FETC

I drove down to Orlando today to present with my friend and colleague Steve Dembo. Our presentation went well I think, especially for our first time presenting this session, and first time presenting together.
After our presentation, the team had an "eating meeting" at Cafe Tu Tu Tango. I love that restaurant.

No Evil

I love these little owls who see, hear, nor speak no evil. I probably should have bought them, but I'm trying to resist.

Oldest Wood Schoolhouse

St. Augustine loves being old. Yesterday, we saw the oldest wood schoolhouse from the outside. It was/is wrapped in a chain and attached to an anchor to protect it from hurricanes. No, I'm not kidding.

A Little History

We spent the day trolleying around St. Augustine. We went to the Fountain of Youth. It was mostly disappointing, but we did find a replacement letter opener sword for mysweetwilliam. We explored a number of historical sites including the Castillo de San Marcos. This fort is over 350 years years old. While there, we got an annual National Parks' pass. We're ready for our summer out west now.

Angry Bird

We went flea marketing with Jim and Bette Murray today. I love the new animal hats, and the angry bird almost came home with me. I decided an angry bird picture would suffice. That's my angry face!

We also spent quite a bit of time hanging out in their neighborhood. I think I should move to a retirement community sometimes. The folks there do all the things I like to do.

For dinner, we headed into town and ate at Hooked on Harry's. Yum!

KD8RNN

It's official! I am a licensed amateur radio operator now. Bill's grandpa Dring was a major ham operator, so the ranch is full of ham equipment. Bill took his test in April, and I took mine last week. Today I got my call sign: Kilo Delta 8 Romeo November November. Interestingly enough, my Romeo was born in November.

See, charmed life again. I'm a lucky girl. I can't wait to make my first contact!

Big Barker

This little fella has barked without ceasing since about dawn. Poor buddy needs his people.

Harlem, GA

On Friday, we made the trio to Wrens, GA for the graveside service for my 93 year old great aunt, Lucy. On the way, we drove through the birthplace of Oliver Hardy 120 years ago tomorrow.
There were quite a few murals in Harlem of Laurel and Hardy. I had to get a pic of this one on the side of the flower shop.
