Maybe, maybe, the garden will grow.


Carrots and radishes all in a row.


And of course eggplant, beets, lettuce, tomato, strawberries, basil and parsley, and sunflowers.

Easter bunny left a basket

with all of my favorite things; Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Lindt White Chocolate Truffles, Altoids Curiously Strong Mints (peppermint), Altoids Chewing Gum (spearmint), Russell Stover Raspberry Whip eggs, Whoppers, Starburst jelly beans and a couple of Cadbury eggs. How did she know?

Gerry & Sandy’s “Big Bang” House Warming Party

Pig included.


Lots of other good food and drink but, really, what can top this. Note the head on the side of the grill. It fell off earlier when the pig fell into the tub. Now that's a party!

Austin Powers was here.

Grooviest ever ceiling fixture. It's in my hallway. It came free with the house. What a deal.

My friend Dave.

My oldest friend as in the longest term not oldest age. We first met somewhere in late 69 or early 70 and have managed to stay in touch sporadically over the years. The advent of e-mail made it more possible than ever. Now when he passes through to visit family we have a chance to eat and chat. It was a wonderful but all too short visit. You can tell that by the fact that I never even got a picture. So here he is on the TV station website. You can read his commentaries anytime at WPBN.



By the way, his name's not really Dave. It's Peet.

Out with new, in with the newer.

Alas, the red furniture I so dearly loved (see way back in October) "dye transferred". That's furniture sales people lingo for when you sit on it it rubs off on your favorite white shirt and makes it pink. They reordered and - second verse, same as the first - so letting go of my idea of perfect red furniture I ended up with this.


Like buttah. Soft, beauteous leather. Come on over and sit a spell.

Ripped down those freakin' shower doors this weekend.

I have to admit the shower curtain is pretty girlie but then it was an Anthropologie find. Anthropologie has to be the girliest store ever.
The hooks.

Who knew Hardee's bought out Burger Chef?



Not me. Not Pam. But Dave does. He owns the Hardee's in SpringHill and has this hanging on the wall. We had a Burger Chef reminisce. Wednesday is motorcycle night.

Christmas present from Pam.

The Jersey Boys - Oh, what a night - two hours of memorable music.

What do you get when you mix a few dominoes with a craft board?

Why, a street sign with your address, of course.

I want this!



It's five feet tall and the coolest yard ornament I've ever seen. If anyone wants to buy it for me (at almost 300 bucks!) it's at Harmony Gardens.

Not a shooter! Only a gunman.

Just some dumb kid in the food court fighting with another kid about a debt. Information distribution was a nightmare and there was a great deal of confusion about was and wasn't accurate and we should or should not do. I think our info and evac system needs a tweak or two.

Making a rainbarrel.

The teacher. The choices...hmmm...I'll take the pepperocini barrel.Getting the spigot in wasn't easy.
But the final product is a keeper.

Azaleas, dogwood and redbuds, oh my.

It can only mean springtime has hit the Gator nation.

The last of the "recycled" bricks.

Filled with leaves to compost for now it will become a springtime raised bed of peppers and tomatoes and whatever else tickles my fancy. I'm taking a class on the 6th so we'll see how right or wrong I've got it.

Even birds need a rainy day place to hang.

Pandora gets a perfect sky for her evening stroll.

Hey diddle diddle, the cats in the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.

In this case, the horse jumped over the fence. Really, just out there in the middle of nowhere en-route to Waldo.

A perfect pile of construction swag.

I loaded the trunk with the help of JoAnn and Jocelyn. Three times. I love trash.
The stockpile. A work in progress.The finished product.

Bill's skully ball.

Named for Dana I suppose.
