Tiling the Front and the Sky Cactus

Things have been pretty quiet here in the month of July.  We have had a lot of rain this month, so much that we started wearing life jackets to bed.  Last week was better, the cushions in the back actually were dry one day and we were able to sit in the pool two afternoons in a row. 
Front entry first day of home ownership.

Gary has been a busy bee at the other house, he worked on tiling the front entry and it looks so much better, the sidewalk on the side is now done and painted and he has moved to the back of the house working on the ceiling in the lanai. 
Front entry done, tiling completed this week.


Right side of house on first day.


Right side done this week.  Sidewalk painted too.

I actually was supposed to help him with spraying the ceiling this morning but after we both were full of the gug he was spraying and he wasn't even halfway thru, he let me go home since our system was not working.  The gug ended up all over the walls which was what I was supposed to prevent.  I wasn't meant for that type of work apparently.  I just take the pictures for the blog.  I tried to explain that to Gary as I ran for my car.

Cactus to the sky!

I had to add the picture of the cactus I saw at the end of our street.  The cactus bush is normally about 4-5 feet high.  One day this thing just appeared reaching to the sky.  Look at it next to the stop sign.  Pretty weird.  I'm waiting for Jack to climb up the damn thing.  Or for it to fall over. 

The days are hot and lazy in Florida in the summer.  I keep thinking about the blog and then I take a nap or go in the pool and the computer just doesn't work that great when its wet.  But at least I'm thinking about it as I float around.  Come on now.  Margaret
