Another hot sunny day here in paradise. Robert and Linda visited last Tues. They also took a little " detour " on the way here so I don't feel so bad about my "detour " on the way to Springs... They , like us ,also wanted to travel home in the daylight. 3 hours here , 3 hours to visit and 3 hours back home. Of course they would be driving the last bit through the Occala National Forest with the deer jumping in front of the car headlights at night. A bear had been spotted near the camp as well.. We had a nice visit . They got to see some of the cats including a few of the feral cats.
The pineapple plant in the back yard is growing a pineapple. Eileen has 6 plants that she started from the tops of pineapples. I didn't think they were that easy to grow, but must be as she has a black thumb instead of a green one...I have taken a picture of it as it is just starting to pop out of the centre of the plant. Don't know how fast they grow but will take another before I leave here.
Yesterday went to see a movie. The Bucket List. Really enjoyed it. We have been discussing what we would put on our list before we kick the bucket. It seems I have a list and have been slowly marking them off.... Who'd have known it... Wouldn't you just love to know what else I have on my list?
This morning we went to a arts and craft fair in Sebring. Was interesting and not too hot. Had my first "funnel cake" Must be a thousand calories in it. Was good but even I couldn't eat it all. we should of got one between us, live and learn. Don't think I will be having another one soon though. Sat in the park munching it and watched the really large people walk by. felt really bad but kept right on munching. Sebring is a funny little town. the centre of the town is a circle with a park in it and the streets go out like spokes in a wheel, and the outer streets becoming larger circles. Cute, but hell for traffic.
It is getting hotter out now , glad we came home early. Eileen is trying to have a nap and I just might too. Ah ,,the wonderful life of the retired in Florida.
