More Pics For You

March 10, 2010

Well, I 've made it back here, but I can't stay very long because there is already a line waiting for this "one and only" laptop internet connection. Can you imagine? Almost everybody here has a laptop and there is only one place to hook up a laptop!! You know, my little computer room back home is beginning to look like internet heaven right about now!

*

I didn't do much of anything exciting today. Mostly just hung out, watched a bit of TV, read some of my book, and worked a bit on my laptop. Maybe tomorrow will bring a bit more energy and excitement for me. I hate to say it, but I am beginning to get bored here. I don't know anyone here to go out and do things with. Ah well. At least the weather is just gorgeous, and I really do love that part of it.

*

I do have some more photos to share. First let me apologize because I do not know the names of all the birds and animals that I photographed, and I do not have my books here with me to look them all up. I could look them up on the internet, but that would use up all of my time, so please bear with me.

*

One day when we went food shopping, there were two of the most lovely birds off to the side of the parking lot. Of course, we got out the cameras and had ourselves a grand old time. I'm not sure of the name of the bird, but I do have two photos of it to show you. One a full length, and one a close up.
*

The next photo is of a license plate that was a car parked near mine. I just thought it was so interesting, that I had to take a photo of it.

*

And last, but not least, I have a photo of one of the musicians that were playing in the park that afternoon in Animal Kingdom. I have smudged out nearby faces for obvious reasons.

Now, I must leave you. People are beginning to look at me sort of funny. Not to mention, they each have a laptop with them. sigh! sigh! Till my next visit over here, Y'all have a grand evening.

It's Snail Mail or No Mail

March 9, 2010

*

Well I made it back over here again (to the computer room). The last time I was here it was so cold that I complained at the office about it. This evening, it is quite warm in here. Seems like you can't win for losing!!

*

Today the temperature was in the 70's here, so I went out for a ride and to do a bit of shopping. Every time I go out, I pass a place where you can take a helicopter tour of the area. I am so tempted to try this out. Who knows? Maybe before I head home, I will treat me to a helicopter ride!!

*
We have a 30 minute limit here to use the internet connection, so my posts from here cannot be very long. Plus it takes forever to download and upload anything - they have dial-up internet here. For the life of me I cannot understand why they couldn't at least put in high speed service. Oh well, I'll be home soon enough and back to my high speed.

*
Today I only have two photos for you, but oh are they ever nice!! They are of a giraffe who was busy having himself some lunch, and didn't mind my taking photos of him. Enjoy.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Baby Squirrel?

March 8, 2010

Wow, today is another FANTASTIC! day here in Kissimmee Florida. There are lots of people in the pool, and quite a few just sun-tanning. My friends left to head for home this morning. I'm hoping they don't hit too much bad weather.

*

I must share a funny story about my friend, Mary Ann, A couple of days ago, she was on her way to the hot tub (over at the pool area), when she was attacked by a baby squirrel. Yup!! A little tiny toddler squirrel scared her out of her wits. She came running back in yelling "Help! Help! There's an animal trying to attack me!!" After that, she would look to see if he was out there, and if he was, she would walk all the way around the building to avoid him.

*

Today, after I threw out more food for the little guy, (wasn't that nice of me?) I thought I would snap a few pictures of him to share with you. He is just the cutest little thing.

*

"Mary Ann, where are you?

"I don't see you, Mary Ann!"

I have a couple more photos from Animal Kingdom for you too. First I have a rather large gorilla. He was sitting in the shade picking through some leafy branches. Then I have some alligators. They look like their tummies are full, so they won't mind my taking some photos. Enjoy!

*

That's all for today. I have to go to the laundry building to rescue my laundry. Till my next journey over here to the computer room, Y'all have a fantastic day.

Pix From Florida

March 7, 2010
*

Well, today is another simply gorgeous day here in sunny Florida. I bet you can't tell that I'm loving this warm weather!! Today must have got to about 68 to 70 degrees. Yes'm, I can dig it!!

*Yesterday, we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom, and boy oh boy, did we ever have a really grand time there. Would you believe, I took 1,134 photos while we were there? Yup!! I certainly did. There was just so much to see and photograph.

*

It will take me a while to go through all my photos, and crop and re-size a lot of them to share, but little by little they will get done. Today, I have some for you. First I have a Komodo Dragon, and then I have a Roseate Spoonbill. I hope you like them.

*

That's all I have for today. It's freezing here in the computer building. I think they do it on purpose so no one will stay in here very long. Till my next jaunt over here, Y'all have a fantabulous day.

Wanna See My New Fla Mug?

March 5, 2010

Hi folks!! Today is just gorgeous outside. My friends Mary Ann and Gene are here, and we are going to go looking for things to photograph in just a little while. Yesterday was quite cool, yet lots nicer than snow and sleet (like back home!), so I didn't do very much, mostly rested.

Every year when I come down here, I buy a Fla mug. (That's short for Florida) My condo only has dainty little cups and I enjoy a mug with my coffee. This year I finally found one with my name on it, so of course I had to have it. It's the first one I ever found that had my name on it.

*

Last night I didn't sleep very well, so I got up and made a layout to show off my new mug. Wanna see it?

Right now, we are in the computer building checking out prices for our tickets to Wild Animal Kingdom. I have never been there, so this will be a special treat. My friends went shopping this morning, and stumbled over a place where there were some different birds, so we are going to go back there to see about getting some photos.

*

It's time for me to leave now. Got things to do, places to go!! Yes, the foot is holding up. Just hollers a bit at me from time to time. But I'm bigger than the foot, so I usually win the argument when it doesn't want to play nice with me. Till my next visit to the computer building, Y'all have a fantastic day.

Another Busy, But Delightful Day

March 2, 2010

*
I know it's late, (5 pm) but I did not get to the computer room till late today. Sorry 'bout that! Last night, it rained quite heavily all though the night, but this morning was just lovely. Today is mostly cloudy and very windy. But that won't scare me, it's so much better than cold and snowy.

I went out today to Walmart. They have a nice big super store here, so that was a nice shopping experience. Only problem was that my foot got very tired and sore rather quickly. I just ignore the foot until it starts screaming at me, then I put it up for a nice long rest.

As promised yesterday, here's a photo of the new tee shirt that I bought for Moo. Gosh, it fits his temperament to a tee!!! Got to keep his reputation alive!!

And this next picture was sent to me by a friend, and I just had to share it. It's just so precious!!

*

Oh gosh! I can't stop giggling every time I look at that poor puppy's face!!

*

Today's post will be short because a couple of the computers aren't working properly, and I am going to let someone else have a turn. I'll post you a freebie before I go in case I can't back tomorrow. It's QP - 013 "Garnet." I hope you like it. Y'all have a grand night now.

Dolly Walks A Lot

March 1, 2010

Did you miss me? Haha. I finally made it to sunny Florida yesterday afternoon. By the time I got to Orlando, and was picked up by the rental car company, signed all my paperwork, got my car (my cast did not make them nervous!!), drove to Kissimmee, did some food shopping, then drove to my condo, unpacked all my stuff from the car and put it all away, it was about 6:20 pm. Phew! Yes'm, I was tuckered out. That was a day's work for me.

Then I proceeded to try out my internet. Oh boy!!! This year I am Dolly Walks A Lot!! The only internet connection is in another building, and has opening and closing hours. It means getting dressed, putting on the walking cast, (no easy feat) and walking a lot to the internet building. Whoop dee do!! No late night or early morning internet for this Dolly. Oh well, I did come here for a vacation, so I guess I should be happy with part time access to the web.

I have no photos to share today, but I will see if I can take some for tomorrow. Today, I did a lot of walking, and my foot is screaming at me.........Get off me!! Get off me!! I went walking around two flea markets today. And yes, I found me some nice goodies to buy. I found the perfect tee shirt for Moo. I'll take a photo of it later and show it to you tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I want to visit the local Walmart store. And maybe go back to the flea market. I love flea markets. I also love the warm temperatures here. This afternoon is in the high 70's. Oh me oh my, I love it!!!

Check out the new Daily Download kit from Magickal Scraps, "Color Me Springtime." I have just put up the new slide show, and I have a preview of the add on kit that goes with it. Don't forget, the add on is only $1.50. Now that's a BARGAIN!!!

That's it for today. I need to go and rest this mad foot!! Y'all have a wonderful day now. Hugs and kisses to Tootsie.
