Weekend Getaway

We just returned from a weekend in Orlando to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. How things have changed there during the past 4 decades! We were in Orlando for a couple of days on our honeymoon, pre-Disney days. Our motel then cost only - are you ready for this? - $12 a night. But it's good to remember that wages were also low back then. Dan's pay was only $75 a week. Puts things in perspective a little better.
We decided to go to the dinner show Arabian Nights, about which we had heard very good things. No matter where you are seated you have a good view of the show. The dinner was very good and the servers friendly and attentive. The horses are beautiful and the show appealing to all ages. You should go.
Our travels have brought us back to our little corner of paradise, and it's good to be home.
Papa 'n' Mimi

Congratulations on your anniversary! What a blessing!

Oh my, the photo of your garden is breathtaking. Love the path. Paths always make a garden magical don't they? I plan to clear a small natural path through our woods tomorrow. I have a spot that just "needs" a path!

Smiles,

Meet Papa and Mimi

Thank you for visiting our blog. Hope you'll come back often and we can get to know one another through the magic of cyberspace.

I never dreamed that in my lifetime this kind of communication would come about. When I was in middle school, I thought the transistor radio was a miracle of science as I listened to the broadcast of the first manned space flight on my way to school.

I'm loving this blogging and look forward to the new people I will "meet" through it. Better than a transistor radio...
