Stop me if you've seen these before!

Lets take a little excursion back in time shall we? Can you guess the year the five photos below were taken?

Here's your first hint; It's right in front of you!

 

 

 OK, what year were these two photos taken?

Here's your second hint, You might have to "hunt" for the answer.

 

I know, I have the upper hand in this case. But that's the fun of being in charge of the Blog!

 And for the record, Jim and Judy are back! Jack is due in next week. It's finally here!

 

The "Snowbirds" are returning!

Look and empty nest.....

Getting Ready for the "wave!"

It's October and suddenly there's a change in the air. (Well, at least for a couple of days!) I actually put on a sweater for Lilly's walk this morning.... and it feels terrific. I can also hear the grumbling from up north as the "snowbirds" begin their annual migration south. Packing, planning and making the house ready for the winter. What's the weather going to be next week? That's all the fun of heading south. Ahhhh, but its all worth it when you feel the warmth of the sun and all the cleaning you have to do to your rig once you get here!

All of you up north may have heard all about the construction, the new homes/communities being built, etc. But, seeing it is another story. Take our last community, Citrus Highlands for one. Eighty-two new single family homes and they're all sold. Most homes are occupied currently and you can imagine the changes to the community. To put it mildly, we got out just in time! Kids coming and going to school and playing just about everywhere. Cars? You can figure two per home, a motorcycle and/or golf cart, you can imagine what's happened to the once quiet street we lived on. And, yes, there are all kinds of issues popping up! The new section (Phase two) is NOT a golf cart community and they are not allowed on our street. Lots of fast driving in and out of the community! It's sad to say the least.

Here's something you may have already heard about! Guess who's coming to Rt. 192?

 

DownTown Disney is now Officially known as Disney Springs! Since you've been away you will not believe the changes that have taken place. The photos below are from the new parking garage.

The first photo looking toward the second new parking garage. Planet Hollywood is to be re-imagined soon.

The photo taken from the 4th floor of the parking garage is looking toward the new Disney Bus lot and the second parking lot (1/2 the size of the first one). You also get a glimpse of the latest Disney Springs large buildings well under construction.

It appears there will only be three entrances to Disney Springs. The main one below across the street from Team Disney. One at the entrance to the second parking garage and the West Side by Cirque.

They recently opened the main pedestrian overhead walkway also at the entrance to Team Disney. The other one at Market Place will be opening very soon.

The parking garages are pretty good. They have green lights above any open parking spaces on each floor with an a digital read out telling how many spaces are in a row. They have elevators and escalators. Enjoy!

 

I just had to include a Flippers "My Pie" for those of you hankering for your "Flippers fix!"

 

It won't be long now! Sun setting lower in the southern sky, temperatures edging (painfully slowly) downward and "snowbirds" packing up to head south!

 

The only thing we need now are the holidays!

 

 

Wait a minute..........

 

I walked into Walmart the other day and went from 98' and brutal humidity to this......

 

Can we slow down just a bit!!!!
