Another Special Day with our Special Friends!

Ken and I were up at 7 to get ready to go to Church.  It was only 47 degrees, so Ken put on his jeans, a 1st for many months!  The 4 of us left for Church at 8:30 and returned to Suncoast, the Church we had attended and enjoyed so much last Sunday.  Again, we were thrilled with their service and came out with some "gems of wisdom" from their pastor!

We were back to the CG by 10:45 and by 11 we were on our way to the pickleball courts.  What a great morning for playing - cool but only a mild breeze.  The 4 of us just can't get enough of this game and the special part is that each one of us feels the same way!  We played 8 games, changing partners frequently and are thrilled with how we are improving and having such good volleys!  

When we were leaving the courts at 1:30 Melissa said she heard Sonny's BBQ calling our names!  She said she was starved and felt we better pay attention to the "calling".  Since it was only about 5 minutes away, we were we to do.  As per usual, it was delicious!

We left there and went to Tervis Tumbler Outlet.  I wanted to return 2 defective tumblers, and Melissa and Chuck wanted to buy their 1st ones!  Unfortunately, the outlet no longer replaces them.  You either have to mail them to the company or return them to the factory, which is only about 4 miles from our CG.  Melissa and Chuck made their purchases and later this week Ken and I will take ours to the factory for replacements.

After a phone conversation with my mother, the 4 of us went to play a game of shuffleboard.  It was an extremely close "bully game", but the men won!  We stopped after 1 game, since Chuck was having a problem with tiny black bugs that kept biting him.  For some reason they only "picked" on him!  Not sure what that means!!!!!!

Ken and I found a new use for the shuffleboard sticks -
chin props!  Maybe we should go on Shark Tank
with a new invention!

Back to Waldo to watch some football, get some birthday cards ready to mail, and then download photos and work on my blog.  Chuck and Melissa came to play games around 7.  Women won Spades and Pinochle, but the men won Skip-Bo. Chuck was having some shoulder pain from pickleball and I thought I could help him with some cold compresses.  The cold pack won't stay on his shoulder so I got some green tie ribbon to try to hold it in place.  Didn't work very well, but it was fun trying.

I really wasn't doing a choker hold!  Just trying
to put the tie around his upper arm to hold the
cold pack in place.  We gave up!!!!  I needed
a more cooperative patient!!!!

 Another fun day in Paradise!
