sunny but cool

What has happened to the HOT weather? Mind you it is still in the low 70's but actually had to put a sweater on early in the morning when we do our mile walk. Today is warmer so have my shorts on at long last... Last Friday Eileen had to be at the hospital in the morning for a test, as she chose to be asleep for it , I went with her a nd drove her home after. Results show a hiatus hernia, so tha was a relief to her. Although the results from the biopsy aren't back yet. Also having a liver scan tomorrow. today she woke up with a dreadful sore throat, so its back to the Dr. this afternoon to get some antibiotics. It is 5 days since test, just long enough for the hospital germs to have hatched!!!!
We have been taking it easy for the last two weeks, in hopes Eileen will soon be over all the medical problems. We did go out to dinner last night with 28 of the neighbours . They do a monthly community birthday dinner . If your birthday is that month, you get to pick out the reataurant , but you also have to bring your own birthday cake... a young couple came with the newest addition to the crowd. One month old baby girl. Cute as a button and a full head of dark hair. Her parents were the only couple under the age of 65. Swinging group, eh.
We are off to the library this morning. A couple of days ago we did a drive around the area. Cattle ranching and citrus farming everywhere. We stopped at an old cemetary, cause I was surprised to see all the caskets above the ground. I guess if they dig down it is swampy. A large turtle was lumbering along between the graves heading for the orange grove. Of course I didn't have the camera with me.
Guess I am doing what Floridians do down here. spend my time eating out,with discount coupons, going to the library, waiting in Dr.s waiting room's, and waiting in hospital waiting rooms. and going to cemetary's. If this is retirement , I don't think too much of it.
I'm still thinking about a laptop but haven't got it yet. Really haven't had time to go and do some looking. Maybe next month when I am camping by myself.
I will have to go out and chase the cats away from the van before I start it up. Eileen feeds the wild cats, and they seem to be multiplying. She says I will have to open the hood, hit the sides of the van and when I start it , have to do what is known in the area as the "kitty jerk" reverse and stop fast so the little kittens fall out of where ever they have been sitting and then I can drive off. At least they are keeping the creepy crawlys out of the van. I keep looking for the alligators in the lake as we walk past every day but so far, haven't spotted them.
