Lewis Park -Trees

Oak tree
I stood in Wal-Mart debating on which toilet seat would fit Bob's toilet. There were only two wooden ones, so I had a 50/50 chance of buying the right one.....

I bought the wrong size. So if I had a 50/50 chance why is it that NINE times out of TEN, a 50/50 choice is the wrong one?
Bottom of tall palm tree
another question. Do Men Listen when we talk?

I stood in the living room and said:

 " I am going to WM to return the toilet seat. I know we are going tomorrow to get the pool chemicals but we are out of Pumpkin for the dogs, so I am going now and will stop to visit Rich on the way home."

I pick up my keys and Bob says..... "if you are going out, don't forget you need to exchange the toilet seat."

I REST MY CASE! and he did For Real say this. Of course he was watching Drag Racing while I was talking.

Lewis Park - Kids


Lewis Park is very kid friendly, things to climb on, tables to eat on, merry go rounds to go round and round.



Why do bicycles fall over?   Because they are two-tired...



How do rabbits travel?     By HarePlanes


 and beautiful and very unique fountains to drink from


 PLUS wildlife to watch

Teacher: John, where is our homework?
John: I made it into a paper plane and someone hijacked it!

Lewis Park-Shadows


Lewis Park is only a few  blocks out of my way on the drive home from my library. It is a park for children, a memorial park and a photographer paradise for nature shots.


The park has something for every one, it includes memorial trees, playground, 2 gazebo's, mulched walking trails and open green space to wander in.


there are two pedestrian bridges that cross a small winding creek. at certain times of the day water fowl can be found in the creek.



Lewis Park is the ideal spot for a stroll in the shade, or to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet or to have a picnic.

Bananas July 6 - July 10


On July 6 they looked like orchids, enlarge for details





 July 10th they turned from Orchids to below


 And on July 10th this is a new pod starting. If you enlarge the above you can see the ants inside the flowers, the pods are dripping sweet juice off onto the leaves below and the ants are having a party.


this has been in my drafts for 3 weeks, and alas!!! the pod dropped all the flowers and the 5 new bananas are dying. that is OK.... there is always NEXT year.

You KNOW you are OLD if....

Reflections on my kitchen table
You KNOW you are OLD if.... you entertain yourself by snapping photos of your kitchen table..


Painting of an Egret , painted by my friend, Rich's  cousin. It is 5 feet long and 2 feet wide and stunning.
You KNOW you are OLD if.... when you mention your favorite Movie stars (Clint Eastwood, Sam Elliott, Charles Bronson) the person listening, says WHO?


You KNOW you are OLD if.... you need a timer to remind you to take you 8 AM pill and when said timer has  been with you since 1980 (32 years if my math is still working) that timer has lived in 9 homes and it still works better than I do.


and last but not least....You KNOW you are OLD if.... You start to say a word and it will not come to you and you describe the meaning to your hubby and ask him to come up with the word....and he can't think of it either.
 we are both like an 8 ball, waiting and waiting for the word we want to float to the top of our brain. 


You KNOW you are OLD if....you can't spell half the words you go to type and get the red squiggle under them from spell check and sometimes it is so misspelled spell check can't guess what you mean.


And this is  ME when you say WHAT'S an 8 Ball..... because this means YOU ARE NOT OLD

Day Ten! I am back!

Day nine after surgery,  I spent walking, I walked 5 times around the pool, 5 times a day! our pool is 40 x 20, you do the math, I can't.
while Walking I saw Pan snuggled in the green leaves and finally felt the urge to SNAP!







When I downloaded the pics from my Rebel, I found 110 photos that i had taken prior to July 12th, they had been in the camera for 14 days, which is a phenomena all by itself and add the fact I did not touch the camera for 10 days and Wow!.

Day TEN today, I drove to CVS and now feel the urge to POST!


Surgery MadSnapper Triva

When you are told not to lift anything more than 5 pounds and do not bend over to pick up things off the floor, do you drop things MORE because you can't pick them up? or do you just NOTICE you drop a lot of things all the time because you can't pick them up.
I knocked the phone off the bedside table, it went behind the bed. Would I have done that if I could stretch and bend to retrieve it? Would I have knocked it off anyway? or did I just NOTICE it more.
