Just another day in paradise...

 Marks hibiscus are incredible, plus he has about 8 different colors.

  Hmmmmmmm  didn't even get out of bed to take this picture

 Love this climbing vine with the pink flowers. Cant remember what it was called but  it was climbing over the kitchen wall too and just made me happy every day to see these pink flowers creeping over the wall into the sink.  Seriously like a magical fairy land there.

 Ann texts and says Kate and I are invited to a birthday lunch for one of the gals there.  It was so fun!  There was a bunch of ladies that showed up and  they were all so welcoming and friendly to me.  Kate was friends with most of them already. I got a whole different idea about what life would be like to live there just from talking to these cute ladies.  Mark has lots of friends down there, but doesn't really get involved in a lot of the community goings on.   These ladies have a network of friendship where they are always looking out for and helping and supporting each other and and doing fun things together!

Chris and Maggie got there Wednesday afternoon  The bad dad puns and jokes were bad with just Kelley and Mark, but when Chris joined in, it was non-stop. These three together are (to quote Mark) goofier than 6 mad rats.
