Speeding through February....

This winter seems to be passing faster than any other. The days are filled for each of us and every night I fall asleep before my head hits the pillow. I used to like to read before bed but now I don’t even get the book open. 

This past week was a particularly busy one starting with Super bowl last Sunday. It was an exciting game even though I am not a football fan. I love lady GaGA so I enjoyed the halftime show.  Roger has been golfing and also out to the golfing range, out shopping with the guys looking at whatever guys look at, painting with the plein- air painters and playing bocce with the crew. I had book club, beading, we went to a dinner party(with Roger),  bowled as a sub for a team called the ball busters,  swam laps every day, went to aquasizes every morning, and  sunned by the pool in the afternoons. Saturday was Trivia Night at the club house. Three of us women were in charge of the event so that has kept me occupied as well. It was a fantastic time with much laughter and hooting throughout the evening. March will see another Trivia night that I am sure will also bring in another large crowd.

I must get to grocery shopping sometime today. I was going to go yesterday after the pool but friends invited us to go with them to Harbor Cove for supper. I can’t refuse a good fish supper.   Roger had a large plate of mussels and pasta, I had the catch of the day, which was delicious although I can’t remember what kind of fish. It was mild and very much like flounder but larger flakes.  I love the location of this restaurant down at Taylor creek Harbour.  It’s located right on a marina and sports outside eating and live music. The fish and seafood are always fresh and delicious.

I would like to say we are slowing down this week, but that would be an untruth.   Valentine’s Day will be celebrated with a martini tasting and dinner with friends. Wednesday is Y-Not -Wednesday potluck at the clubhouse and Roger also has a watercolor painting workshop that afternoon. Thursday is paint out for Roger, then  Friday night is a grill out with friends and Saturday is a picnic with the bowling crew.  Somewhere in there I need to finish my book for Bookclub.

I am feeling a bit weary this morning after a long day yesterday, but this sun and pool will revive me I am sure.  The high today is supposed to be 26 C. .Another hot one in the sun ,so I will be looking for some shade later. 

Superbowl surprises!

Somewhere along the line I missed telling you about the murder mystery dinner theater that Roger was a cast member in. It was very funny and he was called Ralph Rottengrape.  It was very light hearted and enjoyed by all.  My sister Barb and her husband Frank were visiting so joined in with the weeks activities. The weather was cooler when they were here, but we did manage a bit of pool time.  The guys went fishing, Barb and I went shopping and we had many an evening dining then playing Mexican Train.  Mexican train is a domino game that is popular here with the games crowd. We played it, learning the rules as we went, but I have since found some new ways to play that makes the game move along very quickly and adds excitement to the game.  I have a feeling we will have fun playing it back home as well.

Hope everyone is well. Take care all!
