Busy Week - Painting - Fire Prevention Week - Happy Hour


 Shalimar, FL   (Hi 83   Lo  65)  It's starting to stay out of the 90's

I'm feeling a lot better, one of the gals said for as weak as I was, I wasn't eating enough, and she was right, I doubled up and felt better in two days.  I've lost 22 pounds not intending to, so all is good with getting more food intake. 

I had chiropractor appointment on Monday. My hip slipped and sciatica was a real pain. He got the hip back in place and I was fine. Sure glad I learned that a long time ago, a chiropractor is the answer for me. 

Tuesday I had diamond art, than meditation  and meeting with the activities gals for next years projects for end of life paperwork. I really want to start discussions of circle of life but not sure how as yet. It's a hard subject to get into, but it's very important. 

Wednesday was the first meeting with fire prevention. We had a fire inspector talk about safety and fire prevention.            (Click on the photos to enlarge)

After that meeting I went to sip and paint. This time it was a tree full of colored leaves, done by a qtip. (I'm second from the right)
This week they were putting in a path thru the villages and our village got their path. They put a pile of fine rock in the middle of the road and used a little bobcat? to put the rock in the path. 


They'll put some sort of top to keep it all in place later. 
Later in the afternoon I went to core exercise. That was fun and did some good without hurting. They do some series of exercise every week. I was ready for a nap when I got home. 

Thursday was the next fire prevention class talking mostly about how to use a fire extinguisher. We got to use a extinguisher to learn how to pull the ring and spray. 
I even tried, it's easier then I thought it would be.


I finally got back to crochet group the rest of the afternoon.

Friday started with coffee talk. That's fun time to learn about your neighbors and how you did things from your country or state. Topic was favorite ways to bring in fall or Halloween. 
At 3:00 we went to the commons for Bobby D, a DJ that's been with us many times and loved by many. He does a really good job with dancing music for our age groups. Good food and lots of dancing. 
A long line at the booze booth.
Joel is the new guy in our village. We brought our own snacks. 
How low can you go.

I got another Gnome done, this one the Steelers.
Saturday I wanted to get gas in the car, so took off and the tire light was on. I went to a car care place and they filled the tires. I decided on getting oil changed and they fixed the glove compartment. The handle broke so I couldn't get in. That was a quick stop and they did a good job. Tomorrow I'm going to Navarre. I'll tell why in next week's blog.
