The end of another beautiful day

Here we sit in beautiful Panama City after a whirlwind day. Tom and I arose at 7AM to get ready to visit The Hombre, Tom's employer. Of course, he hasn't been there since the day he broke his hip in January. He was very excited to be going back if only for a visit. We went to the Waffle Shoppe on 23rd Street for waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. We needed all the energy possible to visit with his co-workers, who are also his social circle. It was a blast driving a real expensive golf cart all around The Hombre. The one at my old job pales in comparison. We also went into the pro shop and I found a beautiful sleeveless shirt and a pair of golf socks. However, the closest they'll come to golfing is when I walk past Tom's clubs as I go out for my daily walk!
We went to visit another friend, Joanne, who lost her husband, Charlie, to lung cancer this year. Her home is on the golf course and has a pool just off the livingroom. She has a 17 YO orange cat who looks like she put her paw in a light socket.
When we returned home, both of us began to read our books (Tom a Tom Brokaw bio and me Tom Friedman's The World is Flat) and ended up falling asleep. Getting up earlier than 9AM takes a lot out of us old farts (LOL).
Tom's CNA came for her visit and I helped her find a good biography of Bill Clinton so her son could do a school report on him. I don't think many people realize Bill was our first black president. I am fortunate to have a cheap printer attached to my laptop.
She left at 4PM just as Florida Pest Control came to respray the lawn because here in Florida, people pay to have their lawns de-weeded. In Maine, we just wait for winter and the weeds die....I miss my dog, Sophie. That is why I named this blog after her. Don't get me wrong, I also miss my husband and kids but they understand where I am. Sophie doesn't and I am afraid she'll forget me. Sophie is a beautiful Irish Water Spaniel and is a clown extraordinaire. If I can figure our how to post pics, I will put some on here.
