It's a Hard Life Living in Fort Lauderdale

   

WOW! Even got Allen to smile in a picture!

***************************************************

It only reached 88 degrees today but it was sunny, clear and there was a nice breeze so what do a couple of old retired men in Fort Lauderdale (shhhh--don't tell Allen I called him old--but then if you saw his video you know he isn't! LOL)
do? They go out for lunch, take a drive along the ocean, go to a 'make
your own sundae' place, read T-shirts and buy winning lotto tickets.

***************************************************



I
had a restaurant.com coupon for the Ocean Grille, which by the way is
not near the ocean, well at least you can't see it from A1A. It was a
new place for us and I'll write the review Saturday. We went out the
back way expecting to see the ocean and we saw this:



Somewhere behind that condo is an ocean. Sadly the city fathers let developers build on the beach for too many years.

*************************************************



We
have been to Yo Mama's Ice Cream Shop before. You choose the flavor(s)
of ice cream that you want and then put whatever toppings--and the
choice is large--you want on top. The price is 49 cents an ounce.
Granted the toppings add up quick but it is worth it!!! Oh yes, for those concerned about me spending money we had a 2-4-1 coupon! LOL


*************************************************

   





Afterwards
we went across the street and read t-shirts--hey, it's free (again for
those who are concerned about how I spend my money.
)

******************************************************
Afterwards
we went and bought our winning lotto tickets-- we have to win tonight
because I understand the world is coming to an end either May 11th or
21st!!

*************************************************
IT'S
ROUGH BEING RETIRED AND LIVING IN FORT LAUDERDALE BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO
IT SO I GUESS ALLEN AND I WILL--ISN'T THAT NICE OF US?

You have my sympathy, but, as you pointed out, someone's gotta do it.

Sort of puts my T-shirt messages to shame. You gotta have guts to wear some of them. Enjoyed the photos. I tried for over an hour yest. to post some, but just can't get it done. Either stupid me or stupid computer.

Actually--don't tell anyone--I post them at another blogging site than C & P them to here--for some reason I can't post pictures here--wish Eddie would get another posting picture software setup.

I am so glad that you take on the horrible responsibility of living in Ft. Lauderdale for all of us! You are too kind.

I do try to make it easier for others no matter what the sacrifice!

Hope they really are winning lotto tickets. If you won, I wonder if you would still have time for us, or be out driving your new car.

Of course I wouldn't forget the peasants--that's just how I am--correction--my chauffer will be driving me around in my new old 1971 Caddie convertible.
Oh well I didn't win--maybe Saturday--after 16 years of playing the same numbers I am not giving up!
