Nice surprise for Jim yesterday. He received a lovely dish garden from Mandy for Father's Day. It was wonderful to see the sweet expression that came over his face as he looked at the plant and read the card. I believe he was really touched and pleased.
See how happy he looks ------------------>
The garden is currently sitting on top of his computer, but we will move it soon. The heat from the computer will be too much for it.
The folks to the right of us are getting a patio enclosure or in their case, a"god-forbid-you-should-see-what-we're-doing" screen. Since we're not allowed privacy fences here, they're doing the next best thing. Homeland Security could take a lesson here.
The jigsaw puzzle begun last Saturday is slightly over half done. Every day, when I need a break, I add a few more pieces. I like having a puzzle going all the time and will probably buy another when this one is done. Bustopher has been wanting to help, but has resisted so far. I won't know for sure if he's had surrepticious involvement until I get to the end and find out he's taken some pieces. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of stealing, so if he likes it, it's his for the taking. Jim can tell a story about that :>).
The tomato plants are finally starting to form fruit - Yeah!!! The plants have cute little green tomatoes about the size of large marbles.... Now I have to watch for the tomato worms. They're ugly creatures - fat green worms the size of a little finger with a hinged jaw and a horn on their tail - no kidding - creepy. I was going to post a picture of one, but decided not to.
Sometime today I want to go to the clubhouse and get signed up for some of the many activities that go on around here. There's a mystery dinner coming up and Jim mentioned seeing a flyer about a fitness class that features various forms of exercise, including yoga. We need to check it out.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
