Glad I'm not in that line.



Recently we went to the Orlando International Airport and picked up some friends that flew down from NY.  It was 8:00 PM and this is the line that greeted us at the top of the escalator. 
My My, these are the sights that make me NOT want to fly, anywhere.  I'm notoriously petrified of being late and left behind, be it by a bus, train or even a car. I can imagine if I were in that line I'd have an ulcer by the time I checked in, it was a two hour wait time!! I'd be worring the whole time that I would miss my flight and be left behind.  I had to question about six people that were in the line about where they were headed that would draw such a line and it was some where in South America None of the boarders  spoke English 😐 very frustrating, I had lots more questions I would have liked to have asked. 


This may look like the same line but its NOT, it was another out of country line. Geeze! I don't know how everyone knows what to do, I'd be overwhelmed. I specialize in the pick, up I usually find it very soothing, get in get out, all smiles and happy hellos. 


My happy "pick up face." I love the OIA it is a very pretty place and so interesting with all the different people to watch.  I enjoy getting there early with a cup of coffee and just watching all the activity and thinking about the stories playing out within each person. 


This is the atrium area where hotel is. There is a big glass elevator that's very futuristic, so many plants and lights. 



This display is EXCELLENT! This guy is in a big glass box, he is a statue made of bronze but looks absolutely real!!! The skin color and texture make you think he will pop up any second and say, "Hi!" 




So flying is still a mystery to me but I am super glad that in my life there are still some mysteries yet to explore, lets just save this one for quite awhile.

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...

A Birthday party 🥳

Image
  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 love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  ...
