Walk in the Woods - St. Patrick's Party - Council - Sip and Paint

 Shalimar, Fl   (Hi 71  Lo 51)

Jim Morris, a resident here, sent me these pictures this morning!  I love them. (Click on the photos to enlarge).

Saturday we had a group of us go thru the path in the woods. The Red Horse group was working on cleaning it up and it's coming together. There's three main paths and quiet, good for meditation and relaxation. Thank you activities for the idea. There's so many people that haven't been in the woods.

The downside, I had three tiny ticks on me when I got out. I'll spray myself next time. 

The rest of the week was normal with a few things thrown in. Recap for a normal week. 

Monday and Wednesday is WII bowling, (staying even most of the time with low 175 score averages. 

Tuesday Diamond art in the morning and meditation in afternoon. 

Wednesday afternoons is three hours of Hand and Foot card game. 

Thursday afternoons I go to the crochet group, we learn, laugh and crochet or knit. 

Friday is catch up day, house work, groceries etc.  At 4:00 on Friday and Sunday is the Ukulele lessons. It's fun to learn and play with several others.   The weekly zoom with friends in the Carolina's is in the evening every Friday. Every night except Saturday (social hour), I play card game called 31. 

This week on Monday, it was St. Patrick's day party in the evening. We had great snacks and several of us got together from our village. 

I was on  a few zoom meetings all thru the week. Nothing is set in stone, just being flexible. I also help people with their phones and PC's especially on the scams. There's always questions. 

Wednesday was resident council meeting. The managers talk about what's going on in the community and update us on what is in the future. There's been new people hired lately and some have moved on. It's always informative and it's every other month.  

Thursday after a couple hours at crochet group I had my monthly massage and chiropractor appointment. I have arthritis in the neck so I keep it moving by having monthly appointments.

  

Friday afternoon I went to sip and paint. It's a craft of the month. I don't care for tole painting which is another class I could go to. This is my picture.

                                            Mary Ann is the teacher, this is hers that we followed.

I'm on a zoom chat every night, but when I'm sitting and doing nothing, I crochet. This week I did two crabs, now I'll be making a few of them for the craft fair in August. 

I still have 13 more orders to make, so I'll be busy in my down time. 

Friday morning a few of the air force military came to clean my gutters. We put in requests and once a month a bunch of the military come over and get everything we need done. What a deal!

The activities team is getting ready for April, and this is the craft we'll be doing. I love it. It would be a great center piece to put in chips, crackers, cookies etc and sauces in the center. It's big but for big parties it would be great. Oh, and wall hangings.

I want to leave you with something special. My sister took a picture of this red tailed hawk that came to her patio and looked like he was sending a message. He's beautiful!

My son sent this picture after the tornados and storms in northern Illinois.
