D.A.R. application, Mike's PT and other things

Mike spent the first 2 weeks of this month going to physical therapy 3 days a week as follow-up to his knee replacement surgery.

We drove up to West Melbourne on the 3rd to see the movie Star Trek Beyond at the IMAX theater there. Afterwards we stopped at 5 Guys to have a couple of bacon cheeseburgers and fries - the small cheeseburgers. 

We had some sad news that a high school friend of Mike's had died earlier this month and we drove down to Lake Worth on the 13th to attend his funeral. 

Before our next door neighbor moved several months ago, she gave me about 2 dozen Flaming Torch bromeliads from her garden and a few of them are blooming. 


I've been kind of toying with the idea for years of joining the Daughters of the American Revolution. So this month on the 25th I met with Laura from the D.A.R. at the Vero Library and we went over the records and documentation I have proving my relationship back to my
4th great-grandfather Jacob Utley and his father William Utley, my 5th great-grandfather on my mother's side. So now I just have to wait to see my application will be approved. My mother was always curious about her father's family and I just wish I had had the information I now have back when my mother was still living.

Looking back through this month we sure did eat out a lot! We had breakfast at C J Cannon's and Kountry Kitchen in Vero and Sebastian Roadside and Country Ham N' Egg in Sebastian, lunch at the Sandwich Shack (twice) in Sebastian and dinner at Ay Jalisco here in Sebastian. Our neighbor Barbara had us over for dinner for a pork roast, potatoes and asparagus with apple pie and ice cream for dessert.
