Circus!

When in Sarasota (home of the Ringling Bros Museum) going to the Circus is a must. This Russian strongman was amazing....
The dog act always entertaining...
Dolly Jacobs floats through the air and is ageless...
And the Flying Wallendas' on the high-wire are as thrilling as ever.  First one is Nic Wallenda who walked across Niagara Falls last summer.
Wish I could have taken a better photo, but I was covering my eyes - riding the bicycles across the wire while the girl stands up in chair is scary. (Or doing the splits way up there - 280 ft. What are they thinking?)

St Armand's Art Show - Jan 2013

Again another marvelous art show. Check out this horse billed as an untouched photo.....

This colorful horse is all embordriery! 
Sorry about the sun dapples. He says it takes about 6 weeks and sells for $12,000. Done from a pattern...

Still with the animal theme, these were popular...
The ones selling were the dogs in a martini glass..... only in Florida! And isn't that just the saddest Brittany Spaniel?

Really, J2, you could do this - its about 3' x 5' - large.
Many steel welded animals too.

And a favorite boat artist....
Love his boat paintings, they are so peaceful.

Lizz's Scholarship Award

Lizz and I attended a luncheon today sponsored by a local Teachers Association. Lizz was awarded a scholarship for an essay she wrote about her desire to be a teacher. Way to go Lizz! (Sorry the photo is a little blurry.)

Added page - Food

I've added a Food page! Watch for favorite recipes and healthy meal ideas.
 This was one of Mom's favorite Birthday Cakes, how she loved her sweets!
Great memories but I'm focusing on healthy foods now. My go-to quick meal is a Chicken Sausage with Peppers and Kale on the new Food page.

All Ready for Christmas...
Love the entrance to my living room where you can see all three lit trees - charming.

Bay another day

So warm here for December...
The weather has just been beautiful!
 
Lots of Christmas too though it looks a little awkward in this unusual heat. Boat Parades, Santa Parades, tree lighting's, all in the Christmas spirit.

Sarasota Jazz Project

At the Farmers Market today the Sarasota Jazz Project played. They are so good and I just love the Big Band sound. Several are local school music teachers and others are retired professionals.
