TERRY
As I sit down to write it is almost 9:30 and Terry is still quiet in the bedroom. She must need the sleep as that is past her usual wake up time. I would say she is about the same so no news. She really should have gone in to get some test done yesterday but she said she wanted to wait until Monday so I think I had better insist come Monday that we get it done. She continues to not be very hungry. I made a meat loaf yesterday that I would not give a 5 star rating to BUT I felt it was good. She did not like the glaze on top to now I have two pounds of meat loaf in the fridge and really I need not eat all of it so???
I fixed a bagel with ham, egg and cheese this morning for breakfast. As I enjoyed my FP and bagel I read the Naples paper and the WSJ at the kitchen table. As I got up I looked at the kitchen, threw up my hands and headed to the den to write and to avoid the kitchen! How one person can in so little time make such a big mess is way way beyond me so I give up. I may HAVE to venture back into the kitchen later to clean up but for the time being I am going to write and avoid the mess. Really, what is a guy to do???
It is a big day in more ways than one today. My oldest grandchild is 18 and I say "big" in the sense that his 6' 4" frame makes grandpa look small. I do have one thing over him, I have a bigger waist! BUT I am working on that. Anyway it just does not seem like he should be 18 as I remember and it seems a short time ago that Gail and I walked down to Mary/John's house and took Henry out for a stroll. Well as we all know time flies when you are having fun so to speak.
Here is a map of our place with it circled in black. I post it because in peak season which is October-April pretty much all of the units in the circle are full most of the time. NOW, in the middle of summer I am aware of SIX that are being used. Now a few, maybe 3 or 4 are year round rental but must are used by the owners. AND as you see a unit what looks like one is two. Each unit has three bedroom with one, most of the units, being used as a den. Terry's unit is 1600 sq feet with a pool. I would say 46 units maybe six or so have pools. There is a common pool that everyone can use. You can also see the six tennis courts, a club house, a restaurant and an exercise room. On the property there are 6 different housing complex. They range form two bedroom small units that perhaps are valued at $250,000 to the towers with each having two penthouse units and they are valued at maybe $900,000 + or -. BUT now in the summer things areVERY quiet but something tells me people may be coming down early this year but then who knows. We are about 12 miles from downtown Naples and about 2 miles south of Bonita Beach and about 4 miles from the gulf coast. Enough
Here it is past 10 AM and I hear nothing from Terry. I think I had better take a sip of FP, sign off and just peek in on her.
