It
seems as soon as you are diagnosed with an illness, though you have
never heard about it before, all of a sudden everyone has had it or
knows someone who had it!!!  I was at my podiatrist on Tuesday and
diagnosed the pain in the heel of my foot as plantar  faciitis.  He gave
me a shot of cortisone, told me to ice the foot 3-4 times a day, roll
the bottom of the foot on a ball--since I don't have a tennis ball Allen
suggested a can of vegetables--and lose weight--WELL!! In any case here
is some more about it just in case! https://tinyurl.com/m4vnd

Comes this Tuesday I will be going to the opening of the touring company of "Come Fly Away" in Miami at the Arsht Center .

This guy keeps following me --I may have to report him as a stalker unless you want to take him off my hands!

Sometimes
restaurants spend more imagination decorating their bathrooms than
their dining rooms--this is certainly more entertaining than all of
Morton's!

I
have been on a no sweet diet since March 1 and have been doing very
good. Part of my motivation--and it works for me--is the carrot cake
Maria sent me for my birthday. It is in the freezer and as soon as I hit
a certain goal out it comes. As illnesses come out of the closet as
soon as you say you have one it seems people have to give you cakes when
you are on a diet! Today I put the Tres Leche Chocolate Grande cake in
the freezer next to the carrot cake but the latter will be eaten first! I
hope they don't merge!!!

It
is no secret taht I am an admirer of Mother Nature and now she has
presented me with another mystery. This bush/tree is growing near the
elevator where the white Bird of Paradise tree/bush is. I have no idea
what it is if that green 'bulb' is a fruit or will it burst out into a
flower--anybody have an idea what it is?

This
is one of my favortie trees on the Gateway property. It is loaded with
bright red flowers which change colors and is about 4 stories high. It
is part of the rainbow of colors that Mother Nature surrounds South
Florida with.

Got a smile out of Allen!!!
