Friday - August 8

 Another pretty warm, sunny summer day.   Boy, I slept in till almost 8:30 - guess that water and sunshine yesterday really did me in!    Actually, we girls all slept in - Mark got up at his usual 5:30 AM time😕   

Brooke and I walked downtown to Coffee Express and got coffees, pastries, quiche and on home.    Mark was working on a Flo project.    Then we girls took off for shopping - we did some major damage at "Newport", "Fabulous Female" and Lake House".    I got several Christmas gifts but the best part was that from August 1-14, the state of Ohio does not charge sales tax.   Lydia (sister-in-law) had mentioned on zoom that in Missouri, they have 1 weekend of no tax but it's only on school-related items (clothes, shoes, supplies, etc.)    No tax for anything we bought today!    WOW....nice treat!

After our shopping, we came back to the marina, picked up Grandpa and went to The Tackle Box II for a late lunch - such a fun place and food was great as always.

Brooke, Blair and I played SkyJo with Brooke the winner.....then Rummikub with Brooke and myself.    We took a break and went to Scooter's for ice cream.   Met a new couple in the marina - Sylvia and George from FL.    They have a big power catamaran (Sly Cat) and are currently doing the Loop.

Donna on "So Blessed" is entertaining her sisters this week - short visit with her and she met Brooke and Blair.   Brooke and I played 2 more games of rummikub (score is ongoing)...and then nighty night.
