In yesterday’s entry, I forgot to mention the flooding. Again. We had just returned home from Starbuck’s, drove into the RV park, and found our road deep in water again. Jim carefully drove through it, we took off our socks and shoes and carefully walked to the RV. It was so deep, and once again the patio rug and trash can was floating. We scooped up the dog, walked to the Jeep and drove up to higher ground to walk the dog. Of course, as we were walking him it started raining again.
Today, we met Ann & Morgan for lunch at the Blarney Stone. They have awesome burgers and fried zucchini.
Yeah, it always seems to be about food but – later in the evening we met up with Steve & Barry for dinner. Their primary residence is in Indiana and they had just purchased the house across the street from us while we had ours up for sale! We met them at their house, where they gave us a tour of their latest decorating adventure. These guys know style! They were only here for the weekend. Their next trip will be November.

The landscaping is a little overgrown.
Above: Their house is a courtyard home. This is the cabana which is a complete guest suite. They have a kitchenette set up, a sitting area, and a full bathroom. It’s beautiful.

After the awkwardness of me running around their home and snapping photos, we went to the Elephant Bar Restaurant. It’s a chain and we’ve never been to it. Jim and I both had the Crispy Teriyaki Chicken.

Afterwards, a swim in their pool and a dip in their hot tub. It was like being at a resort. I wonder if the motorhome will fit in the driveway?
Gorgey! You guys enjoy the life of Riley for not having jobs. Ooooops... look who's talking.
ReplyDeleteYour old house is so pretty. Your next one will be even better. In Dallas perhaps? You get tons of value for the dollar there. You'll be in heaven.
I love you guys. You sure know how to have fun no matter how high the water rises!
Maybe you should come visit them up here in Indiana... and then visit me, too!! Or maybe I'll hunt down Barry and Steve and I can be their fruit fly instead of yours... or maybe...
ReplyDeleteYou get the idea. They are in Indiana (where in IN?) and so am I! Whoo hoo!
I want that house! It's just the right size for me!
ReplyDeleteLike Alix, I'll be curious to see where you land.
Liz, they're from Fort Wayne.
ReplyDeleteBarry has a great smile! My hubby's name is Barry and he seems to think that all Barrys are assholes. I think, with a smile like that, that your Barry is the exception! :)
ReplyDeleteWow - an amazing abode!
ReplyDeleteWow unbelievable!. Your old house looks great! And Barry and Steve's house is gorgeous. To be able to decorate like that...they must be gay!

I love the privacy of courtyard homes!
