Great time......

I had the opportunity to spend a night at "the happiest place on earth"....Disneyworld in Orlando.  I traveled to Orlando with my neighbor for some shopping, dinner and more shopping.

We stayed at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Hotel.  Great place especially for families.  They have a heated outdoor pool with a lazy river that you can hop on an inter-tube and just float around. Then at night they have movie night, outside although I did not smell any popcorn.  Last night's feature was Toy Story 3.

For you foodies.....yummy dinner at Emeril's Tchoup Chop Restaurant at Universal.  Excellent atmosphere and food.


Sunday was brunch at the hotel and shopping at the Disney Store and stopping by the Lego store for pictures of their creations.

Aren't these just amazing.  They are all made of Lego's.....wow.  Looking forward to returning and hoping to get to one of the many parks next time.  Have a great day.

    Incredible, those Lego's!
    I'm drooling because of the food and the weather! The only thing I've done outside lately is get my mail!
    Keep sending us those great pictures.

    I have never, ever had any desire to do Disneyworld, but I think you might've just changed my mind. It looks and sounds incredible!!

    Jude,
    We were thinking of a quick trip to Disney in April for a day or two. Do you know of any bus excursions that go there from the Venice area?

A little change of scenery.....

This past weekend I was visiting with my old neighbor at her home in Michigan. September is very nice in the Grand Rapids area, warm days and cooler nights. It was refreshing to escape the humidity of SW Florida. There are sooooo many apple orchards in the area, and she chose one that she had not been too.  So here are just a few pictures.  No pumpkin patch or pumpkins.  Enjoy!

Learning something new....

They say as you get older you should continue to learn something new to keep your body and mind active.  Well, I certainly qualify for this. In December, I took sailing lessons, it was fun, frustrating and fantastic.  This has been fun on so many levels.  Just being on the water takes me to a very relaxing space.  Along with learning to sail comes taking pictures of the adventure, which isn't new, but taking videos is something new and then what do you do with all those videos. Well, you learn how to create something with them, which I did. I have created a YouTube channel to share this new adventure.  My friend and I are avid coffee drinkers and not decaf, which we incorporated in our channel name.   Our channel name is DeepSixDecaf . So after about 3 weeks of pictures and videos today I was able to post a video. Please stop over to the channel and take a look, here is a link for you.  Thanking you for taking the time to check it out!...

September 10, 2017 is a date that I will remember for a long time.  It is like 9/11, we remember where we were and what we were doing at a particular moment in time. The days leading up to September 10 were very busy, not only in my personal life, but at the office and with our staff.  Making sure that before we left that Friday we had all our equipment away from windows, stuffed in closets and covered with trash bags, just in case.  Everything was moved but the desks.  It had been a long time since the desks were that empty, almost like we were moving either into or out of this office.  Also, keeping in contact with the staff to make sure everyone was safe.  The plan was that I would text everyone several times a day and they needed to respond to me that all was okay.  They did a great job keeping up with this throughout the storm and afterwards. Leading up to the weekend, I had been preparing at home.  Making sure my truck had a full tank of...
