I finally found the plans for the hotel that will be taking up the empty lots in my direct view. The plans weren’t actually finalized until January of 2021. Originally the plans were for a three story hotel, a two story conference/wedding center and a two story covered garage was being built at the end of the block. I would loose my entire view from my living room. I’d still have water on the canal to the left but the…
I just finished working out. I’m back on my chair gazing out my windows looking at the sparkling water. I sometimes envy those people on the boats. Especially the ones I see coming fast in the open water before they have to slow down for the channel. I remember vividly how that breeze feels as you fly across the water even though it’s been ages since I’ve been on that type of boat. I also remember vividly how it feels…
Do puppies have a terrible two? If they’re seven years to our one year, does that mean around three months that’s where these terrible two’s would start? Minxs was a pain in the ass yesterday. My daughter had a friend over, the dogs were super excited. As we were making our way to bedtime, they both got all riled up. Eventually Zoey settle down, Minx did not. I tried everything to calm him down, it wasn’t happening. I finally had…
My mood has been dark lately. I miss my dog. I feel alone. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. I received an email yesterday, which was actually my sister’s newsletter. It was entitled Attitude and Gratitude. At the top of the email it actually said thanks Jamie. Truthfully when I first saw it I really thought she personalized it just for me. I honestly thought that even though it was her newsletter, for her business, that the subject matter…
Ok I know I’ve been grieving for the last week but you’d think I’d notice bulldozers flattening land outside my window. The whole lot where the hotel is supposedly being built has been leveled. Last I heard the deal fell through although for a property that sold for 3.9 million dollars I wasn’t holding my breath that it would remain a pile of dirt. Yet when did they do this work? I’m staring out this window all day, everyday. I’m…
There are a few boats out on the water this morning. It is a still a little chilly but the sun is out. It looks beautiful. I opened windows to let the fresh air in. I just love this!!!! The pictures never do it justice. They never capture the sparkling effect the sun has on the water that I find just mesmerizing. This was better but still doesn’t do it justice. Saturday mornings are my favorite especially when the sun…
I’m distracted today. I’m watching the sun shine and twinkle off the water. There is even a boat. It is my favorite thing to look at. I know I’ve said this so many times but I just can never get enough of the sight. I can get lost in my view. I love everything about where I live. There has been NO construction on the corner site. Will there be? I’m sure. The land was purchased for close to 4…
Thanksgiving is here again. It’s time for family traditions of certain dishes made once a year with an extremely large turkey that is never eaten and always consumed for at least three days after today. My family all contribute a dish. I always make my carrot soufflé which I’ve learned to make for every single diet I am following. https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/03/16/carrot-souffle-vegan-or-non-vegan/. My mom makes a corn soufflé and the stuffing. My sister makes the soup and sometimes brings a vegetable. We…
We played trivia pursuit in the condo club yesterday and I’m happy to report I actually knew some answers. For once I helped my team. We didn’t win because we didn’t finish the game but we were in second place. I was proud. That is not an easy game especially the original edition. They are officially doing work on the empty lot for that hotel. I still can’t find any new plans since the one from 2015 but work has…
There isn’t a wind blowing outside which makes the water completely still. This is one of my favorite views. I could easily capture this in a photo because the water isn’t moving in a picture. Now imagine that in person, just complete stillness. There isn’t a boat, a ripple or a current disturbing the top of the water. I have a thing for the quietness of mornings like this. When my dogs aren’t barking, no one is in my house…
