The local restaurant chain Kobe Japanese Steakhouse
The variety of boat rides (I especially like the one at Mt. Dora)
The music scene

Miami sound machine.... Gloria Estefan...and image Crockett and Rico driving to Christopher Cross or Adele... Phil Collins has those 2 detective every time we hear that song

Cape Canaveral...area code 321... that should be final Jeopardy question or how many alligators can you see from the tour bus for those reptiles must thrive on the state with better earth rotations and linear velocity and down range ocean collertal damage

But we owe it all to pounce de Leon.. after being bored with Puerto Rico he had to explore a giant Land mass of wasteland that was beyond any imagination of use..... how could the fountain of youth be in that scrub land he should have followed Magellan around the Cape and found.... ANIHEIEM ... the fountain of youth ...and that is not a myth

Good Sunday Morning!

I’ll focus on my DH……

#1 - Mr. Fix It - The man can fix almost everything. He’s not comfortable with attempting to fix different plumbing or electrical problems, but everything else he can.

#2 - Does Outdoor Chores - when we got married we agreed that he’ll do outside chores and I do inside chores and I’m glad he kept his end of the bargain. I do yard work, but I don’t cut grass, blow snow, take care of the pool and etc.

#3 - He’s Creative - He’s always very creative, and was the girls go to person for school projects.

I’ll try and come up with three couples but I think I’ll fall short - sadly my family is extremely dysfunctional so I do not know my extended family so I can’t say grandparents because I don’t know my grandparents I can’t say any aunts and uncles because again I don’t know them we didn’t live by them and I have not met most of them. I definitely cannot say parents Nor could I have said my ex in-laws
So I’m running out a couples here

I will say that I have two sets of neighbors one on each side of me that are the nicest people in the world
I had texted one of them yesterday To ask a question on how to fix something and next thing I know He asked if he can come over and I said of course you can and I said bring your wife and keep in mind this is an older couple Not in great health So they came over and of course he brought some tools for me And half the time he gives them to me And he shows me how to use them And he tells me what I need to do and he make sure I’m all set up and then we sit and visit for hours!! Bunnies always available to answer my questions and help me out the best that he can And there’s no pain in him back Because according to him he’s just being neighborly

There’s my other neighbors on the other side of me they’re always worried about me especially when I take my dog out at night so that they turn their security cameras on my yard in case some wild animal gets me they wanna know about it so they can come help me!! He even told his wife that it’s her job to look after me because I live alone!! They’re really nice people And I’m very grateful to have them as neighbors

Michelle and Barack Obama. Setting all politics aside, they have an admirable relationship and have raised to lovely daughters. They like and respect each other, and were wonderful, decent role models for the youth of the USA. Eight years in the White House and no scandal, even though there were people who tried hard to find some dirt on them. I think they are an amazing, influential, respectable, family-focused couple. (If you want to argue, take it to the Controversial Topics board.)

"Couples" (duos?) that made iconic music in the 60s/70s: Simon&Garfunkel, Ike&Tina Turner, The Carpenters, Everly Brothers, Sonny&Cher, Captain&Tenille, Flatt and Scruggs, etc. Personal relationships might not have been great, but they made some darned fine music!

Dance Couples- Baryishnikov & Kirkland, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey... you get the idea, and the theme extends to Ice Dancing, DWTS contestants, etc. We are a dance family so ALWAYS appreciate great dancing!

Going to church... caring for very ill dog... attending a social dinner...all in 24 hours.... but here is what makes herself ...
INDUSTRIAL

She has done a great job b on turning a single wide trailer trash building into a home ... purchase by auction in addition it also has a half section of a modular home attached so is a large living space decorated in border culture and so spacious that most of the holiday functions take place in the house. We have more windows than our wealthy friends and they just love the sunlight

Friendship. She is the hub of 3 social circles ... everyday someone wants her company...I am a loner and no one calls me...so my social activity revolve around her found friends

Garden work. That is what we have and share in common. She buys the plants... I dig the hole and hand water each plant...she prunes the plants... together we have created the most beautiful and diverse yard of many surrounding blocks

Did you watch skating over the weekend... I watch ice to see the interpretation of the music to movement

The male skater used the soundtrack from The mission...very haunting.. I heard tones from Goodwill hunting
