We bought our flat "on paper" and had to wait a year for the building permit. 1st time for us "fashioning" our own. I dreamed about a natural "nude" marble floor, but it was very expensive. Then, one day, looking for bathrooms tiles, someone mentioned that they have an old stock of Italian marble on an "out of fashion" size (15.75 inches X 15.75 inches) for an affordable price, and I jumped on it, and never looked back. The marble is very agreeable cold during the summer, walking barefoot, and in the winter (which is not long and cold here) -- mild. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards we got coffee's and fish o filets from McDonald's and took them to our usual beach viewing spot. We then called at a local outlet mall then came home and washed the car. It is currently 70°F and 16.18pm and we are sitting in the garden. Hope everyone is having a great day. What an amazing day to be outside in your yard. It’s sunny here but feels like 97F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a ton of rain recently and humidity inside was 70 percent before we turned on our dehumidifier, agree 50 percent is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had any rain to amount to anything so far this year. But we are just a big swamp that somebody drained enough to build houses on.

grapau27 Posted June 6, 2021 #18586 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) My late mam and dad bought a new build in 1970 and went over regularly to watch it's construction. Mam died at home in November 2011 and dad died March 2012 and they lived at that home until they died. Edited June 6, 2021 by grapau27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point there!!!! And "they" (whomever "they" are) are always right. I am finding that the "golden years" are in fact the "rust years" and everything is going out of warranty..........including my car (which I am reminded daily with callers selling extended warranties). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year you'll celebrate on a cruise! 😁 Thanks! 🙂 And oh gosh yes...I sure hope so. Did the L&S from the cruise we would have just finished on Allure to same time, same place, on Harmony next year. L&S the OS I was going to surprise Bucky with for our combo anniversary/birthday celebration. (We usually do GS...this will be a nice change!. 😉 ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted June 6, 2021 #18599 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) The big botanical gardens were not open (not until June 23rd 😞 )...but we found the Azalea garden walk, which was pretty as well.
