It's February!

Early this week, AA was invited to join the OPE Math Club. Very proud she was selected from all 5th grade students, the top 12 participate with only six in the final team. She has extra math homework to get her prepared for the competitions.

Ford met up with Jean and Aiden at the River House to celebrate her new job. Some weeks, we go to the RH once a week, and others, it seems like we are there daily! With my work schedule, I usually arrive home too late!
Thursday, Ford made homemade taco cups; very good and we have plenty of leftovers. I took the day off from work to go to the dentist (excellent teeth!) and the PCP for my shoulder (ripped muscles from dog walking). I need to get an X-ray and keep ice on it for ten days. Then I will be re-evaluated. AA played golf with Ms. Penny and we went to the River House. We had several offers of neighbors back yards to exercise Ginger, now that I can't walk her for a while.
Friday, Ford took AA to her golf lesson, I arrived home later than usual. We had take-out, a V's Pizza, love that a new one opened up two weeks ago on Fleming Island.
Saturday morning I went BJ's shopping with cousin Carolyn; AA went with us too. It's good to stock up on essentials that are bulky and can be stored ahead. AA selected her case of vitamin water and Gatorade.
Then we took her to Eagle Harbor Golf for her group practice at noon. I went home and worked on cleaning up a small section of the garage, did laundry and warmed up leftovers for dinner. AA and I went for an evening shopping trip, she has out grown just about all her clothes! We bought two tops, a new bra and a pair of shorts. Will need to go to other stores to find some spring/summer clothes soon! She can wear the Juniors XS size now. Say goodbye to Girls sizes!
Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday, we began our day with breakfast by Chef Daddy/Ford, then bath for AA (her hair is very greasy and dry flakes too! - need to get her to a dermatologist!). I made a batch of mango black bean salsa - AA's favorite. So yummy! We have not had the very old fashioned/comfort "french onion" dip in a long time, so planned one last run to the grocery for those two ingredients.
We visited with Leaa and our two Grands, brought lunch from Smokin D's. Always a good choice. Then we headed to the Ancient City Brewery to get Ford's growler filled, then stopped by the very new V's Pizza on Fleming Island for a few orders of chicken wings. We were ready for the Super Bowl!! The Patriots (boo!) versus the Philadelphia Eagles (boo!). Drum roll...... the Eagles won!

At Leaa's: Everyone working their Minecraft worlds. Leaa showed us their plans for a rental unit on their property, will be a "rustic/deluxe" airbnb unit with beach access. Jesse is renovating their outside shower area into a full bath for these guests. 

Next week, we are back to NFJG tournaments on Sundays.
