Rain, Rain, and more Rain.   This is supposed to be the dry season.  But at least we are not in California.

I ran some errands when rain stopped.  Pat worked on the social calendar.  We were hoping to get a call for Physical Therapy as she's on the waitlist.  No Luck.  She had to cancel the tomorrow session in order to see the ENT PA for her ears.  Looking forward to getting some answers and ears cleaned.

Got in one walk around the park.  Sun came out and turned into a beautiful day.

My sister Janet and her husband Michael got to Fort Myers very late last night.  Unfortunately she caught a very bad cold from her grandsons.  They wanted to lay low today and avoid us so dinner plans canceled.

We were going to do take out from Cracker Barrel, but internet went out so no on line menu to use.  At the last minute we made an impromptu decision to just go to Rib City.  Had a very good meal including dessert.  Oink, Oink.   (Dessert was my idea 😀)  

 When we got home internet was back,  we are so lost without it!

Today is Liam's 19th birthday.  He was home to Bloomington this weekend for dermatologist appointment and see family and friends.  He went back to Univ of Iowa today.

Happy Birthday Liam

We had tornado watch this morning so we canceled our plans for church and breakfast with Joe and Barb down the street.   Pat and I went to earlier mass at 9:00 at St Vincent dePaul.  Pat was able to make the sign of the cross with her right hand today.  Accident was 12 weeks ago today.

Must have rained a bunch during church as we had lots of puddles when we got out.   Most all the rain was done by 11 a.m.

Pat talked to a dear friend Missy from Arizona.   I took 2 walks around the park while they were chatting.  Then Pat and I did another round in the park.

Zoom tonight with 8 siblings.  Topics included travel plans, weather and health.

Met Doug, Charlotte, Bob, Linda for breakfast at Buckingham Farms.  Good as always.  After breakfast we had to check on the huge tortoise - Booger.

Booger - very alert

Everyone went their separate way.  We had a great time with Bob and Linda.

Laundry today. Pat can now do it herself.  I just carry the baskets out and back.

Walked a couple of times in the park.

Michael and Philip both called to check in.   Michael and Ryan are back from their ski trip to Jackson Hole, WY with 4 other guys.  Good time, and no broken bones.

Another big day. Picked up Bob and Linda and off to Skillet's for breakfast.  Then on to Victoria's Place for ladies shopping.  Bob and I sat in car and watched a constant stream of ladies coming and going.  Very few came out without a package.

From there we went to Seed to Table in Naples.  We had all been there before except Bob.  He needed to experience the store.

It is now early afternoon so we headed to Sun Harvest for more shopping and ice cream.  Chocolate and Key Lime twist for everyone.  Bob bought a couple of 1000 piece puzzles.

On back to our place to relax and play two games of Euchre.  Bob and Mark were the winners.  

For dinner we went to Boat House.  Always a favorite.

Took Bob and Linda home then back to Flo to watch Brady and Patton High School play East Rutherford.  Patton won 54 to 35.

Annette sent a picture of Luke dissecting a frog today at school.

Started the day with 9 a.m. therapy.  Jeff feels the range of motion for the shoulder is not progressing as desired.  Pat may need up to 8 more weeks of therapy after the end of February.  Pat went ahead and filled the schedule until the end of April.

Then we went for late breakfast at McGregor Café.   Very good breakfast.

To Dick's Sporting Goods to buy the 2.5 lbs wrist weights.  Jeff feels she'll move up from the smaller ones soon.

Noon haircut appointment with Jewel.   Pat always enjoys catching up with her.

Next we met up with Brother Bob and Linda at Wilford & Lee.   Bob and I stayed out in the car and caught up.

Then to Anthony's for more shopping.  When done we went to La Ole at Bell Tower for drinks and nachos.  We also called Pat's other brother Ron for his birthday.  Happy Birthday Ron (84).  Hope I'm as active as he is when I am that age.

Bob, Pat, Mark, Linda

Next stop, early dinner at Prawnbroker.  Good as always.   Then back to the Hyatt for Bob and Linda to check in.   We played one full game of SkyJo.  Linda was the winner by a big margin.

Back home settling in after a very full day.
