GOOD MORNING AVA AND ALL!
Dawn came up sunny and beautiful here at Goog's----my free campsite. I sat at the pond's edge having my morning coffee, listening to the roosters, cows, horses, and myriads of birds here. Robins, blue jays, sandhill cranes, goldfinches, sparrows of all sorts, vultures, eagles, hawks---you name it, are all here and very busy. It was cold in the night, but my furnace kept me and Molly nice and toasty.
The kids and I played a new type of Trivial Pursuit last night, one in which you can bet on the other person's knowing how to answer the question correctly. It became very apparent that they could win by betting that I would NOT know the answers! It was interesting, if not humiliating, to know just how little I really do recall about things going on in the world!
Goog is out fishing in his pond this morning, and Melissa is doing something in the house. I plan to take a few days off from housework, maybe go to the lakeside paths for walks in St. Cloud, check out the auction house goods down the road, and just kick back. I finally got the last panel of screening replaced in the screen room yesterday before I left Orlando, not without a great deal of innovation to keep the darned thing in place while I was splining it! When I go back, I will tackle the much easier front door and small door to the screen room. It makes such a difference to be rid of those ancient (almost 30-years old) screens and deteriorating splining.
Coffee is hot and is tasting extra good this morning, so stop by and tell us what's up!
