Good morning Today, we are off to find mint or mint jelly to serve with lamb. We have invited the Henrys over for dinner tomorrow night and are having lamb. Trish thinks we may find mint at a garden cent so that is where we will start.

Yesterday, John Henry and I went to the hotel to hit golf balls. The old system of just walking over to the pro shop is no more. You have to walk up the road, around a bit, then to the pro shop. We decided to go to another country, so off to Spain. We hit some balls, did some chipping and John took a couple of shots from the sand trap. We wrapped up the day with some putting. Once home, we got Trish and Kelly and had lunch by the pool. I have included pictures of the course and the pool,
Good afternoon. Today, we went to Almancil and Albufeira. Cabanas is very nice, but I would like to be closer to a golf course. There are several on the map in Almancil, so off we went. I was clearly a couple of levels above my pay grade. Just past the course we had entered into the GPS, we found ourselves in a development of homes. The homes were very modern, large, and clearly quite expensive. I guessed they were in the millions. Driving twenty minutes to Spain really isn’t that bad. Next, off to Albufeira for lunch. It is a port with an opening to the ocean, which appears to have been blasted. You will see the entrance in the pictures. Lunch was supposed to be at the Irish Pub. We ordered coffee and waited for the menu. Finally, we asked if we could have a menu, only to be told their kitchen was closed. We could order from the restaurant next door. We ate it, but it wasn't much. Driving through Fero, we took a shortcut to the ocean, but it was a dead end. I believe ...
Good evening to all The Henry's have arrived and now are in their own home. They are a little north of us, about a ten-minute walk. While today was not hot, and the sun did not come out much, I took my sweater off for a bit while Lawn Bowling. Kelly and I went for a walk at 4:30. She insisted we go. There were few people out and around, and overcast. As we walked, I saw a number of flowers, so I thought I would send you some pictures. I have not figured out how to make it neater. SORRY
Good morning It is now February 1st, so there is an additional cost for viewing this picture. In the spirit of cooperation with our neighbour to the south, I have put a 25% tariff on the blog. Trish reminds me that 25% of nothing is nothing, but I still wish to be in sync. We see the bird below several mornings but do not know what kind of bird it is. If you know, please put a comment on the blog.
Good evening Yesterday, I went to Faro Airport and picked up John, Delores Henry, and Kate, Delores's sister. They had a good flight but were tired. Last night and tonight, they will stay with us, and then on Saturday, they will move into their new place. Today, I played lawn bowls in beautiful weather. The sun started out a bit cool but warmed up quickly. Over the last few days, it has been getting hotter. The sun has been shining with not a cloud in the sky. So far, we've been quite prepared to do little. I've bowled, and every couple of days, we go to The Contenente to shop. So far, we have been quite prepared to do almost nothing. I have bowled, and every couple of days, we go to The Contenente to shop. We will try to think up something interesting to do.
