In Ocala, she's a geko hunter

 

LOL...Katie used to chase the little lizards around the pool deck, bite their tail off, and race through to the cat door to "present" the bedraggled thing to Momma.  Ugh!!  🤢

Finally, our concrete pilon restauration is finished.

 

We will be good for at least 10 years.  First step of cleaning the mess...

 

 

Dani, this looks amazing.

Thought I’d share this with you. A fiend of mine posted it on Twitter today.

To all the west coast cruisers, how are you folks holding up from the wild fire?

 

The past few days whenever I look outside, there's a tinge of orange color due to the wild fire smoke. At night when I look up at the moon, it's pale orange.

 

Not as bad as last year when it was so orange outside that I thought I was transported to Mars. But my area is still technically above 100 in the www.purpleair.com scale, which isn't a great thing but better than the 300+ registered last year, which is super unhealthy.

 

Here's a news report:

Bad air quality in most of CA per this map

Dinner tonight.

Pauline put some of her pizza onto my plate.

You inspired my lunch.

Yours is way bigger, and you can barbecue. 😉

 

That's a no no here.😪

According to our HOA and management company state law says no open flames in condo complexes. 
When I sit on my lanai, sometimes I get a mouthwatering scent of steak on a grill.

Looks like a fried green tomato pizza…which I’d like to try!

Obviously, Israel has not refined the HOA process. They are so far behind.😄

In Cocoa Beach, first floor units can keep a propane grill on their patio, but have to move it 10' away to use it. Or so I understand

Not really HOA rules. Fire Code

This afternoon I’m panicked!  A few hours ago I realized that the pork shoulder roast that I want to smoke Sunday, was supposed to be thawed, injected and rubbed yesterday!  Now I’m doing a (safe) rapid thaw, and hoping missing one day won’t be too big of a deal…

Is this area for a Hot Tub!     You have such a beautiful view from your patio/deck that would be perfect for a hot tub

Congratulations Sue on your 30th Wedding Anniversary!

We happen to have the same last name, btw!😉

Congrats from me also.

@Lionesss I used to know someone with your same name. First and last. Unfortunately she has since passed, but her hubby (Mike) is Mike’s godfather.

One daughter home school’s her children.  They started a couple months ago so if they want or need to take time off they do not fall behind. 
 

Another daughter has two that started this week.

Beautiful grandchildren.   Love their little school uniforms too!    

Are they allowed to wear the fancy decorated sneakers to school or I guess not with the uniforms?

We're not allowed at our condo either, but our building is next to the pool and clubhouse, where we have 3 grills by the pool.  We're fortunate to just walk down one flight of stairs and go through the gate to barbeque.  Most of the people wanting to grill have to drive from their building to do so.

The black dog doesn't seem to mind.

That's nice you only one flight of stairs to get to BBQ.   IF I had to load everything into my car to get there I don't think I will grill as much as I do during the summer months.
