What a fun day with friends celebrating my upcoming birthday. Mark and I started the day with him driving Daisy and me in Toad and off to get new tires for Daisy. We then drove Toad to The Sweet Bean Café (a favorite) for breakfast (their grilled cinnamon bread is WONDERFUL)!
Mark took me to Starbucks downtown and off he went. I had my skinny vanilla latte, read my kindle and chatted with Patty while waiting for Kathy and Claire to arrive. They each got their drinks, we sat a bit and visited and then off to hit the shops. We all had good luck and then to Cabo Cantina for a glass of wine before we headed to the Wisteria Tea Room for fabulous lunch and tea.

celebrating with dear friends!
The girls dropped me off at Preppy in Paradise and they went on home to Fort Myers Beach. Mark picked me up and back to Daisy and happy hour with Bill and Charmaine.
Too many leftover boxes in fridge, so time to tackle those for supper (only 1).....there's always tomorrow....
Mark took Toad back late morning to pick up Daisy with her new tires. He has had some soreness in his mid section (thinking he bruised ribs?) But then a rash developed 2 days ago? This was just one side. I was telling the girls about it and they both immediately said "shingles"! Whoaaaa....
Mark went to Urgent Care and sure enough, he has shingles. He's on pills 3x a day for 1 week. He's really not bothered by the rash and just occasional discomfort with the soreness, so....hopefully caught it in time! Great diagnosis girls and sure thankful they had this figured out immediately!
According to the doctor we all have this shingle virus that lies dormant (from chicken pox) and stress or other factors can cause it to come out?
Not sure how long he would've waited before going to doctor? He had the shingles shot when he turned 60 and thought it was for life.....next year they are coming out with another vaccine that is supposed to be more effective!
Liam's 7th grade basketball team placed 2nd in the class 2A state tournament last night!
Way to go Corpus Christi Saints!
Yesterday he went for his 13-year check-up and cheered on his classmates last night at the game. But today he came home from school with a sore throat and went to bed! Arghhh
