With "variety being the spice of life" I must admit that the older I get the less 'variety' I have in life---unless you call visiting 10 doctors variety and I don't, including getting up in the middle of the night for a dentist visit!!--as I find myself following a routine every day BUT even within a routine I vary things a little bit!

I may go to JMarks restaurant (first and seventh pictures) and have the steak each time I go but I do vary the potato! Then on other days I may go to IHOP (pictures 4 & 6) when I want something 'light' and will usually order either the cheeseburger or cheese omelet but this time I ordered off the '55+ menu' and I won't do that again! A half a sandwich and 2 onion rings? No thanks.


I do love the variety of blooming flowers I have in my apartment (second picture) as there are always new blooms every day and I really don't do much except water them once a week and they reward me with colors!


It is THAT time of the year in Florida! We have had a very 'dry' rainy season but was reminded that it is also hurricane season by the yearly handout (third picture) of the "Hurricane and Flood Guide"! September and October are usually when we get hit with a hurricane though we have been lucky for the past decade as the hurricanes have missed us. There is a dangerous sign this season though because one of the names on the new list of hurricanes is Martin!! (PS I ain't evacuating!!)


With that in mind I guess I will just have to eat the box of a dozen cookies (fifth picture) that I ordered for someone else!!
