OCALA FLORIDA NEW EGRET MOTEL MARION COUNTY

 
 

A WATER MCDONALD MORNING!

I took this pic for my cardmaking. It is one of my top 5 favorite paper pics for crafting.
I printed it at Costco from my digital camera. Glossy finish.
It is about 4 inches by about 6 inches.
I took this somewhere on the water between Texas and Maryland. I cannot remember where. We covered the coasts from Texas over to Florida Key West and then up the Atlantic Coast. Nothing like starting the day like this!
Great for card making, scrap booking or other crafting activities. Nice to have in your paper pic collections for future projects.
I took it sometime between 2005 and 2008
I only ship to United States addresses.

LOVELY TO WEAR.... ESTATE VINTAGE 3 STRAND FAUX PEARL NECKLACE



 
The shortest strand stretches about 13 1/2 inches from end to end.
The second strand also has clear faceted beads interspersed between the faux pearls.
Silvertone in color clasp areas.
 

CRUISING THE ALAFIA RIVER

I HAVE IN THE PAST  ENJOYED CRUSING THE ALAFIA RIVER IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY FLORIDA IN OUR PONTOON BOAT.
 
NOTHING BETTER ON A HOT SUNNY DAY IN MARCH with visiting Yankee friends!
FEEL THE BREEZE! ENJOY THE HEAT AFTER A COLD WINTER UP NORTH JUST WEEKS BEFORE! SMELL THE FISHY SMELLS... SEE THE TURTLES SUNNING ON THE LOGS...FRIED CHICKEN FROM ALBERTSONS.
 
This ship in the pic was docked where the Alafia River flows into the Tampa Bay area.  Looks like IRIKA and PANAMA printed on the ship. The size of these ships was very impressive when approaching them in our smaller pontoon!  And at the same time the ship details you can see in the pic made it seem like  a little Lego ship!

Hanky? or Kleenex?

Which are you? A hanky person or a Kleenex person??
I love running into hanky people!
Personally I prefer the  Sam's Club Brand tissues without the softeners added to them.
But hankies take me back in time to the days when you would see someone you now miss open  their pocketbook or reach into their suit pocket and get their new unused handerkerchief. That's why I love seeing people still use them..the back in time thing!... I used to love getting hankies as teacher gifts...I used to love opening them  up at Christmas time and seeing the many beautful colors and textures they came up with. ...I even used to love the boxes they came in... And I miss the people and place memories of the days when they were used by all.
I love seeing people collecting them on Ebay and Etsy. They really are works of art! And wonderful memories of days gone by.

A BLOGGER BUDDY

Ol' teachers never die they just turn into BLOGGERS!
Every morning before I jump into my computer/blogging world I grab my Diet Pepsi and Moon Pie...well not the moon pie any more sob sob.. I am now on CalorieCount and am having to settle for a Ding Dong(fewer calories) and I pull up my ol Blogger Buddy's daily blog post. This is A friend from my Towson University days up in Baltimore who headed north after graduation and developed his educational life and a wonderful marriage in these 50 years since we graduated. I on the other hand headed south into education in Prince William in Virginia and a wild fun marriage even down into Florida.
It is a hoot comparing posts from such two different endings after similar beginnings!
Don't miss his daily blog and especially today's: Fear, Fun and Filoz.
