Friday April 2nd~

The best times are found in shared 

experiences and cherished memories...

 When we were at Matanzas the other day, as we 

were relaxing after a good meal we saw a boter having 

troubles getting his boat out.  The wind was strong 

and his helper was "useless" as both Arvid and his 

brother said.  The brothers thought it would be a good

 thing to help out.  They did.  The boat got back 

on track and everyone was happy once  again.

After doing a good deed it was time to have another toast. 

 They were already celebrating prior to this, but this was

 definitely a good reason for them to have another drink. 

 Being the designated driver I was happy with my coffee.

Spending time together creates cherished 

memories, strengthens bonds, and provides necessary 

emotional support.  Arvid and his brother definitely

 have strengthened their bond and relationship 

with each other.  It has been a very good time.

Yesterday I went to feed Legacy a bit earlier than 

5pm because it looked like the rain was going to come 

down hard and heavy.  I got there she was not there I called

 out for her and before you knew it she was there.  I was so

 happy.  Even though the rain came down she came and ate 

her foodies.  I have not seen her in the last 3 days.

To all a very good day.  Today we 

also have a busy but fun day with mom

 and dad.  We both look forward to it.  

It's the little things in life that matter most,

 and the memories they create are the best part...

Monday December 8th~

Good things may end, but

 the lessons and love never do...

 Gabsy's stay with us is coming to an end today.  

We have had a very good time together, something I don't

 see happening with just about everyone.  Gabsy is easy going, 

and with him it's stress free.  We will miss him, but 

we also enjoy our time just the three of us best.

I have had a lot of  time with Gabsy, and for

 that I am very happy.  Arvid has also made time for 

him and Gabsy to do things without me.  They have

 talked for hours without me present.  They have watched

 a few soccer games and  movies together because

 I happen to fall asleep.  TV puts me to sleep. A guy 

thing Arvid said.  I am just happy they did.

Yesterday we went downtown again.  We could

 not not take Gabsy to Ford's Garage.  It's a must

 for everyone who visits us in Fort Myers.

 Ford's Garage is a nostalgic, 1920s-inspired

 casual dining restaurant chain known for its burgers,

 craft beer, and vintage automotive theme, operating

 under license from Ford Motor Company.

Founded in 2012 in Fort Myers, Florida, near 

Henry Ford's winter home, it features decor like 

gas pumps, classic cars, and "shop cloth" napkins, 

offering comfort food and a unique, family-friendly 

experience for all ages. It's just a very cool place.

As always we had a very good time.  We were 

delighted with a few decked out trucks doing 

their thing and everyone having a great time.

Sniff has found a new sleeping spot while Gaby was here.  

For all you know he will probably continue to sleep there.

In the meantime, Arvid has taught Gabsy 

how to play Solitaire.  Arvid said that Gabs beat

 in in all the games. Not bad for a beginner.

 We spent the remaining of the evening watching 

TVand chatting. Overall it was a very good day.  We 

have enjoyed having Gabsy with us.  We still have all 

day today with him.  Will be a relaxing day and we look

 forward to it.  Seems we have been on constant move

 for the last ten days.  Nothing new here for us.

To all a very good day and a good week.

  Christmas is just around the corner.

A new day: Be open enough to see 

opportunities. Be wise enough to be grateful. 

Be courageous enough to be happy...
