Friday Fotos...

 

I have a few new photos from this week!! I am working today and then will see Helen after work. I finally have answers and will address those later.  It is working out, even though not the way I wanted.

On Tuesday, Kali (my son Jeff's girlfriend) and her parents came to Lakeland.  Her sister, Leslie, was working from home and couldn't come with them.  I was sorry to miss seeing her but we had a great time with Kali, Stuart, and Maureen!  We met them at our beautiful Hollis Gardens.  Stuart is a photographer (as a hobby) and brought his camera.  

I didn't take many photos of the Gardens since I have been there so many times.
I did snap this one of Maureen, Kali, and my sister Tammy.

Stuart was all over the place snapping photos!

I wanted to have lunch at the Garden Bistro, but it was closed for the holidays.

I took them, instead, to the Black & Brew Café, by the Museum.

It is also by Lake Morton, our bird sanctuary lake.

Stuart was snapping photos like crazy.  Kali was putting quarters in

the feeder and had fun feeding the waterfowl.  It was fun.

From there, we went back to the Museum and visited the gift shop.

Tammy and I said goodbye to them from there.  It was such a fun afternoon.

This photo isn't mine, but my co-worker, Paolo, snapped it

outside the office and texted it to me.  He was working late and stepped outside to see

this large bobcat right by the mailbox I check every morning.

Beautiful capture!!

That's all I've got.  I worked all day yesterday (Thursday).  Not used to that but I was happy to have the day off I made up for.  I am working today and Monday, even though everyone else is off.  I will take the Christmas tree down in our lobby and will work on an inventory of the pamphlets we have on each lake.  Paolo thinks we need to order more for the coming year.  I will have enough to do while everyone enjoys another 4-day weekend/holiday.  I have no plans for New Year's Eve or Day but will be seeing Helen and talking to folks at Opis, where it seems she will be staying. 😒

Peace & hugs!

As the dawn breaks on a new year, let us give thanks for all we hold dear: our health, our family, and our friends. Let us release our grudges, our anger, and our pains, for these are nothing but binding chains. Let us live each day in the 

most loving ways, the God-conscious way.
