The first big news I have to share with you is that having appealed to Blogger to reinstate the blog they took off line, it has been done!!!! Should you wish to see the beginning of this winter in Titusville plus the last entry,#9, that got me extinguished, you can now go to www.winter2015titusville.blogspot.com and see for yourself what was so out there........
At the Titusville Quilt Show I spoke with a man who was offering classes at his bead store on Merritt Island. I told him I wanted to learn how to use wind silver wire. After a few phone calls I was able to speak to the instructor and we arranged for a day that I was in Cocoa at The Kitchen. She suggested that we met for lunch before the class and this is where we went. Again, a wonderful find. Very authentic in decor, music and the sushi was awesome!!!
These are my first attempts at silver wire winding. My instructor Carol was very accommodating as she learnt what I wanted to learn and try. She did not try to keep me in a box which is always a good move with me!!! The class lasted as long as I wanted it to. She only takes one or two students at a time. We spent two hours together and plan on another class next week to learn some new moves. Naturally we will meet for lunch first!!! As I always say, "Life is all about food and money."
Tastes of Titusville was held last week at the Searstown Mall. I thought we should go early before people got off of work so we headed over just after 5 when it opened. Well, what a shock!!! This huge parking lot was jammed full of cars!!! There was no where to park!!! The tickets were $16 a head of time or $22 at the door. Next year we will buy a head of time. As we entered the mall we couldn't believe the number of people inside. It was packed!!! You went from booth to booth eating samples. So it went like this, little chicken, cupcake, margarita, chili, piece of chocolate, pizza, stir fry, cake etc. etc. We were stuffed after about an hour and walked past quite a few vendors on our way out.
The team above are from Walkabout a golf course in Mims just north of Titusville. It is an excellent place to eat. Ray golfs there with The Relative. I eat there. They were offering a lightly seared tuna with a delightful wee salad with a salsa topping. Should you be looking for a new restaurant experience please try Walkabout. You will be glad you did.
The guy here thought I was taking his picture, he was striking a pose no less!!! so I explained I was taking his sign instead. Skeeter's was serving Gator Sausage!!! Sorry too full maybe next time!!!
Not only was the mall full but this large tent was also full of vendors.
Ok, this is our beach at Playalinda. Can you imagine that last time we went to the beach someone sat in front of us!?!?!?!?! I couldn't believe it!!!
This is my new tactic. Want to sit in front of me? You're going to get wet!!!!!!!
This is the official name of the Troll Restaurant as The Relative calls it because it is under the bridge beside our places. Friday and Saturday nights we can hear the live music. Sometimes that is a treat and sometimes, not such a treat.
This excellent solo artist was there last time we walked over. Our plan was to sit and listen to him when we were finished eating dinner but alas he was packing up. He will be back on Wednesday, March 25th from 5-8.
About 30 minutes north of us is the little town of Oak Hill. They have a farmer's market every Saturday. We just learnt also on Sunday. Sunday being the "best" day. I have found some real treasures here. Last Saturday was a wooden coke bottle tray. Emsdale Farmer's Market every Friday from 10-2 will give you the opportunity to make it yours!!!!
I didn't care what this guy was selling. When I saw him, I just knew I wanted to take his picture so I bought 5 tomatoes for $3 and then took this wonderful picture!!!!
Yesterday was the last day of the Daytona Bike Week. All week we saw bikes everywhere around here and lots of signs welcoming bikes and biker only parking. There were bikes for sale everywhere where you have never seen bikes before!!! The bikers bring in approximately 34 million a year during Bike Week. Welome Bikers!!!
I'm not sure who had the great idea to take the sailing school out into the middle of the Intercoastal Waterway to learn how to turn and pass and race but yesterday this was the game in town. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this boat with the two sails trying to come north and these fools racing back and forth in front of it!!!!
Whew, they are almost safe!!!!!!!! I can just imagine how blue the air must have been on board.
Oh, my it must be time to stop buying!!! There is no more room in the closet and now this corner of the breakfast room is full too. Good thing we are heading home two weeks from tomorrow!!!!
The Story of the White Apron - In December I was rooting around in my linen closet looking for something when I suddenly saw this apron. I honestly do not know where it came from. I picked it up and told Ray I was taking it to Florida. "Why??" he asked. "I have no idea but I just know I have to take it." and this is the apron I have worn at The Kitchen every Tuesday and Thursday mornings since the beginning of January. So, when you hear that small voice telling you something, listen and follow!!! You just never know..........
