Another trip around the sun......

Today's ends Bob's 51st trip around the sun.  ALWAYS get the "you're so young" phrase whenever we're out amongst snow birds and full timers.  If we don't get that phrase, there's "the look" wondering "OK, how are they doing this?"  Funny.

Spent a great morning Monday meeting with the Heartland Owners Group of the Coastal Bend.  Great group of folks.  Found out two of them, Michael & Kelly Barnett will be traveling to the Sweetheart Rally in Kerrville, TX next February.  Will be nice to see familiar faces there.

We seldom eat out on our own, but this group eats out twice a week.  The Bakery Cafe was the site Monday.  Connie's biscuits and gravy were very good, Bob's ham and cheese omelet was huge.  Great brunch. 

Speaking of familiar, we're both Mac people.  Bob's had a Mac since they came out in 1983.  We finally made the decision to abandon our AppleWorks and upgrade our system to the new OSX.  We both hate, I mean HATE, software changes.  Spent the last few days migrating everything over to Microsoft Word and Excel, checking on all the software that will have to be updated to keep up with the new OSX.  <sigh>  Once we get that going, the tax season will be upon us.

While all this is going on, the business has been incredibly busy!  (Thank you!)  New Disney and cruise bookings have tested out the new Word/Excel system quite nicely (except for the time something happened and all the booking numbers got assigned to the wrong clients.)  Will be dropping the hammer today or tomorrow and downloading the new operating system. 

Sunday reminded us of one of those days we fondly remember back in Ohio.  Mid to late February and all of a sudden a mid 50's day pops out of nowhere and EVERYONE is outside washing cars, walking, etc.  After the (for here) miserable days last week, we saw more people in the park out than since we arrived.  Now, we're looking at thunderstorms for a few days, a few nice days, then back to the 50's to start our rise again.

Last night ended another College Football season.  It all goes too fast (just like Alabama's players vs. the Domers).  We'll humor ourselves with college basketball, pro golf, then the new baseball season.  But it's just a ruse because we're waiting for next August to get here.
