Catching up on our News and Fun!

I make the excuse about working full time, not keeping up the blog.... So true! We are having issues with the Pella window replacement, they are still not done! 
The WPOA homeowners had the Astor Street wall cleaned, repaired and painted:

Senator McCain died over the past weekend, so we lowered the flag at our neighborhood fountain and at the River House on Monday (Hugh took photo).

Tuesday/Wednesday: After school golfing. I can't remember what else we did!!!
Thursday: I changed my schedule so that I was off work. We had breakfast with Charlie and Donna Perry, caught up on their news and FUMCH. Afterwards, we went to the jewelry store to discuss options for my diamond ring, will go back on Saturday for final decision. AA and I went out to dinner on Thursday after her math with Mr. Story; went to V's Pizza and had wings, salad and pizza, while Ford attended a parents only OPE meeting.
Friday: We had the dead tree in our back yard cut down. After work, Ford cooked shrimp and grits (YUM!!) AA and I saw the movie Christopher Robin.

Through the upstairs window:

Done! We will put one of our manhole covers on it and use it as a plant stand and outside cocktail table!

Christopher Robin - this is a good summary of our opinion of the movie:
"Christopher Robin" is a more gentle and melancholic fable about recapturing the joys of childhood as an adult with the help of a wise and innocent bear. It's telling that in Marc Forster's comparatively somber but sweet movie, the standout of Milne's furry creatures — all of them rendered digitally as worn-out stuffed animals — is that old grump Eeyore (voiced by Brad Garrett), whose morose mutterings land nearly all the film's laughs.
We thought Eeyore was the best (ultimate "Debbie Downer"!), was in most of the scenes and added that funny edge to the movie. Sweet movie and definitely a "10" is you remember this is about Christopher as an adult.
Saturday: AA beat her Daddy at a game of BattleShip. We went back to Espling's to select what we wanted done to my diamond ring - shall I say $$$$!! We went to the RAM market, Moon River for salad and pizza lunch, then River House Happy Hour with Penny and Kathy (while Hugh and Maureen are in Ireland for their 22nd time!!).
