Hi Everyone.

I have been working in the yard and messing around the house, decluttering. I am determined to shed some stuff. It is difficult to pick and choose what to let go. I know as soon as I get rid of something, somewhere down the line I’ll want it. Have you ever done that? Doesn’t matter though, gotta let it go.

Mr Wonderful has been working for The Pensacola Blue Wahoos all week and I am enjoying my alone time. Thanks to my brother in law, I am binging on Walking Dead. I know I am a bit behind the times, but he got me hooked. Gotta run. Got some zombies to kill. LOL

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Hi Everyone. With Easter and a visit from my brother in law, this has been a busy week. He is a Type A personality and helped us take care of a couple of projects around the house.

The Pensacola Beach ball is being repainted. What does this look like to you?

I have been catching up on some blogging and reading. The weather has been fantastic. Today it looks like we might get some rain but we need it, so that’s okay. Hope you had a great week and another coming up.

Hi Everyone.

Well, I had a busy week. Went to my mother in law’s for Easter.

May be an image of bird and nature
Ruby throated hummingbird. My mother in law has many guests at her feeders.

We went to the Birmingham Stallion’s USFL football game.

May be an image of 4 people, stadium and outdoors
Mr Wonderful, Me, Ashley and Ricky Trull, Mr W’s cousin and his wife, at the Birmingham Stallion USFL football game. I am wearing his 40 year old Stallion jacket and he is wearing his 40 year old hat. A fun time was had by all.

My mother in law prepared a small dinner for Mr Wonderful’s brother, his cousin and us.

She always has nice table decor.

We did some work around the house, had some barbecue, and headed home. On Thursday we went to the Pensacola Blue Wahoo’s minor league baseball game. My brother in law threw out the first pitch.

Here we are on the field with Kazoo.

We always managed to keep ourselves at a distance and wore a mask when necessary, but my stress level was off the charts. I feel even less confident being in direct contact with people, but I am glad to have gotten out. I think it will be easier to be out and about, but I will stay vigilant. Now, I am ready to stay home for a while. I feel tired and I think a lot of it was to do with being around people.

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Hi Everyone. My week in pics.

I made it to The Masters for the second time in 2006.

My favorite golfer of all time.
May be an image of 3 people, people standing and outdoors
Tiger has made a historic impact on the game of golf. I love him and am so impressed that he has come back so quickly. I hope he continues to play for many years to come.

The other day, The Mentalist was on all day, so I binge watched it. I love the show, but I rarely get the chance to watch any reruns. I had hoped it would run to the end of the series, but it didn’t. I tried to catch the opening, but I didn’t think to take a pic.

Mentalist: noun, someone who uses mental acuity, hypnosis/and or suggestion. A master manipulator of thoughts and behavior.

Mr Wonderful is working for the Blue Wahoos, Pensacola’s minor league baseball team and will be at the ballfield today and tomorrow, so I will be binge watching Twilight…again. I just can’t help myself.

I also wanted to share with you a giveaway from a favorite author of mine Chrys Fey. If you would like to check out her books and how I felt, drop by HERE.

Chrys Fey is hosting a GIVEAWAY for a signed paperback of her romantic-suspense novella A Fighting Chance and other goodies! 
APRIL 5 – 22
PRIZES: Signed paperback copy of A Fighting Chance, XOXO wall art décor, XO bath bombs coconut scent, travel size first aid kit, and an emergency flashlight that you recharge by squeezing.

Hi Everyone. We have had some wild weather this week. Everything from calm winds and sunny skies to severe thunderstorms. Typical spring weather for the south…except the bad weather seems to be more frequent than it used to. Maybe it’s just me. Either way, I am happy to see summer on its way. Mr Wonderful and I have been working outside and enjoying it. Hope you had a great week and have a good one coming up.

Hi Everyone. Not much new going on. Had some storms go through. No big deal. It is spring in the south, so that is normal. Some wind, some rain and best of all, some sun. Today it is bright and chilly, but it will warm up and I will be doing some cleanup around the pool and patio. If there is a leaf, it finds the pool. Have a super week.

Hi Everyone. Not a whole lot to talk about. The weeks and months are seeming to run together, though I am excited about working outside…in the pollen. LOL I did some work but remembered to wear my mask, so my allergies weren’t too bad. I did leave a wheelbarrow full of leaves and it is raining, so I’m sure that will be one soggy mess. Oh well, I least I got some cleanup done.

Did some reading and caught up on writing reviews for the books I have read. I am doing pretty good about keeping up with them. I have plenty sitting in my draft folder, ready to go. I was going to try and review everything I read, but I am having a hard time working them in.

How about you? What have you been up to? Any great books you want to share? Have you been traveling…yet? I was actually out a couple times this week. We went to the bank to have Mr Wonderful’s application for retirements notarized and went to the beach to see the Blue Angel’s come home from California. It was chilly that day, but so nice to be out and about. Right now, it’s raining, a steady downpour. It is spring in the south, so that is to be expected. We were lucky the last week. We had some steady rain, but not a huge accumulation, and lots of wind. Knocked the last of the leaves off the trees, so that is a good thing. lol

Hi Everyone. It has been a quiet week. Mr Wonderful worked some freelance, we cleaned the pool, though it is full of leaves again. We had some great weather, but rain has moved in. We are supposed to have some severe weather in the next day or two, but that is normal for this time of year. Time to hunker down, binge on Below Deck and watch some of The Players Tournament, that is having lots of weather too.

Hi Everyone. All right…I have been doing a lot of reading and blogging, but have also gotten out in the yard. I am getting the pool ready for swimming. I think the leaves have slacked off, so the robot can keep up with them. Now, it’s a matter of getting the chemicals up to par. I have also been cleaning up the yard a bit. It is very slow work, but slow and steady wins the race, right? I remember when I used to use a self propelling mower, walking the entire yard. HAH…those days are long gone. And that reminds me. I need to call the lawnmower repair people. We just spent a couple hundred bucks to fix it and it crapped out again. Now they want another five hundred bucks. I am still hesitant about paying for it. Maybe it’s time to get a new one. I will be really pissed if we fix it and it craps out before a year or two passes. This hits us hard, seeing Mr Wonderful no longer has a paycheck. We are playing a money game because of health insurance. We have to watch our income or we could be paying eleven hundred dollars a month. How in the hell do they expect us to do that?! Thank goodness he is getting some fantastic freelance work this week. F***** Covid! It put a hitch in our well laid plans. And speaking of Covid, I am hyping myself up to get out in the read world again. It’s hard, not only because of Covid, but because we have to watch our spending. What a bummer. To work so hard so we could not have to worry about bills and such…now it brings to mind those times we were wrapping coins to be able to go out. Life is…funny
