Busy week here. For Valentines day, Doug got me this beautiful hydrangea. Sure hope it survives to make it home. I never have good luck with them but the colors are so pretty. We also went to dinner at the restaurant here and had a great meal. Then the next night we went out again for dinner and a show- the monthly murder mystery here. Good for lots of laughs. No one figured out the murderer. 
Doug's been fishing a few times this week but no luck. Still trying to figure out the tides, moon and whatever else seems to influence the fish biting. Still, a bad day fishing is better then any day at work!

I got in the pool twice this week, I'm up to 7 laps now. We tried swimming on my stomach but Doug was afraid I'd sink and he didn't want to play lifeguard so I'm still looking for someone to help with the swimming.
This weekend was overcast both days but very humid. Reached 80 without any sun. Very windy today too, felt like a warm fall day with leaves falling all over.  So weird to hear talk of spring coming when I feel like it's August and fall is on the way.

A week in the life of. . .

Days go by quickly. There is so much to do here at Sun n Fun that we still haven't found time to visit some of the local sights. We did go to see Tim Conway a couple weeks ago. He's still very funny, laughed from beginning to end. Last night we saw a show right here at the resort, a 3 man band  playing 30 instruments with a lot of comedy thrown in.

Doug continues to squeeze in fishing whenever he can and the tide cooperates. I've talked him out of going when it's high tide at 3am. He deep fried some of the fish he caught last month, it was delicious and we had enough to share with our neighbors. I'm actually sitting in the car right now while he's out on the jetty. It's a little windy and overcast. Of course at 78 degrees, I'm not complaining, just wanted to make use of my time here.

We learned a new game called Petanque (pa-tonk).  Very similar to bocce but played on a gravel court about 5' x 20'. we play with different people every time so have had opportunity to meet a lot of new people.   Wish I could remember all their names!

I've been using the new fitness center weight room. Had a trainer finesse a program for me. I'm noticing a difference.  We've been to the pool a few more times. I do laps for about 1/2 hour on my back. Am looking for a swimming instructor to help me do the crawl. May have to fly my niece Jennifer down here to teach me! (wonder how long it'll be before she contacts me! LOL).
 That's all for now. I really need to do more picture taking. I've been taking beading classes and making jewelry. will show some of that next time.
