Our neighbour needs to go loonie!

Our next door neighbour offered us the 'left over' money from her last trip to Canada.

Guess it's been a while eh Erin!

P.S. Yeah, I won again at BINGO this week! At least they pay out in U.S. greenbacks.

The Life of Pie!

A little known fact in Canada ( maybe even here in the U.S. )- today was National Pie Day ( honestly, google it if you don't believe me).

So naturally the Wednesday lunch gang went to the Village Inn home of the world's greatest pies.

Every Wednesday is free pie day ( check out the link) and they were fantastic.  

P.S. FYI Sylvain - I won at BINGO again!

and the gifts keep coming

Quite a good week for us. On Sunday Carol came by to share the basket of chocolates she won at the flea market.

 Then  Steve brought us this huge bottle of wine to thank us for feeding him after Sylvie and Nikko went home.

And then Olivier was treated to his favorite pie ( coconut cream) from the Village Inn when Kathy and Carol came for a spaghetti supper on Wednesday.

And I won at BINGO again!!!!

One happy gator

Gator don't have many friends down here so this one seemed thrilled to have the attention of so many turtles.

Then further down the road we found this little guy trying to join the others - he should get there by Valentines Day!

Back in full swing

So now that January is upon us and more and more people are travelling down here 2 of my favorite weekly activities have re-started.

Sharon welcomed the 16 women who get together on Tuesday's to play Bunco in her usual artistic and creative way.

And our Wednesday 'Let's do lunch' gang is almost all here but we decided to go out this past Wednesday anyway (there will be more of us next Wednesday).

Fore!

Either this gator is playing golf with his tail or somebody around here has a really bad slice or hook!

What's worse than shovelling snow?

I know a lot of people back home think we are lucky not to have to shovel snow (and they're right!) but Olivier might argue that cleaning up dead palm trees can be just as challenging.

It may be colder to shovel snow but then again you don't have to look out for snakes while you're doing it!

Happy New Year

I hope everybody's New Year is starting off as well as mine. I won $250  at BINGO last night.
And since the US dollar is not worth as much as Canadian these days I think I'll spend it here!
