Signs of Aloha
I have been told where to go in the past, but never in such a lovely way. These signs point to every place I could possibly want to be. Thanks, Karen. #signs #aloha #directions
Sweet Treat
Roast beef and potatoes scented the air, making the mouth water in anticipation of dinner. That was followed by the delightful dessert pictured above. It’s great being home during the holiday season! #cookies #dinner #roastbeef #holidayseason
Monkey Doodle Dandy
During our morning walk through the neighborhood, we discovered this monkey figure swinging in a tree. It almost looked real, and caught our attention since there are similar-appearing monkeys that live around the Silver River and some other areas in Florida. Obviously someone had fun monkeying around with the tree and a rope, and theirContinue reading “Monkey Doodle Dandy”
Mele Kalikimaka
The Hawaiian word, “ukulele,” is made up of two parts: “uku” which can mean flea, and “lele,” can mean to jump or fall.

Queen Lili’oukalani, however, is said to haveContinue reading “Mele Kalikimaka”
999
As of this morning, we have walked 999 miles this year; tomorrow we will reach our annual goal of 1000 miles and then some. It is good exercise but more importantly, it is great fun. Besides, it is really nice knowing that when my wife tells me to “go take a hike,” she usually wantsContinue reading “999”

Living in Florida makes it easier so say goodbye, and to paraphrase Dr. Seuss: Don’t be sad that it’s over, beContinue reading “Mickey Magic”
Christmas Camellia
The camellia in our yard has tolerated all the cool weather sent its way and has produced many blossoms. Barring any hard freezes, some of them may survive the whole blooming Christmas season. #camellia #christmas #freeze
Snitching Season
I had to agree with a recent Garfield comic that concluded: “The holidays don’t really start until the first Christmas cookie has been snuck.” Let the partying begin! #cookie #holidayseason #snitch #garfield
Of Trees and Gutters
Brisk winds broke a branch free from high overhead and sent it plummeting earthward. It pierced the gutter guard over the center of the downspout, then flipped over, bending the guard at the point of penetration, and landed on the driveway below. The upper left photo shows the bent guard and gutter along with theContinue reading “Of Trees and Gutters”
