Facebook is down today - which is fine 'cuz I'm piddling around the house keeping busy with tidying the kitchen, binge watching "Maid" on Netflix and watching the fleet of concrete trucks pour the foundation for our new neighbor's house! Noisy work and felt a little nervous when the huge 'crane-like' truck put down it's stabilizing legs very near our yard. All is good. Trucks are gone and our neighbors are a smidge closer to their house!
J. is playing in the Atlantis 2021 Tournament semi-finals today - guaranteed a prize of some sort. Probably another shirt? If he places in the top 15 he'll play a week from today in the finals and be guaranteed his share of $50,000 in prizes! Woot woot. Fingers crossed. I am glad he's enjoying playing and that's what's most important - him having fun. But...I'm a sucker for free play so if he places that would be wonderful!
UPDATE: J. missed the finals by one stroke. Drat! BUT he did get a cool new shirt, $200 cash and $500 free play so all is not lost!! Woot woot! We will head to Reno Thursday for our weekly free play and add some extra play to it thanks to golf!
The Saturday night Dinner in Tuscany was wonderful - and I had decent luck on the slots which was also wonderful. Our table wasn't as lively on the conversation front as the previous dinner last week - but it was buffet service so people tended to get their food, find a table and eat then head back to wherever. Food was delicious and we had a nice time.
We're enjoying making the effort to participate in the many events hosted by Atlantis and it is nice to get out of the house.
B. came 'out of the box' yesterday - he's still in Louisiana but they are back from three weeks 'in the field' so he has access to his phone. He called and talked to us yesterday and it was so good to hear his voice. Sadly for him, he waited in line for a snow cone and was within 10 people of being served when the truck ran out of ice. DANG IT! The truck picked the perfect time to show up - a ton of people who'd been sleeping outside in horrible weather were looking to treat themselves and return to something 'normal'. I hope the truck comes back.
We hosted our new neighbors briefly last Wednesday - spent a couple hours with them touring them around our house and yard and talking about the build process. They are living in Minnesota currently and we found out it's because a family member is ill and they are spending as much time as they can there. They owned a home in California and sold it - they can also stay with their daughter who lives in Folsom. Super nice people and we're so doubly blessed to have wonderful neighbors on both sides of us. Truly - great people, great neighborhood. We lucked out big time.
I ran the heatilator a bit to take the chill off the great room - mostly for the cats who have a bad case of 'it's getting cold in here' grumpy faces. Poor babies. It felt like there wasn't any 'in between' - it was hot one minute and cold the next.
