We gave Ken a surprise early birthday party Sat. MaryJo's birthday is the day before his, actually May 24 and May 25. Son, Jake, in pic. Had a great time and lots of food and drink. His friend from "childhood" ,Jim B came, what a surprise! He is the only one that calls him "Kenny". ALL desserts; German Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake and Key Lime Pie made from scratch by my little hands! DELICIOUS
Ken's new flipflops .

This is a visitor we had that was soooo tame, it bit my hand when I was trying to break up a hotdog !! He would have walked into the house if the door was open. This is a 1st for a stork. They look pretty grusome but if you watch them long enough, their eyes are beautiful and feathers like snow. Always a constant "drip" coming from end of bill. I got some pretty good closeups of him as you can see. He isn't too good at picking up food though.
CUTE FEET

We went to a financial seminar in St Pete last week for 3 days with Suze and Jonathan. Stayed at their home cuz it was closer to The Vinoy Renissance Hotel where the conference was held. Learned a lot, and had a great time. GREAT FOOD too!

FINALLY..........THE BATHROOM IS DONE!!! The glass was installed today! Can't use it till tomorrow night though, as it has to "set". The glass has a light blue "hue" to it, really blending in with the colors. There are two separate shower heads with two separate faucets. Could use both at a time if one wishes.

We went for a bike ride today, 140 mi. Not that much traffic. Guess many snowbirds flew back home!
FINALLY.........all but the glass around shower is DONE. It is soooo different! and light, and wonderful! Real orchids, Sarajean!! I bought 4 the other day, 2/$10. I asked the Chinese man (owns a dollar store) where he got them. Said he has a friend in Orlando that grows them. He had hundreds in the store! I wonder how long I can keep these alive! Cabinets from Linens N Things
I've had this cat for YEARS.......just painted it black! Also, stenciled 4 Chinese characters meaning: Peace, Love, Happiness, Energy in gold on cabinet doors.

This is a pizza that Red Lobster makes! It is FRESH....very thin crust, cheese, fresh chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. It is sooooo good!! We had a birthday party for my mother there Saturday. Several family members there. My mother....95 yrs. Her nickname all her life is Bunny.

The sink is in!! I love it. The shower works, but no glass sides yet! A rainshower on top, and regular nozzle out the upper side. I need to get busy and paint my mirror!! Meanwhile, Rock tore out the bedroom closet wall. What a mess we are in right now! but it will be worth it to have a BIGGER walk in closet. The best part is Rock cleans up every day after he is done! Our shower has been changed a bit also. Rock loves rainshowers.....so that is in our BR also. I've been playing with the thought of "Closets by Design"....or like that.
Our tangeloe tree bloomed for the first time yesterday. It smells so beautiful......I love orange blossom honey.....it's my favorite....light and sweet. We still have MANY ruby red grapefruit left on the tree .
