The Central Bank employees are on strike and it is creating tenseness and my husband worries about the situation and whether or not it is safe for us to go to Byblos tomorrow - the Wednesday ladies. The ladies are not worried so it will be interesting to see what happens today. Will the strike end, will hubby say it is unsafe, will we go on Wednesday... 
I have a LOT of reviews to write but need to read one more book and scan a couple others first. It will be a busy day.
BEVERLY: Sorry the weather was dark and threatening and required staying inside. How upsetting for the first place Derby winner to be disqualified but how wonderful for the new winner!
CHERRY: I envy you having your son so near and able to visit so often! I am sure you are getting plenty of protein! Are you still having dairy and eggs?
PAM: Hooray for a happy anniversary celebration. Hubby and I usually go for pizza or to Byblos but many years we haven't even been in the same town/country!
LYNN: Hope you are having fun!

Good morning. I will probably have a little dairy - yogurt and cheese sometimes. Probably not eggs very often as I've never eaten a whole lot of eggs. So far it seems to be going well and I haven't felt hungry or deprived.
My son just left this morning. He plans to be coming back next weekend. He stirred up my compost this weekend and put salt in my water softener. We didn't look at putting together those raised beds, we figured we'd do that next weekend. I hope it will be nice weather.
This morning it was cloudy, but now there is some blue in the southwest. It's supposed to be partly sunny today with the high of about 53. I wish it would start getting warmer, but it doesn't look like it will this week.
Have a nice day, beaches.

Good morning friends.
Still hot here in central FL. No surprise there. LOL
I am home sick & ready to go home, I want to see my flowers while they are still in bloom, the iris were blooming when I left, sure they are over by now. DS sent a pic yesterday of a squash plant in our garden, it has baby squash on it!! They should be ready by the weekend. I can't wait!! Hope the guy has the new AC unit in. I think the temps are still low there, but I want to be ready for the hot weather ahead.
Yesterday, we drove down to the everglades. It is really an impoverished area. We toured a few orange groves, saw the Florida Natural orange juice factory. We also saw fields of large watermelons being harvested. Doesn't seem like the migrant workers are being treated very well. They are being transported in old school buses. Some of the housing is also old buses turned into living quarters with no electricity or running water. I hope they are at least paying them a living wage, but I doubt it. Picking big watermelons in the hot FL sun must be very hard work. Of course, we are enjoying the watermelon that we bought. Also have bought oranges, lemons & fresh eggs. We were hoping to find fresh corn, but didn't see any.
Today we are just hanging around the complex & the pool. They have bingo every afternoon by the pool, I enjoy that.
Hope everyone is well & having a great week.

Hello...I read Cathy's post yesterday morning and the got distracted by something...Oh yes, I had to leave and pick up the foreign currency I ordered, then a pedicure, bank and drugstore. Then I had to call my credit cards to tell them we were traveling and pay all my bills....that's why I became distracted!!
Cathy, I hope that the strike is over quickly!
Bev, good luck at Bingo!
Cherry, I hope you can get your gardens together soon. I planted impatiens in my window boxes and the squirrels ate every single one....not worrying about it until I come home.
Pam, so glad you had a lovely anniversary!
I have to get on more laundry today. and go over my list of things to do.
Have a great day!
