Blog Stuff

I spent yesterday afternoon outside in the shade under our awning, sipping on a beer and categorizing all our blog posts. It took some time but you will now see a list of categories in the right margin. Each entry is categorized accordingly based on the subject of the entry. This way anyone looking for a specific topic can click on that particular category and all related entries will be displayed. Makes it a little easier than having to scroll through all the entries looking for a specific entry.

I have also added an RSS feed button and email suscription button. Those of you with a Reader can simply subcribe to my blog feed by clicking the button and you will receive any new blog entries in your Reader automatically. Likewise, for those with no Reader or those who prefer to subscribe via email. Simply add your email address and you will receive an email whenever the blog is updated. Hopefully, it will save regular readers a little time.

We took a little trip into Wauchula to the Walmart and also ACE Hardware. We picked up some groceries as well as a few bits for our new sunshade. We needed bungy cords and some tie down stakes as well before we could put up the sunshade. The sunshade is in two pieces. The first piece is two feet wide and feeds into the length of our awning roller. The second piece is seven feet wide and attaches to the first piece with S-hooks. The bottom is then staked to the ground with bungy cords. The awning roller is also staked to the ground with a rope, so that it will not move up and down in the wind. I sat out under it all yesterday afternoon. It was bright sunshine and 84F outside but shady and much cooler under the sunshade. All seem to be working well.

While I was under the sunshade, Chris went to her pine needle weaving class in the club house. She has been working on a basket and wanted to check with the instructor on how to move from the bottom part to the side wall of the basket. She spent a couple of hours in class and her basket is coming on nicely.

Chris played pickleball yesterday afternoon but I took the day off. Playing twice the day before in very hot sunshine was a little much. Hard to drink enough water here sometimes.

There were some tornados that went through parts of Arkansas and Tennessee last night causing significant damage but there was nothing her in Florida at all. Another hot, sunny day today with a nice breeze blowing. Think I will sit outside and start my new Jeffrey Archer paperback.
