A Day Of Inspiration
















How is it that I have lived in Tampa for all these years and never been to Safety Harbour????
Teresa and I went in search of the Bowling Ball House..Another Roadside Attraction...The house is named "Whimzey" really.
We were amazed by what we found there ...creativity abounds, all done with recycled materials and a great inspiration to any artist as well as anyone wanting to go green.....and by how many people around these two artist's have jumped on their band wagon... Others have brightened up the homes all around The Bowling Ball House....What a great small town, right by the water...
We walked out onto the pier and watched the dolphins swim, while a stormy sky hung in the distance...A baby blue heron had his eye one us at the same time..
In the middle of the town there is the largest old oak tree I ever remember seeing and it is fenced off for it's own protection...beautiful....and people were in the park enjoying the farmers market as well.. I have heard of the Safety Harbour Spa for ever, and now I know where it is... Easy breezy to get there and very well worth the trip across the bay......
Wow.. I am ready to go looking for more Florida roadside attractions[ sooner rather then later]...
What a great day.... Thank You Teresa .....

Adventures in Florida









WoW!!! This is the last day of this big adventure... Aidan's last day of his first trip...
It went by way to fast...
I was so excited to get to be there for his first time in the pool...Splashing and kicking and loving every minute of it....
I put two different pairs of shoes on his feet, only long enough to get pictures, and he hated that....
He got to eat his Grandpa Angelos famous[ Suko] [Spelling ,I don't know]....  He loved it and I was not there for that but did see pictures. [I was working.]
It was the first time in a walker and he pushed himself backwards a bit but ,he still seems to prefer the bouncy chair more ,right now....
We took him to meet his Great Grandma White and Aunt Debbie, and he grinned up a storm for them.. Deb blew him some bubbles, fun... he loved that too!!!
 He met many, many, many other new people, both family and friends and had a big smile for everyone of them...What a great boy he is....
They all went to spend the night at the other Grandparents house last night, and we are waiting for their return....
I sure hate to see it come to an end... All three will be missed!!!
And now with Jalyn off on a big adventure of her own ,it is going to be weird around here...and she will be missed too!!!
Ok on with this last day.. We have to make it the best day yet....

The kids and grandkid are here and I am so happy to see them again....
What a trooper Aidan is, so good on the all day, two plane, trip...
They arrived at 11:oop.m. and he was smiling and gabbing and so happy....
I put him right in the walker and he was off... backward of course, but on his way... What a great boy he is....Mom and dad were tired but good ,but can't believe the hot and sticky...It's been a while for them...
Wy was so excited to get to meet his grandson in person... It was a great night.
Even Aidan's two uncles came out into the late night to meet him....
All is well in our house and I am looking forward to everything to come while they are here...
