lady friends from Rosewood, Robin C. and Betty. It's been far too long between visits!!!

While I was enjoying my lunch with the ladies, Justin sent me a text message, asking me to stop at the garage where the yard sale will be. Jesse and he needed my advice on pricing some of the nicer pieces of furniture. Oh my goodness! I fell in love with a curio cabinet I have no room for but would absolutely LOVE to have. And a red sculpted edged bowl...There was a pie safe, much like my sister would buy, but I cannot tell if it's antique or a reproduction. No matter what, I can't imagine where I would put that curio cabinet, but yet.....

Last night I attended a jewelry show at my neighbor's unit. I did not need to drive or even use the elevator for this outing. I was not all dressed up but did wear my cute shoes which made up for my outfit. The hostess, Elizabeth, had several of her friends there, former neighbors of hers from Eagle Harbor. One lady used to work in my dentist's office and the consultant worked at the front desk of the sales office EH years ago. Small world! And one of her best friends, not at the party, is from Manitowoc. Win-win! Oh, I bought no jewelry either, just took the hostess' invitation at its word and enjoyed the company and snacks!
