JFK SHOT 50 YEARS AGO

Where were you yesterday. It was the fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination.

Just think how many citizens of the USA were not even born  yet to some of us it seems like yesterday.

Wonder what really happened and why. I have read books, and I have watched the Oliver Stone movie with mild interest. Bottom line I just don't know. Do you? 

OLD GUY HIT 70

Exactly 70 years ago today the now "Old Guy" landed here on planet Earth. Today is a day for him to celebrate.

Imagine the things that have been seen in his life time, and yours too.  

Well we wish the best to our blog producer on his special day. We salute him.

GOOD GOD: THEY ARE OFF YET ON ANOTHER TRIP

Helping out once in a while is OK but this seems like it is getting to be a regular  job for this trusty neighbor.

"They" are always going up to Orlando, but this time it is Paradise Island. She said it is "only" for a few days. The left yesterday.

Enjoy it Boss.

NEW GATE LOOKS GOOD

Earlier we posted two pictures that refused to be accepted in this blog program. They were of the new gate at the South end of our property. It was stated these gaters were ahead of schedule and the planning was over.

We asked Scott Brooks if he could comment on the Gate. Mr Brooks has always been responsive to us and that was true once again. He told us that:  Our transition committee looked at the plans and was pleasantly surprised.  Further they stated the gate plan exceeded their expectations.

That sounds like good news.

We are going to try and re-post the picture  but this time they will be below. If it doesn't appear on the screen we apologize in advance.

VETERANS DAY SALUTE AT TOWN CENTER

A salute to our Veterans was made today at Town Center.

We started off with an honor guard from the Collier County Sheriff's office. They were in sync. Perfect.

Around the room were displays and pictures of our numerous veterans. The wife had a picture of her Dad displayed, and a story of his "30 days" on a lifeboat during WW II. 

They were followed by our VeronaWalk Chorus singing the songs for each branch of the military.

We hope you enjoy some of the pictures we had the opportunity to take during this wonderful program.
