at the risk of being redundent,here is the house in the midst of discussion
about a state bill on abortion. It is quite controversial, and will probably
take a lot of this kind of talk to get it either passed, or defeated. But the
point is, look at the floor, the seats are virtually empty! That's how our
lawmakers get the knowledge they need to make laws controlling our lives!

This is a picture taken qa few minutes after the one below. They are arguing the bill
to allow firearms to be brought to work in their car withot breaking any laws,or losing their job. In my opinion, another step backwards to a vigilante state.

This is a shot of the house watching one of their members woo and marry another
member. The hose is virtally full!

 

Spring is arriving in Tallahassee. It's quite different from Detroit, or North Palm Beach.So....I will try to post a few pictures to show it off. Below is a view from the back of our house showing a beautiful bloom of Azaleas, and on of the front of our house showing a tulip bush in bloom I almost ripped it out when we moved in, I thought it was dead! I had forgotten how bare the stuff could look in it's hibernation period. Hopefully I'll post some more soon. The dogwood trees are in bloom but I haven't found just the right on for a picture yet.

We've been visiting our daughter, Deborah, in Tallahassee for 24 years, but always
on a week end. I always wanted to see the legislature in action. Well we finally moved here last Dec., and now I can attend sessions during the week.
My first try was last week. When I arrived for the afternoon session, I fond
that the session had adjourned so the representatives could attend committee meetings.
Well today, I finally saw my first sessions. They looked just as I expected,lots of milling around until a vote was called. Then everyone scurried Baok to their desk,
and Cast their vote by computer..
Of course, I did not know what the blls were about, but rest assured,
I will in the future.
The pictures below show the floor as it appears when evyone is milling
around until they vote.
I'll catch on!!

Rebuilt Patio

The following pictures are what made the last week, and today, BUSY!
The trip to Havana was a pleasamt imterlude, and satisfied Marge's
curiosity about Klondike's former home. The work on the patio is minor,
but I look forward to a pleasnt summer that will include drinks and grilled
hamburgers on the outside. More to come.

replacing an air compressor on the 2 year old heat unit
that quit working, it's nice to be a renter!

the drain that caused extra work

The hole for the drain that no one knew about!

Unseen drain becomes a minor problem.

digging for the patio addition

Marge has been after me to take her to Havana Fl. since we got Klondike, the wonder dog. He's wearing 5 rabies medals from Havana, and she wanted to see
his former home town. Then she found out from Deb, our daughter, that the town is an antque mecca, well for sure we had to go. The dog loved it!

Marge in 7th heaven, an antique store!

Main Street, Havana Fl.

A nouther picture of our dog. He's really got into our hearts. It seems that he is
now ruling our lives! Today he is getting his teeth cleaned! And we are waiting for his return! He's slowly learning to mind me, I hope, but I always have to have
a treat in my pocket, or he just ignores me. I hope it gets better. Well now I have to go get him home from the Vet, dentist, and hope he is not too traumatized
from his trip to the vet!

Yesterday, Feb. 2, we took a liesurly ride through the rural area of our new home. We went to Panacea on the Gulf Coast. It was good to see water again!
We stopped at Panacea on the Gulf Coast We had lunch at Angelo's restaurant. It has a well deserved 5 star rating, and an interesting history, {look it up}. We will be taking more of these short trips, and will publish more picures soon.
