Return to New Smyrna Beach
Mom and I are back home from our trip to my sister's place. I took a lot of pictures of the two youngest horses Velvet and Gator. We dined on turkey breast, organic stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy and two types of pies. One was a pumpkin pie and the other was a key lime pie. The key lime pie was really tasty, so mom made another one before we left to go home to New Smyrna Beach. There were trees with colors of red and gold waving in the breeze. The sunlight would dance sparkles on the trees. Some of these verbal descriptions shows up on some of the pictures I took for my sister Glendon. I got to burn some house garbage early in the morning. Glendon has a burn barrel which makes it fairly safe. We do keep a close eye to make sure everything stays within acceptable levels. Glendon took mom and I into Gainesville to watch the Gator fans pile into the Ben Griffin Stadium. Some of the fans had big orange cowboy hats. These hats were way over sized. In some places near the stadium, I saw a sea of blue tee shirts. There were big commercial size grills going with probably cooked ribs and hamburgers. The smells floating into the car were so overwhelming. If there were a spot to pull over, it would have been a great temptation to pull over. Fortunately, I was spared the task of tasting cooked ribs and hamburgers grilled in the great Gainesville outdoors. Plus dozens of fans probably drinking beer to wash down the food before the game . My sister Glendon, my mom and I went home to bean soup and leftover turkey. The Gators won the game against the Noles 37 to 10. Tim Tebow the star quarterback took his final victory lap and has only two more games before leaving the Gator's football team. I wish I could described the feel of the oak tree, the sound of the wind and the glimmering light on the leaves. However, it may be locked up in the pictures I took or the mood that I feel. Memories are a great thing to recall.

Welcome back to the "world of blog". It is always good to get back home and relax. The gators vs the noles. Do you know who the most famous quarterback of the Seminoles was? A clue - the most famous. Answer tomorrow. But wait, one more clue - he was married to Loni Anderson. That's right, you guessed Burt Reynolds and you are right. Burt Reynolds went to FSU and was a quarteback for the Seminoles. A bit of trivia for Jeopardy. If they ever ask "The most famous quarteback of FSU" you can excitedly shout "I know, I know" and then call out the answer. Actually, since it is Jeopardy it would have to be a question, Who is Burt Reynolds? Welcome back and enjoy the left-over turkey. Lew

O agree that memories are a great thing to recall. They allow us to escape the present world by retreating into the past. To the good times as a child when life was carefree and all we had to do was to play and have fun. Dad had to pay the bills, buy the food and put gas car into the car. All that I had to do was to go on wondrous adventures through the golden fields, through the apple orchards with all thos bright red sweet apples hanging on the limbs within easy reach. And let's not forget the trips of exploration through the woods with all of the beauty of the woods. Remembering these events is like reliving them. Very pleasant. Tomorrow is suppose to be warm so sit back with a glass of ice tea a slice of key lime pie and remember the good times. Lew
