Hey Babe,
Had another great night sleep, though having gone to bed so early, I woke up shortly after 6:00. I read a little, but then decided to get up in time to watch the sun rise at 7:12, so after reading a bit, I got dressed and went downstairs. Don was up, but Toni hadn’t come down yet, and Lola wasn’t ready to come down either, would you believe! She was still curled up in her bed, snug as a bug in a rug. I left the door open so she could come down when she wanted. I watched the sunrise, then had breakfast with Toni after a bit, then Lola finally wandered downstairs and I fed her. Eventually we went outside for a bit, I took her down to the beach, where Miles, one of the authors who had been here for cocktails yesterday, was walking his dog Rusty on the beach, so we chatted and played with the dogs for a bit. Toni and Don had an appointment around 11:30 to get their Covid vaccines, so I finished packing up, got everything out to the truck where we said our good-byes, and they headed off, just as I got a phone call from the orthopedic doctor’s office in WPB. It seems he would rather not send me to the conveniently-located guy in Hobe Sound, because his specialty is knee replacement, which is not the surgery I need, so he would prefer I go to the guy in Coral Springs. We managed to set an appointment for tomorrow, which is good that it’s sooner, I’m just not looking forward to the long drive, especially with traffic. Fortunately, it’s not far off the turnpike, so I’m going to get one of Jeff’s Sun pass boxes so I can whip through the toll booths. I had an uneventful drive home, with a stop for fuel so I’d have enough for tomorrow’s trip, and one at Publix to pick up some things I had forgotten the other day. Was back in early afternoon, and I just hung out for the afternoon. Eventually Jeff came by, I guess he was working on the trailer in back, and we chatted. He managed to get his Bronco going, it had been blocking the driveway practically since I’ve been here, so we’ve all been having to drive across the lawn to get back here, but he was finally able to move it out of the way. We soon fed the horses, he found his spare Sun pass, and then I settled down for the night, doing several loads of laundry and just getting back into the routine once again. It was nice to break out of it, to be able to have some enlightening and intellectual discussions with friends for the weekend, and I’m hoping I’ll have a chance to go once more time before we both leave out of Florida, but we’ll see. I may just come up to their place in VA, too, who knows? Anyway, it’s getting close to bedtime, so I’ll say goodnight now that I’ve caught up on my letters. Love you, darlin’!
