It’s nice area and far enough away from the rat race but close enough to get to it when the will arises. Not to mention close to the ocean and to the port. I’m sure you will meet people in a short order and perhaps you can join a club for a hobby or take up something new where you meet other like minded folks. On to the next journey in life and a great one to boot! 1 hour ago, mets07 said: @firefly333 It looks wonderful!! I think you will love it. Sometimes I wish I bought my dad's condo in Pompano Beach FL when he died. I am one of six children. We sold it. It was on the intracoastal, but his specific condo faced the ocean from a couple blocks away ... ocean visible and picturesque. But now we have grandchildren and it is hard to consider being that far away. Like you, we would seriously consider a condo (vs. another house). Wishing you much happiness in your new place! It will be the first time I'm doing this for myself, not for someone else in a long time. I used to live in boca Raton florida on the beach, but prices are so high now and the area so busy, I wanted a quieter place to live. I'm hoping for a farmers market like we had in s. Florida. Nothing close to me here in dallas. I do hope getting out and walking and being out and about I'll meet others. It just no longer makes sense to live here where I am now. I liked pompano fl. I know it well from when I lived in boca I used to drive down A1A thru there and think that would be a fun lifestyle too. Hard to just pick one place to live! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted March 29 #118107 Share Posted March 29 Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. We have had lovely weather for Good Friday in Sydney - a very pleasant 26C. This morning, I did an 8km undulating urban walk and was delighted to find towards the end that this cafe was open serving all day breakfast. Afternoon and evening we spent at the beach first relaxing on the sand then later enjoying take away fish & chips for tea in the adjacent park with many others enjoying their family picnics on this lovely evening. A young group near us had a guitar and were singing Sweet Caroline and other songs. Meanwhile, DD sent me this photo taken on their drive to Calgary. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a cousin in Vienna fl but there isnt a port close enough. Lots of golfers move there. So 4 or 5 hours apart. And a few other friends in florida. Just no where I wanted to move. It's a huge step for me. How is your eye Jane? Is it adjusting well to both far and to near vision/reading? Edited March 29 by Arzeena 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted March 29 #118112 Share Posted March 29 @LuckynanaCharlie is doing much better. Walking with the cane mostly. Ortho appointment next week for MRI results. The first two weeks were tough. He had to sleep downstairs and I had to wheel him around in the wheelchair. Slowly he was able to do more.

Thanks for asking❤️ Give him my regards for continued progress. I can relate. Time is a good thing. I'm 4 months out from knee replacement. I am better now than I was last month and I'm sure I will be better next month. It does take time. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says it's perfect.i said I see a bit double close up. He says that's because the eyes dont match. I'm hoping it goes away. It's not bad, and he proved to me I'm seeing better on the eye chart. I think my near vision probably was pretty good to start with, it was my far vision. Especially night driving and reading street signs. Reading I really dont notice much difference. Today im starting the pre surgery drops on the other eye. I'll have over 2 weeks overlap with both eyes on different drop patterns. 3 days pre op and then 4 weeks post op directions. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted March 29 #118115 Share Posted March 29 For the foodies, we went back to the Culinary Institute for dinner this week. Have done lunch before but first time for dinner. Seven courses for $45 pp, we left stuffed, all wonderful food, lots of great chefs coming up the ranks. Missed pictures of a few courses, too interested in eating, by the time I remembered it wasn't photo worthy. The menu, also included was a lobster soup to start. The only item you needed to pick was dessert, of course we got 1 of each. Lobster soup, went to take a bite before remembering picture, happened more than once Chevre Carrots Surf & Turf Mousse Tart Dining room, we like to sit at the counter and watch the cooks. Great night, looking forward to the next one. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb, the 1st 4 days were super painful but luckily that's in the past. I feel so much better, Doc advised to take it easy for at least another 2 weeks to allow everything to heal internally.

I hope everyone is doing good and everything is progressing nicely with your home renovations from the fire. Thank you for thinking of me! I haven't been here around much, work is busy and my wife got a new job with hours a bit later each evening so I've been playing more house husband as well 😊 House is coming along! They are finishing up with insulation this week. Then (yet another!!) inspection for that, then they'll start putting up drywall. That should take a few days then the real work begins...taping and mudding the drywall will take a week plus. From there the end is near with the finish work...paint, carpet, floors, trim, etc. We'll be picking out cabinets soon. Target date for move-in is mid-May, but not holding my breath. Could go later with delays, or could even be a bit sooner if everything goes perfectly. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple courses with a little time and a little wine between courses means I'd be full. Besides, I don't have the self-control to NOT overeat when they put huge portions in front of me. Huge portion sizes are a part of the reason that we've got such an obesity problem in the US, and all of the other medical issues that go with that. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave DH parts of a few courses, had to save room for dessert which i also couldnt finish. He said he would have been fine without what I gave him but did eat it. More than enough food for most people. Teo courses were missing pictures. 32 minutes ago, bobmacliberty said: Looks about right to me.

The only downside to the dinner there is no alcoholic drinks, only water and iced tea served with your meal. We did stop for a drink before going as we knew and don't get down that way often so wanted to go to a spot we hadn't been to lately.
