Starting a new week

The Christmas lights are down at our house. The two Italian families still had their lights on last night. This is a picture of my former co-worker Dick and I with an Indian at the Pow Wow in Orlando at the fairgrounds many years ago. My guess is that my mom probably took the picture. I had noticed before my sister's turkey passed away that there seemed to be similar traits between the Indian dance and head dress and the turkey fluffing up his feathers and dancing just to impress me. The Indians have a slow methodical step to their dance and so does the turkey. The turkey pumps out his feathers and his tail feathers in a similar fashion to the back of the head dress on the Indian in a dance costume like this one in the picture. He swings it from side to side to showcase a slow movement. I have seen this step done in Indian dance. Turkeys seem to be a proud bird and Indians display a proud history through their dance. Today the garbage goes out. Last week we only had one day of garbage pickup. This was due to the Holiday of the New Year. This seems to make extra garbage for us. However, the garbage people are pretty quick about picking up the garbage. I probably will have a load of clothes to hang out to dry. I have plenty of leftovers for lunch. There are two containers of split pea soup and one big container of spaghetti which I made yesterday for dinner. Fifteen days until the Inauguration of the new President. Today, the torch of Orange County Sheriff is pasted from Kevin Berry to Jerry Demings. The ceremony begins at 2p.m. I will probably see highlights on the evening news. Monday does sound like a progressive day.
