We've been really busy this last week. I'll try to catch you up.
First, and most important, Larry is doing much better. We had to put a table behind the couch but that didn't stop him from flying over the back of the couch and love seat. Now we have strange objects all around the back of both. It looks weird in the living room, but that's ok. It's only temporary until Larry's leg is totally healed.
It's been really busy in the ER. Summer's over and we're starting to get flu and respiratory stuff. It's going to get worse once the Snow Birds arrive.
We had a new kitchen ceiling unit installed on Thursday. I like it a lot except that it's VERY bright. Dave thinks we'll get use to it, so we'll see. Here's a picture:
Saturday, I completed the NRA's gun safety course. I got a certificate and a patch. The course consisted of four classes. We met from 9-12 for four Saturdays. The first three consisted of classroom and the last class was at the gun range in Flagler. It was a great class. I really learned a lot and now feel comfortable handling guns. It's nice to have guns for personal protection (I pray that I never have to use it) and it's incredibly fun and therapeutic to target shoot. The day at the range was cool. There was one instructor for every three students. My instructor, George, is 82 and sharp as a tack. One of my new friends, Debbie Stewart, was in my group and had never shot a gun before. Her first shot was a bullseye! She was awesome. She got about 10 bullseyes (I got one). Debbie, Karen Felt (next door) and I are going to start doing chick lunches
and then go to the gun range. Here are some pictures of us at the gun range:

Saturday, after gun class, Dave and I got on the motorcycle and went truck shopping. He bought a 2005 Nissan Frontier. It's a mid-size truck with an extended cab. He chose the color white, since white reflects the sun and heat. It's a pretty truck. Here's some pictures of the truck:
Then, today, we went boating with Cliff and Sandra. We rode up the Intercoastal waterway (Halifax River) to St. Augustine. It took about an hour and a half. Cliff's a good captain. He didn't get a drop of water on us and we had to go through some pretty big wakes. They have a really nice boat. We docked at the Conch House and had lunch then walked around at a festival for clam chowder. The local restaurants had booths set up and you could sample their chowder. It was packed. The boat ride was beautiful. I'm amazed at the houses that are built along the river. I feel soooo inadequate! The houses were outstanding. You have to wonder what these people do for a living. I'm sure they didn't make their money here since the wages here suck. Here are some pictures from our trip. That's Dave, ain't he handsome? That's Cliff and Sandra at the Marina.
The Conch House has an alligator pen with four baby alligators in it. I know alligators are suppose to be stupid (they have a 1 inch in diameter brain) but it made me sad to see a wild animal caged up. Here are some pictures of them:
