We have been living with rainy afternoons the past couple of weeks which means we are now in our rainy season, the patio cushions are tucked under the lanai, the plants are getting watered and we are stuck in the house more than we like. On a sunny afternoon we spend part of our time floating around the pool enjoying the weather and cooling off. Because we were both tired from the latest project at the other house, when the clouds and rain started yesterday afternoon, we decided that rather than going out to a movie we would watch one on our Apple TV.
First of all, if I have already mentioned it, the Apple TV is the bomb. For about $70 you install the device to your TV and you have access to all kinds of programming. We already had Netflix so we now can stream right into our TV and not wait for the DVDs to arrive to watch the latest programming. So after deciding to spend a lazy afternoon watching a movie, I found The Interview almost immediately and remembered that this was the controversial movie about North Korea. Why do I bring this up? Because I was pissed that I wasted a perfectly good afternoon when I could have been napping watching something so stupid. Let me just say that there is nothing funny about North Korea, it is a horrible place ruled by an egomaniacal nut who kills for fun. If you own a Bible you will be put to death and wearing jeans is against the law. WTF? This movie should have been burned and forgotten. Hollywood needs some help. I still like my Apple TV, just not all the choices.

| Paver pallets arrive from Miami May 27, 2015 |
We needed a lazy afternoon and I was happy for the rain so we could get some rest, esp. Gary. The pavers arrived at the other house on May 27th and I can safely say they are installed as of June 6th. I helped when I could but this is a very intense and heavy job so I did most of the supervising from the sidelines. We are very happy with the results so far, the pool area is starting to look like a reality but there is still lots to do.

| Back lanai June 2015 |
The news reported this week that housing in this area is supposed to go up 25 percent in the next year, another reason to have property here and that makes the work easier on us. This area of Florida is becoming very popular, the crime rate is very low, the weather is wonderful and housing is still reasonable for now. So far we are loving it, now if we could just pick out a decent movie. Margaret
