2/24/07 Puzzle Room and Tackle Box Cleaning

The biggest thing on my agenda today was the cleaning of the library/puzzle room here in the park. The biggest thing on Bob's was cleaning out his tackle boxes.

Bob got an early start on his task and sat at the picnic table outside and completely emptied both of his tackle box. Discarding things he doesn't need anymore, finding things he had forgotten he had and wondering why he held on to some of the things in there for so long. It wasn't long before he was joined by Dave, Karl and Marv. More fish stories were swapped and before the tackle box cleaning was finished I think they solved all the world's problems.

My puzzle pal, Nancy and I cleaned out the library and puzzle room. We seem to spend enough time in there that we thought it only right to get rid of the some of the junk that has accumulated. We got rid of books that were in bad shape, magazines that were months old or that there were multiple copies of and any other stuff that just didn't belong there. We loaded all the books back onto into the shelves in alphabetical order by author and put the puzzles back according to how many pieces they had. Games were all gathered and shelved together and magazines were grouped by type.

We received lots of compliments on how nice it all turned out.

We went out for dinner at the Red Lobster Restaurant down the street. We had never been to one before and we noticed there was always a waiting line so figured it had to be good. Bob was in the mood for lobster so it wasn't hard to pick a place to go. We had a 20 minute wait for our table so we made our way to the bar with the black plastic thing-y that will light up and vibrate when our table is ready.

Settled in our booth, drinks ordered, we sat back to decide what exactly we'll order for dinner. Bob's choice was easily made as he's been thinking about a lobster dinner for the last week or so. I ordered the combo special they have going on right now, lobster tail, garlic shrimp scampi and skewered garlic shrimp. While it was good, it was too much garlic at one sitting for me taking into consideration that they served garlic rolls too. Our young waiter gave us excellent service and Bob thoroughly enjoyed his lobster dinner.

Our friend Dale is still in the hospital and on a strict liquid diet. He is not a happy camper,,,,but a starving camper!

All in all it was a good day in Florida.
