GOOD COLD MORNING TO ALL!
It was about 36 degrees here in the Orlando area this morning when I got up to put Dinah and Molly out for a pee. It sounds as if it's cold right across the country in the southern parts. This must be the two-day winter for FL! I notice it was 9 below zero back home earlier, so not warm up north, either.
I'd like one o those elecric fire places to sit in front of today----a perfect temperature for that! Best of all, I would like one day in front of a REAL fireplace----notice I said ONE day, and not 3-4 months of winter weather!
The kids and I had a great time at Sea World's Bands, Brew, and BBQue last night! And Alice was so right on----I knew every song Foreigner sang! I just never knew the name of the band! The lead singer I know I have met somewhere along the line back in the day. The food was great, the samples of beer (you can buy a punch card with 12 numbers on it to get 4-5 ounce samples of various beers for 25 bucks, if you so choose) were delicious and interesting to try. Melissa bought two cards which we shared throughout the evening. I have a card with two unpunched holes for next time. The people were all well-behaved, the hosts were kind and interesting to talk to, and all-in-all, we all had a great time! After there, we took a trolley (cost for me was 25 cents, as an "elderly" patron!) instead of a cab to the Orena Grill and Bar, not too far from Sea World, and close to home. The Orena has been the haunt of my son since he first moved down here at the age of 18, years ago. The owner knows him, and now, Melissa, like a son and daughter. We played some games of pool there, and some bowling on machines, solved the problems of the world, and heard of the death of Whitney Houston. Although I never liked Houston's voice or songs, she was obviously well-loved in the music world. RIP Whitney.
After cabbing it back home here, we had some chili that I had made and hit the hay. It was a very fun night, and we will do it again before the event runs ists course----will go through sometime in March, including Kenny Rogers.
I will take a day of rest and recovery today, as the kids have returned home to get some work done back there. The furnace is humming and the house is comfy and warm. My new TV which I got on sale at WalMart, on my WalMart card with no interest for 12 months, is set up and ready to entertain me. My tax refund will pay for it in no time at all. Sure is nice to be able to see the picture now on something bigger than either my 5 inch screen, or my larger 15 inch screen!
Happy Sunday to all!
