Sunsets and powerwashing the lanai

We have really enjoyed some beautiful sunsets on the lanai.. probably because of the rain in the air lately... some nights the sky is blue and pink....and some nights the sky is orange and yellow !!!! It is awesome what GOD has created !!!!

Tim and grandson Nick power washed the lanai... looks so good.. it was quite a job !!!! Still enjoying the pool EVERY day... so refreshing...... No BIG plans for the future but we keep busy...

Trees !!!

Before we went to Mich. this summer, we both commented on how green and alive our huge palm tree was... when we returned , it was dead !!! We are pretty sure that it was hit by lightning !!!! We hired Acorn Tree Company and they sent 4 guys out today to cut it down for $ 300. That is a decent price !! Those guys worked very HARD and never took a break for over an hour..... They did a great job so Tim gave their boss some extra money to take the guys out to lunch.. They appreciated that...
They brought lots of equipment.... Tim and I watched it all.....Glad it didn't fall on the roof or our neighbor's roof...

At the end, they ended up grinding the stump down.... and cleaned everything up..... Now we plan to plant a mango tree...


Nick and Jessie enjoyed the Hot Tub.. Why would anyone want the water to be 103* in this weather????



Nick and Tim split 6 stumps for the trash.....It was Hot and so they only did 1or 2 a week.... Now our yard looks real nice...

Sure enjoyed a 3 week visit with our grand daughter Jessica ( 15 years old ) from Michigan. We put her on the plane early Thursday morning and she arrived safely 4 hours later !! And it takes us almost 3 days of driving the same distance.... We swam EVERY day and did a lot of sight seeing. Nick ( her brother also came down but he is thinking of living here in Florida with us for a while... not sure yet his complete plans...) We took them to the beach 2 times, Sun Splash water park,church, flea market, garage saleing, lots of restaurants, nature walk, o.j. factory, and then we drove up to Orlando and Tampa and took in Sea World and Busch Gardens.. They LOVED it all !!! It has been HOT here ( 90's ) but have heard that it is hotter in Tn. where our daughter lives...We sure enjoy the pool every day !!!
