On Tuesday evening, I went to a special event at the Museum (where I used to work) to honor a long-time volunteer who was instrumental in getting the museum started 65 years ago. She is retiring from the Board of Trustees (in her 90s now) and was honored with a sculpture that will be installed in the sculpture garden. She and her late husband have been very philanthropic over the years, to the museum and other non-profits. I got a few pictures but this one is the best with the sculpture and Miss Sarah (in pink) behind the podium.
So I'm sitting at my desk on Wednesday and the boss asked me if I wanted to come with him while he checked on some of the water flow apparatus and I said YES! He even stopped along the way so I could take some photos. There are 29 lakes, and 22 of them are available for public use (fishing, boating). There are also hiking trails and horseback trails. Here are some of the pictures I took..
I am so blessed to work where there is so much beauty. AND we also checked a couple of gator lines that a trapper had set. There the beef livers hung, over the water just like you see on Swamp People. No gators on the lines but it was kind of exciting!
On Wednesday evening, I met three of my friends for what we call Lupper. It has been Shirley, Heather, and me for most of the summer but Terry is home from their summer in Georgia and she was able to join us! It was great catching up with everyone. We ate and talked and talked and talked.
Shirley is a stitcher and her son got her this kit for Christmas last year. It has taken her nine months to get it finished. It has over 50 colors of floss. She is so glad it is done and brought it for us to see.
I see my doctor this afternoon for blood work results. I've already seen the results on my portal so know the numbers all look okay. Guess I still have to see her so they can bill Medicare. Just glad it's Friday!!
Tomorrow I am going to the Pioneer Day Celebration down in Lake Wales (a town southeast of here). My boss's wife is going with me so it should be fun!! I'll have something fun to report in my Weekend Recap on Monday! My new friend, Vol-M, is one of the artists with a booth there and I am anxious to see her craft. She does Rosemaling. A new craft for me as I had never heard of it before.
