Default Anyone else do anything exciting during their "Vacation"?

I bought a newer (QuieTech) golf cart and sold the older carbureted one. The new one has MUCH more comfortable seats and a nicer ride. We got rid of an old futon and replaced it with one of the "Murphy Chests" they were selling at the Market Day in Brownwood 3 weeks ago...

I played a lot of golf and finally hit the pickleball courts (first time after my injury) with no untoward effects... I re-stained the front doors and garage doors of the house in MD...

I power-washed the lanai and under the eaves, getting rid of all of the dead bugs and spider webs...

I helped my wife re-arrange the furniture 3 times... It's really getting a bit ridiculous... There are only so many ways a sofa, recliner, sofa table and big screen TV will fit in the living area...

We had friends visit for a few days from Palm Beach Gardens. They're still amazed at the size and scope of TV...

Oh, and we also celebrated our 41st Wedding Anniversary!

Anyone else have some "time off"?

First trip to Europe (2 cruises and a week on land) to celebrate our 10th anniversary. 40th is a long way off. I would be 101…
