Movie night and senior rates

Well, we finally got a senior's discount.
We went to the show on Monday(9th) Dec. to see "Out of the Furnace" (a good movie by the way)
We got to ask for a senior's ticket and it was only $8. Super. The theatre complex is in the Bell Tower shopping mall and houses 20 cinaplex theatres.
The theatre was well designed with seats designed so that King Kong could sit in front of you and you could still see. The sound was just perfectly regulated and the AC was very comfortable.
And then there's pop corn, coffee and pop. So much for the seniors savings.

We went to the parrot sanctuary on Sannibel Island with Bob and Janice yesterday, and it was well worth the wait. Then another super lunch at The Grill.

Spanish lessons are now over till the 14th of Jan. We have actually learned a lot in the first 16 weeks. We'll have to be diligent during the following month off. You know what they say. "Use it or lose it"
No hay problema.

Wed. there was a pool game that lasted all afternoon. At night the girls had craft night here

Thur. Aprille and Sandra attended a "dress for success" seminar( a hands on event to launch small business ventures) Aprille has sold two pieces of jewelry now and we have set up a web site for her and she now has her own business cards. So check it out at applesjewels.com.

My airport shuttle job has gone for a dump. The insurance issues are impossible to overcome.
Okay bring on another windmill.

Friday morning we went to the Fort Myers flea market. Now that's huge. You could easily spend all day browsing. We were good. We only bought two things(that we needed) Aprille found a vendor that sold bras(nice!! one's I might add.). 6 for $12. Really. And a new micro fibre mop to replace the piece of sh.....! we currently had.At 6 pm we went over to my golfing buddy, Dave, for dinner.Great job. A delicious feed of smoked salmon and spinach dip for appetizers and a huge feed of angel hair pasta with a delicious cream sauce and craw daddies. Dessert too. Tiramisu and chocolate cookies.

I now own a V300 Sonocaddie GPS. A real time GPS tool that follows you in "real time" on the golf course and feeds you all pertinent info(that should help you,theoretically, to manage the course better) I first saw the device in action last week when I golfed with Barb. She had one. It is  a must have.She bought hers on line for $60 last year. I went home and immediately went  on line. They retail for $399. No way Jose!!! There as only one used one(advertized as "in excellent condition") at all the sale sights. It was up for bidding at $70.99. There was 2 hrs left in the auction. What luck!!!I won. It arrived 4 days later and as advertized it was in excellent condition.I'm chomping at the bit to try it for real.

Sat. I met the riders(and some of their wives) of the Lost Riders motor cycle club. I met the president at spanish class and he invited me to join them for a  ride for toys. It is an annual event hosted by the L.A.M.A.
Latin American Motrcycle Assoc. to give toys to poor families in Immokalee.
A great event and a great bunch of guys and gals. There was enough toys to fill the back of the dually pick up and the U Haul trailer, plus what people brought on the back of their bikes.

Sat night we went to the dog races,also in Immokalee, and we won enough to pay for the "refreshments". don't blink. Each race  lasts around 30 seconds. A good night out. Cheap and fun and you get to wager.

Happy birthday Annette!!!!
