A lot happened in a week

new outfits for happy farm boys!!!!!

I wrote a week ago but it seems a long long time ago.  This picture is one of many that I have copied.
I flew to St. Paul on Tuesday afternoon and flew back to Naples on Wednesday morning.  I was looking for a certain picture for the cover of my book but could not find it!  So we took several others to a friend down the street who is a professional in photography.  We picked out one and he said he would be able to photoshop it so it will be very good.  So the cover is done, I think!!!
I played tennis yesterday for the first time in almost 2 weeks.  At first I thought I had shin splints in my right leg and it got to the point that I went to EC and had several tests done.  NOTHING  Yesterday Terry and I had our spring appt with a neurologist and it did not take him long to let me know that it is coming from my back.  So I will try some meds and have to exercise to see if that fixes it.  I am tired of these little aches and pains as at my age I am thinking I should be in perfect health!  Anyway I need to get serious about doing the things required of someone who is 68 and knows that he has a lot of activity left in his body.
Wednesday evening Terry and I organized the last of our monthly parties here. We live in a large circle where there are about 46 units, many of which are now mourning for their owners who have left for cooler climates for the summer.  Anyway, in February and March we had around 30 people show up and everyone seems to really enjoy the time.  Wednesday we were surprised as there was still over 20 who came.  It is not at our house but rather at the pool that we all share.  It is not work as all we do is put out a flyer and then make sure there are plates, cups etc. and everyone brings a dish to share.  Wednesday was our last until December.
About half of the units here are getting rid of cement driveways and walks and putting in 6X9 pavers.  Ours is supposed to happen next week.  It makes the place look nicer.  It will be nice to get it done before we head north for the summer.
Terry and I went out yesterday and made one of two purchases that we wanted to get done before we leave.  Perhaps next week we will look at a new Mac laptop.  I have been frustrated while working on my book as more often than not I see this expression, "program is not responding" and then it is tempting to respond in a negative way!  We have not wanted to do anything until I get all my book things finished and in as I would not want to delete or put in trash and then find out that I needed that but too late.  As one can tell I am NOT into computers in a big way but I usually am able to get done what I need to do. 
We have been having summer like weather here.  Our day highs have been in the upper 80's and it is not unusual to have a rain shower in the afternoon.  It is good to get tennis in by 9:00.
With writing, going and coming I did not get to Leo's birthday greeting so will do that now.  Again, we did remember to call him on tax day, April 15th.
I will have enough FP left to carry me over to Leo's birthday blog.
