A Job Well Done

 


\





The Paint Job Boys did a great job in repainting my "lanai" this morning -  the first repainting in at least twenty three years.


Well, it's not really a lanai.  Its a screened in porch, an add on to the original Villa.

As such it does not have footings or walls.  

The windows are made with Mylar, or with Perspex;  (which we put in after Hurricane Ian wrought his wrath).  Some have mosquito screens.  I don't need them since I never open the windows.


I suppose that it would be great to have "real" windows.   It might be great but it would be costly.

New footings, new low walls, new windows and door, new a/c ; new everything.  Indeed a  construction of a 29' x 11.5' room, with external walls stuccoed and painted to match the exterior of my unit.

$50,000 anyone?  NOT IN MY LIFE TIME!

I am content with what I have.  The new paint job spiffs it up.  And for now I never use the porch.   It's too darn hot without a/c!

By 12:30 the Vet phoned me with this shocking and unexpected news.  (see below)   How odd that a scan for a lesser issue should reveal the bad news.   I think that the scan was providential. I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
