Life is like a slice of pie sometimes you get a bigger portion or a smaller one


I saw a little lightening outside my window last night before going to bed. I don't know what it is like outside this morning. I know I am feeling pretty good with a warm cup of coffee down me and the cool air from the air conditioner blowing on me. I have checked my e-mail and heard from my two friends. One of the friends had her neighbor pass away and the other is working enough for two maybe three people. They both live incredible lives which I deeply admire.
This picture comes from the island where the New Smyrna Yacht Club is located. This is a private house which shares the island. The Yacht Club is a place where both the local Democratic party and the Republican party have their annual party. The last time the Republicans advertised in the local paper, they were having a buffet. The Democrats were having the same time of menu, they have every year. You got a few choices to pick and they would serve you once you got there. Personally, I would chose the buffet for the variety of food. Speaking of variety, I haven't gone to a Sonny's Barbeque in ages. I have one in Port Orange and one on the way to Daytona on US 1. I see the all you can eat chicken with the garlic bread and think "Oh how good." This stems back in the days when I worked in Orlando and would go to Sonny's and they would have the all you could eat chicken. The all you could eat deal turned out price wise not to be much better than just eating a single portion. I would also say that Sonny's had one of the best t-bone steak dinners, I could eat in a lunch hour.
Two good TV shows I like are "Night Court" and "Becker." The show "Becker" comes on around mid-night, so I would rarely get to see it. The show "Night Court" comes in the morning, so I see more of it. Both have the raw humor which I consider a good laugh. I wish I could get them around dinner time back to back. This would make for some good TV watching.

    Big house in picture that reminds me of a couple in Ft. Lauderdale. They were very active in the group Widows and Widowers. They invited me to their house for a party that they were having on the fourth of July. They said that they wanted me to see the fireworks that they were going to set off in front of their house. I got there and the house was huge but had just a cubic block design. Not fancy like the one in the picture. The four car garage located about 100 feet from the house had an apartment on the second level. The house inside was all luxury and the swimming pool with the huge fan fountain at one end spraying water into the air and the large lions head spewing water from its mouth into the pool. You get the picture. The party was very nice. Once it was dark, it was time for the fireworks display. It was very nice and it must have gone on for almost an hour. They set off an awful lot of fireworks. I was standing in the driveway with the woman who owned the house and a man who was a guest at the party. The man commented to the woman that her house was quite large and he asked her how big her central air conditioning unit was. She said, "Which one. There are three of them". The look of surprise on the mans face was one of being stunned. I think that I had the same expression. Three central air conditioning units in one house! Now that is a big house. I wonder how many central air conditioning units the house in the picture has. Stay dry today. According to the weatherman the rains a-comin.
