My little friend 88 - Iguazu Falls, Argentina Thank you for visting my home page! Please accept my apologies as these pages need a good overhaul - they are a mess! If I stay home for the holidays I may do some work then - but please do look around the messy organization - there are a few good finds in here, and a look at my Cuba, circa late 1940's.
The little guy in the photo came and stood by as I was taking photos and videos of the Garganta del Diablo series of falls at Iguazu. It stood there for a while, as if sharing it's beautiful wings with my camera. I will always treasure my new little buddy ... 88.

No need to log on - just click on the picture and select Slide Show. Please note the first picture takes a few seconds to show up as the rest of the photos are loading! .... Lake Mary page follows
Lake Mary is a quiet little town approximately 20 miles north of Orlando. Across the highway several new office parks have been built, and lately it has not been quite a sleepy as before - there are several hotels and restaurants. Chances are Lake Mary will not be a vacation destination - but it sure is a nice place to come home to after vacation.
Living in Florida means the possibility of hurricanes from June to November. Fortunately the storms seldom come through Orlando, but in 2004 three of them came across - fortunately Ivan skipped us. Ivan was by far the strongest storm and the first time in 24 years since we live in the area that we boarded up the windows.
It is rather strange to call your husband's doctor from Granada and hear that they're closed for the hurricane. When we returned, we found our home just as we left it - just the fence in the backyard got a bit battered.
So ... three hurricanes in one season helped us make up our mind to buy a second home in San Jose (California) - so we are now really nomads and spend a couple of days in San Jose once in a while - but can't part with our Lake Mary home. Did I overlook mentioning we also have grandkids in San Jose? Overall, Lake Mary it's still a pretty sleepy town - but if you need a map and belong to AAA you're in luck - their world headquarters are just around the corner, although they now call the other half of Lake Mary that is west of the highway "Heathrow" . Guess Lake Mary was too much of a sleepy name for corporate headquaters. |
|  | Christmas 2008 - My husband used to say that life was better lived like a rollercoaster - if you had low's, so would you have highs. Here is living proof, after a solemn dissertation about the holidays I receive the most beautiful flowers from my family in California. How can I not be joyful with people around who are so thoughtful!
Many hugs to all for Christmas or for any Holiday you celebrate this season - and don't let the bedbugs bite! |
