This is a little long today as I haven't updated in a few days!
This week so far have been a little bit of this and that. Monday facetimed with Sean and Finn. They were home due to a school holiday. Then I went to the bank to open a local checking account. We tried to do it on Saturday but I forgot I have our credit locked or frozen so I had to thaw it out first before we could open the account. Took longer than I expected but finally got it done and made an appointment for Richard to go in the afternoon so they could add him to the account. Then I took a drive down to Boynton Beach ( about 30 miles south) to a lighting store that carries a light I saw online that I liked and they carried that brand. Of course they didn't have any in stock or on display but they did an estimate and gave me the builders discount so at least they are now reasonably priced. Still looking but haven't found any I like as much. Who would have thought picking out lights would be so time consuming and hard! We will have to look at them every day, so we want something that will look good a long time. I love the new modern LED lights in various designs but I think they will get dated fast just like the Edison lights that seem to be all the fashion right now. A quick stop at Whole foods and home in time to put stuff away before Richard got home from Golf. We headed out to go to the bank, I stopped in my car to get the folder from that morning and tripped on the concrete curb in front of the car and went smack down flat on my face! That ended our bank excursion as I spent the rest of the afternoon icing my knee and face! But no broken bones or broken bones or bleeding cuts! But alas my phone went flying and cracked the glass. Richard took me out to eat at Cafe Sole so we wouldn't have to mess around in the kitchen. Tuesday I tried for an Apple Store appointment but they were booked. Much to my surprise I found out that Best Buy is now an authorized repair center and they did have an appointment. When I got there to get the glass replaced, they took off the case and turns out the back side was cracked as well. Oh boy, am I glad I have apple care!!! They replaced the whole phone, updated the IOS and restored the phone from back up and an hour or so later, I walked out all set with my new phone. We did go to the bank in the afternoon and get everything squared away for a local bank. Really the only reason we need one is to get cash out now and then. Most everything we do is online anyway. We called Richard's Aunt Beedee who turned 92 on Tuesday. She and Richard are 20 years and one day apart. We sang her Happy Birthday and then she sang him Happy Birthday in Polish. Today October 2nd is Richard's birthday. Now we are the same age for 6 months!! We celebrated by having an early dinner or late lunch at a new restaurant the Great Greek. He loves Greek salad's and so we thought we would try it out. His was excellent and he added chicken on his. I had the Greek rice bowl with lamb. Hot rice Pilaf surrounded by salad and chickpeas and topped with a kabob of lamb. ( i don't think they call it a kabob). I was amazed how good it was. We will go back for sure. Next stop was the new house. We have 4 small sickly palm trees in the bed in the courtyard today the landscapers were coming to remove them. I had mixed feeling about taking them down but this variety has berries that make a terrible mess all over the courtyard and one was dead already. I have to admit it looks so much better with out them. And the big palms outside the courtyard can now grow our way and provide a bit of shade. Now I have a blank slate to plant in. So that will be fun once I get all the weeds cleaned up that are growing between all the pavers. While we were at the house we got a package for Richard that had a birthday cake from our Merrill Advisor team! So we came home and ate it. And so that is all the news to date. Tomorrow Comcast comes to the new house to get all the cable connections in the right places. Hopefully our electrical inspection will take place so they can start the drywall. And maybe the windows will arrive so they can start that installation this week. Stay tuned!!!
