Today we meet again with Mary Ann and Steve, always a great time with the Candi Lane neighbors. We figured we were within a half hour of their place. Well we left 45 minutes before we were to meet and we were still late. It turns out the map we look at does not show the stop lights and all the old people meandering down the road. Once we got there we talked about what had transpired since four weeks ago. Time to go to The Villages for lunch at Toojays Deli where we ate with them last time at noon. I loved the corned beef sandwich so much I wanted another with a matzo ball soup, as I did. Shirleen her bowl of French onion soup; Mary Ann had chicken noodle soup and Steve a naked turkey sandwich which he shared with Mary Ann. We went back to the house for a nice chat and it was three and time for us to go. It was a straight shot to Perry. A lot of the miles were thru tree lined highways. The wind was strong and the humidity and temp hi, 96 degrees, but it became cooler 82 but did not loose the humidity. Storms are on the horizon but we saw none, hope they go thru when we are sleeping and have clear sailing to Tallahassee and the night around Panama City
No dinner tonight, they had Hors d’oeuvres and wine or beer at the hotel and that’s all it took.
A follow-up to the posting about the overtaking of the world by the mangroves. I thought back and reflected on the beauty of orchids. People cannot resist buying them and bringing them into their homes because of this beauty. I suspect that they are poised to gently pull their roots from the bark substrate they are planted in during the dead of the night and walk to your bedroom and squeeze their roots around the pretty necks lying in their beds! See how sneaky plants can be? Well that leaves me out; I don’t have a pretty neck. More to come.
