"Change of Direction..."





Floral Displays





I'm going to share something about myself that I bet most of you don't know.  As a matter of fact, no one may know... I love flowers... everything about flowers.

I subscribe to several magazines that specialize in floral displays, arrangements, and layouts of flower beds...

I was researching a possible trip to the Florida Keys, I ran across a magazine that has the results of a recent floral contest that was held in the Sunshine State.  This contest focused on Best Balcony Display.


I would like to share those results with you...

The Third Place Award went to a
Mrs. Doris Loftus, from Orlando, Florida...

Beautiful... aren't they?


2nd Place Prize went to
Ester Cohen, from Naples, Florida


And the Grand Prize Winner...
Gary and Sharon Leiberman,
from Fort Myers...



OK...  OK... OK...

Maybe  I was fucking with you a bit...

  4. I knew that you were a well-rounded person with many interests, but I was skeptical. I could actually see you being interested in growing a garden for food. And even having a garden for your own pleasure was dubious, but possible. But magazines to look at other people's gardens... I was having trouble with that one.

    For instance, late in life my brother took up gardening. He now has an awesome flower garden in front of his house every year. Me? Not so much. I am interested in learning to keep up one for veggies, though. If I can keep the bushes alive... I am good.

    BTW, you are very naughty. Which is par for the course.

    1. HAR!!!

      Me? Naughty?? Probably, by some standards... by the standards of others, Hell, I'm just a rube...

      I would hate to think that I let you, or anyone else down, for that matter, Robin!!

      Actually, I do like flowers quite a bit...

      I hope all is well for you!!!
