Thursday

HERE and THERE

While I was preparing to come down to Florida this winter I knew that a few of my close friends would not be joining me this season. In my mind I figured that it would be a quiet few months but at least I won't be in the freezing and snowy north country.

Well, it has turned out to be one of the busiest and happiest winters in a long time. Haven't spent much time at the pool since it's been so cool BUT the few times that I went, I renewed acquaintance with any old Florida friend and met a few new ladies.


Nassau, Bahamas - Palm Tree

When I stop to think about it, I have some friends who love to cook and bake, some don't know what the kitchen is for, some love the movies, some never go, some love to shop, some hate it, some are reader, some not, some could go out to eat every night, some only want to go out once in a blue moon. And, you know what, that's a good thing - variety is the spice of life so if you feel like a movie, you have a movie buddy, if you feel like going out to eat, you have a buddy for that too.

One of my friends is always on the look-out for a fun or unusual activity that doesn't cost much money. She introduced me to Paradise Bank in Boca Raton. She has an account with this most unusual bank that sponsors a complimentary lunch every Wednesdasy for clients and their friends. I'm one of her lucky friends that has enjoyed some delicious lunches.

As a matter of fact, I'll be going to the bank for lunch this coming Wednesday. Once you are out with my friend you can count on doing something interesting after the lunch, we'll be going to a temple nearby that will be offering a program presented by a musical group. Admission is $3.00. The programs are usually enjoyable.

That's just a taste of what she comes up with!!

Now, it's getting to be time for me to pack up and head North. My thoughts now are, I have a big adjustment coming up.

Over the past few years the population in my development back home has changed, so instead of going 75 miles an hour, I'll be going 25 miles an hour. I might like it at first, till I get settled again but then I'll be looking to make waves.

"Seek and ye shall find." I'll try.

Lot's to do before I leave so I just might make one more post before I close shop here.

Bye for now.
