Pelicans - Movie - Puzzle Done

Auburndale, FL  (Hi 75   Lo  67)

We had a great time watching pelicans in the canal behind us on Monday. They don't visit our lake very often because of other bigger lakes around us. There was a group that would dive under water for food while another one would stand watch. There was also a Woodstork hanging around with them.

We also had a lot of Ibis, and a black one which we've never seen here before. 
It's been a colder winter then usual in Florida. It's really warm over 80 then a couple days later it's low 40's or some areas are 30's. We even had frost this week. It's back and forth.

Jim is a big James Bond fan. One of our local theaters showed the first Bond movie, Dr. No. He's seen it many times, including in a theater when he was 12 years old in 1962. He really enjoyed seeing it on the big screen again. He was the only one there, so no social distancing was required. We're not sure how theaters can stay open, but they're trying their best. 

I've been really busy going back and forth crocheting and working on puzzles. This one took a few weeks. I don't work all day on them as I have crocheting orders to get done. It's a nice break between the two hobbies. 

The week went fast. It's great having things to do and passing the time during Covid19. 

I have to mention how proud we are of our grandson:

Men's Volleyball  CU Athletics

Tiger volleyball adds Kendall Walter to signing class of 2021

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – It was a busy January both on and off the court for Campbellsville University men's volleyball as they announce their fourth signing of the month in Kendall Walter.

 
Walter is a 6-3 middle blocker from O'Fallon, Ill. as he committed to join the Tigers starting in the 2021-22 school year. At O'Fallon Township High School, Walter and his team finished as the two-time regional and conference champions.
 
Men's volleyball head coach Eric Snyder has a strong recent history in bringing in middle blockers from Illinois as Ramon Matos, a Chicago, Ill. native, came in for the 2019-20 year as he finished the shortened 2020 season as an All-American.
 
Away from volleyball, Walter plays basketball and he volunteers coaching youth volleyball and helping with his school's girls' team during the fall while being an honor roll student at O'Fallon Township.
 
Walter joins a deep 2021 recruiting class as he joins Andrew Steinmetz, John-Marcos Gonzalez, Antonio Cintron, Erik Malek, Niklas Held, and Moritz Frauendorf.

You're still keeping busy.
You don't want our temps.
Congrats to Kendall.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.

I love watching water fowl.

I've thought of doing puzzles but don't know where I'd put it. My OCD would kick in if left on dining room table. In the RV I had a piece of plywood that I could put under the bed when not working on the puzzle. Could do that here I guess.

You are so right to be proud of your grandson.
