IT'S MONDAY - WHAT HAPPENED TO SUNDAY

I have to finish up Saturday. We did have fun today, we left the kids at home, met Ron and Polly at the parking lot of Michalebob's Rib Shack. They don't open till 4pm and here it is noon. Oh well, we piled into Ron's Solaria, he decided to put the top down, it's been forever since I have been in a convertible.

We went downtown to Old Naples and had lunch at "The Boathouse", I had salmon and sweet potato french fries and Jim had a white fish, can't remember the name, but it had a lemon buttery sauce. I had blackened salmon. We were right on the water and Ron said at night they have lights under the water so people can see the fish up close. It was Yummy and fun.

Then we went for a tour of Old Naples and there happened to be an open house, Ron wanted to stop so we did and what fun. It was a 20 million dollar mansion. Just the kind of house I would live in if I didn't live in Remer. RIGHT! The list price was actually reduced to $19,950.000.00. A 2 story 5 bedroom 6 bath house with elevator, and guest house of course. Living area only 9,000 sq feet, total area 13,000 sq feet. Had to be seen to be believed. So much marble I thought I was at the Lincoln Memorial. Over 200 feet of gulf beachfront. It even had fresco's on the ceiling. The fountain out front was lovely. I could go on and on but you can't imagine that someone actually lives like this. It was so exquisitely beautiful. The view of the ocean rolling in and hand painted in ground over sized spa overlooking the Gulf and beach, lets just say, KILL ME NOW. 20 million. Has to be seen to be believed. The fountain's inside and outside, the railing upstairs overlooking the Gulf was handcrafted octopuses. Anyway it was fun and if I knew how to put pictures on my blog I would.

It was a day at home on Sunday, we did church, it was wonderful again, they have some very good speakers here, Jim has been so moved by the sermons. It was communion Sunday. I decided to venture out to Wal-Mart by myself. I was looking for an inexpensive lounge to lay on. I am having a hard time throwing a blanket on he grass because in my mind alligators and snakes are alive and well in Florida. Call me crazy, anyway I wanted to see if I could get there and back without getting lost, it's 5 miles away. I did fine but left my checkbook on the table so I came home with the perishables and made lunch and went back to get the rest. DUMMY. We spent the day walking around the lake and sitting outside. It's not warm enough for me but it is for Jim. Low 70ies with quite a breeze.
