Not to be out-done

  Memorable Automobiles from The Past:

Evelyn knows I love old cars, she called us once to see some on New Hope Road near Belmont.

For Today...

Our friend Don comes to Florida every winter (most times he brings flowers, sometimes he brings Evelyn, his wife). BUT every year he does bring plants of some kind.

This year I decided not to be out done, I would bring my wife AND A PLANT! I SEARCHED FOR THE PROPER VASE. After getting the vase at much expense I transferred my latest trial at killing plants.  I have been very good at that in the past, I just hope it doesn’t continue.

I chose an unbreakable vase due to its riding in the coach.

Our home at Thousand Trails Orlando

In just over a week, if I can keep these plants alive that long, I might get some professional advice from Don.  We are supposed to be in the same RV Park then.

This is the entry to Don/Eve's front porch, the porch has rockers and a swing

(This is just a sample of the flowering around their house, that is their RV out in the field, Don has hookups out there.)

Evelyn and Don are good friends and have a beautiful country home in our area of North Carolina. Like Sherry, they are life time residents of the Belmont area and attended the same schools as Sherry. I was in the same school for a year myself, before I became the only drop out of the group.

Don is amazing, with flora and fauna. He has his own large pond and 'raises cane' and stuff, he even ‘found’ marijuana on their land once. The dude has a green thumb. He even trains his butterflies. I remember Rick, of Alabama, could get butterflies to ‘pose’ for him. Don can do the same.

Does that make your nose itch?

Anyway, this year we have our own plant! no butterflies ;-)
