OUTING!

Nah…folks you got the wrong one…I am already out about being a…. hetero! LOL! Not that there is anything wrong with the other possibility.
Hubby and I left the compound today together! YES, you heard that right, I went out too into my small unique world encompassing a five mile radius.
We found out that we were definitely having a worthwhile to investigate festive goings on at our event’s center down the road a piece over the bridge in River City AKA Punta Gorda, less than three miles from the homestead. And it is a yearly happening for the last ten that I haven’t yet missed and it is called ‘Artsensation’, and it is just as it says!
The Arts and Humanities council runs the thing with financial support from local businesses.
The venue has changed over the years from ball parks and fair grounds to colleges to Fishville.
But this years choice was a very wise one and indoors; for although our weather at this time of the year is mostly predictable we occasionally will have a sudden cold snap or a heat wave!
I must admit though this day was nearly perfection except for the wee bit of wind.
Clear cobalt blue skies with low humidity and a very decent breeze.
Ah Florida… to all our friends up north, remember we are here for you when you can’t take it anymore.

The actual sights to see were art work of every dimension imaginable, ceramics, paintings of water colors, acrylics, sculptures, books, news publications and magazines, music from instruments of all kinds including voices of adults and children’s bands and choirs, and dance performances too.
So lovely and quite a rewarding experience, but sadly it is only for six hours once a year!

After we left the fun and pleasantries that we held with joy in our hearts we decided to catch a late lunch at a Tai restaurant we had been to once before that was on the way home. Unfortunately, when Hubby checked to see if they were open since usually it’s hard to find a parking space there but today there were barely any cars and so he got out first to check and there was a sign on the door stating that there had been a death in the family so they were closed.
Oh we felt bad for the family and felt bad for us since they have very good food.
So our plans had to change up, and so we thought perhaps the Cultural Center, less than two miles from our home, might have something going on there, and so we went there next, since they also have a restaurant kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Hubby did a reconnaissance once again and nothing was going on and the menu did not have anything he wanted or was interested in, it is changed often.
So upward and onward…
Hubby thought maybe a pizza chain that offers a Bistro might be to both our likings and we had not been there since they rebuilt after the hurricane six years ago.
Hubby again went in to check and he came out saying that we had more in our produce bin in our frig than they had on their salad bar!
And so we moved on once again.

Next we tried the Chinese buffet across from the pizza chain and we both realized that we could get more what we wanted at another buffet with worldwide choices a few more miles up the road!
And so that is where we finally ate our very late for us lunch!
Boy, does that sound indecisive or what?
Nah, we just have so many choices in such a small area which actually is great!
We have every nationality selection that you can think of from Indian to Japanese to Tai to Chinese and Seafood and delis and Cuban just you name it… I bet we have it and we are not that big a city! Actually, where we are, is not even a city; it’s unincorporated, as they say down here in Florida, a non-city.

On that little more interesting note of us having a better day I will leave you all with asking you for you all to have a very happy night and to count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?

PS Fall back tonight remember peeps!

Which way will the war go?
