Festival of Trees....



We had a lovely time, yesterday, going to the Orlando Museum of Art to see their Festival of Trees.  There were only six of us, and one person has an eight passenger Durango - she drove for us, so we only had to have one vehicle!  That worked out great.  I volunteered to drive, but wasn't looking forward to it.  I don't like driving in Orlando, unless I just have to.  A couple of times a year is enough!

After touring the galleries, full of trees, I also spent some money in the gift shop.  Only two things for me, and the rest are Christmas gifts, so I didn't feel too guilty!  We left the Museum and went into Winter Park for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.  No, we didn't eat cheesecake, but I had a great Cajun burger and sweet potato fries!

Maggie got us back to Lakeland safely, and bless her for driving!  Below are the photos I took of some of the trees, and a couple of the dozen or so gingerbread houses.   This is just a sample of what they had, and all were for sale (or had been sold).  They also had a gallery full of wreaths and table decorations for sale.  I didn't get photos there - too many people in a narrow space.  (Notice the tree made out of Tupperware bowls!)

Today is our quarterly Investment Review Committee meeting, at lunchtime, and I am working on the October statements and financial reports.  Wishing you a good Wednesday!  Peace, love & hugs.

  3. What talent and the tupperware tree is interesting! I saw some wreaths on the link that you posted the other day and thought of yours. My little tree that my mother gave me many years ago is kind of falling apart. Maybe I should think f creating one.
