A Melting Pot

Wow! check out our cool Yucca plant it is blooming. Charlie looked it up last night and said the name if it is a Mohave Yucca. Pretty good detective work if you ask me because they all seem to kinda look alike. This plant is TALL and the stalk is huge. I think it should be called the T-pin yucca because the little blooms (if you can call them that) look just like T-pins, bellow is a picture of me holding a T-pin that I found in my sewing basket.  




If you can zoom in, you can see the shape of each bloom looks just like the T-pin.  Also, Charlie read that the stalk is sometimes used to make the didgeridoo a native Australian musical instrument.  The plant is also native to southern California. 
So not only is a Florida retirement community a melting pot of people but of plants also evidently.

A Birthday party 🥳

  Tuesday night we celebrated the birthday of a close friend. We went out to eat at a local well-known restaurant in new Smyrna call The Garlic. I have wanted to go there for years, so it made the celebration extra special for me. What a wonderful surprise, it really is an interesting restaurant. I haven’t seen a restaurant as decked out as this one in years. They have so many wonderful things to look at and the food was incredible.  The dishes that they served the food in really made the meal amazing. Everyone had a lot of fun and went away full and happy. It’s definitely a place to go for a very special occasion. I would definitely look forward to doing it again.

I bet you can tell where I am.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u...
