Tell Us About Your Day

Ive been for my dental checkup and everything was good.
Walked the dogs twice, hoovered, cleaned out the downstairs toilet, cooked lunch and dinner.plus I visited my old people and picked up their shopping lists ready for tomorrow. I'm also taking my friend to the dentist tomorrow she has toothache...

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

eek, and owwwwwwwwww

Annie, I noticed that when I first moved here. So much more friendly than back up in New England.

That must of been so nerve racking waiting to find out.  I'm glad that everything is okay.

It's just not one or two incidents, everytime, everyday we run into people who are so incredibly hospitable. For example, my husband stopped a car in front of the restaurant, I got out and closed the car door, then walked away without realizing that I did not close the door properly, a person who was standing nearby just approached the car and closed the door for us. 

We were at the beach today, I told my husband to go find out if there was a shower outdoor. Not only that this couple told my husband where it was, they even walked him to the location  and then walked back to their car about 50ft away.

These are just two of a few other occasions, My husband and I are totally impressed of how pleasant people here are.

Getting some of the school paperwork done over the phone is probably more efficient in some ways, but so much talk interrupts my other plans. Oh well, now I don't have to wonder what it all means, fill it out as best I can, and send it back after arguing with my scanner. LOL

I know that there are a lot of reports of "bad" people in Florida but as you have seen, there are a lot of wonderful people here that go out of their wy to help others. 

I think it really depends on the location.... lol I did not grow up in a friendly part of Florida.

I had a real laugh with my dad over a programme called "Money For Nothing". My dad had me in stitches! It was hilarious.

Anyhow, I've done some admin and am listening to the Sade album "Diamond Life" on CD.

We are leaving for California tomorrow.

There was an odd moment today. During dinner, my MIL asked me how she can locate a good estate planning attorney in Florida to update their will. So I show her the way I know how, get on Yelp, find someone with great reviews from a lot of people. When we get together for dessert in front of the TV, my IL told us : you will be the only heirs if something happens to us.

My husband has a younger brother and a younger sister. My BIL committed suicide in 2019, he had schizophrenia. My SIL married to a black professor at SUNY, she got married without telling anyone, we found out from her pictures on FB. They spent their honeymoon at my IL's vacation home in Cape Cod, frequently spent weekends at my IL's place in NY then one day, about 10 months ago, she decided to stop talking to her parents. When we found out my FIL was very sick, my husband called her asking her to talk to the parents and she refused, she told my husband their parents were racist, did not care about her ( well, parents bought her the house in Binghamton where she is living at right now with husband, she called on Daddy for every single thing), she said my IL choose to live in the kind of town that her husband would be shot walking down the street. After three trials, my husband gave up but we never told the parents what this woman said. It's just terrible. I told her I did not get along with my parents but the minute they were sick, I was there. She told me it was because I was Asian !!!

I know my husband will not leave her out in the cold when the day comes but such she is so ungrateful, I know how my MIL really treasured the relationship with her only daughter.

As I left the house this afternoon two older ladies approached me quite tentatively and asked if I would mind taking photos of them outside the house opposite. I must have looked a bit doubtful and then the older lady showed me a photograph of herself outside the same house, it was taking 60 something years ago when she lived there and her daughter was born there.

They are just here for a visit and wanted to see how much of the area was still recognisable.

I don't even know where North, West, East or South is in this state.   Isn't Jacksonville in the south part? it looks decent to me.
