Alligator Watch - Million Dollars - Outside Camera

Auburndale, FL (Hi 80  Lo 75)

Florida is becoming more open with stores and restaurants, gyms and bars. The main malls, churches  and small stores are still not open. We'll see how it goes thru the next few weeks.

We have the little alligator in the retention pond and in the canal daily. A couple people were fishing across the fence in the next property and it was chasing the bait they were throwing in the canal. It was fun watching him go in the direction they'd throw the line. They finally gave up and went to the dock to fish. The alligator didn't follow them. It's fun watching birds and alligators outside our windows.

The puzzle I started May 10 is now done. It was a challenge. It's a million dollars. The whole puzzle was different bills and some were upside down and sideways. It's a fun puzzle to do with 1000 pieces. Now to the next one. (Click on the photos to enlarge)
 
There's been damage to cars (keying) and little misplaced stuff in the yard. There was a golfcart stolen which was found the next day. Someone is being mischievous so we decided to get an outdoor camera. My birthday is tomorrow (Sunday),  so it's a gift. I've been wanting one for awhile to keep an eye on "stuff". It's also part of the house that has no windows and also who's at the door and a watch on the car and golfcart. Our windows are on the lake side not in front or side. We can also watch for critters.

We went out Friday to get groceries so decided to eat at our favorite BBQ place Smokey Bones.


 
A couple things we've noticed, is the menus are paper copies and tables are separated. There hasn't been very many people (which is a good thing) each time we've gone out. It's nice to have a meal fixed and brought to us nice and hot. What a concept! (haha)

I'm still working two and three days at hospice on the computer. The new program still has glitches, but learning how to cope with them. It's a fun project and feels good to be helping them. Now that the puzzle is done, I think I'll go back to crocheting. I'll put in a picture when I'm done with the next project.

Another thing we've been doing is still keeping up with our zoom chats with the NC friends. We're staying in touch with everyone thru zoom, the chatroom that is nightly and for anyone with texting. It's great.

That was a big puzzle and probably confusing when bills were repeated. Nice that things are finally starting to open in your area.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.

We finally got out of eat INSIDE a restaurant during the week too. Applebees. They too have paper menus, no Salt and Pepper on the table as it comes with the utensils that are wrapped along with a napkin. Only every other table can be used and is wiped down after each use. All servers used masks.

We love watching our ducks on the pond. Our neighbor up the road owns the fields across from us. He had chickens, a pot bellied pig, some cattle and the peacocks. He's gotten rid of all of them. I miss watching them. Well maybe not the peacocks. They loved coming up on our porch and doing their business. Peacock poo is really stinky.
