the slaves of the ordinary.

Porte Ponderings:
Staying so close to a small airport you often look up and see unique airplanes flying overhead. This small plane looks like a toy in the picture, but I can assure you it was a full sized plane overhead. 😉
Gliders are often towed up and let go to find their way back to the airport.
On my 60th birthday I took a ride in an ultra-light and loved every moment of it.

Blue birds are another snow bird that winters over in Florida.
With white bellies’ orange highlights; a blue back, head and tails they are quite distinctive.

Porte Ponderings:
Boat-tailed grackles are interesting mimics. They like to mimic sirens, bells and whistles. Often seen in huge groups swooping around open spaces or individuals calling to each other. I think these birds were probably the inspiration for Alfred Hitchock’s famous movie “The Birds”.

Porte Ponderings:
So far so good with the New Year’s Resolutions.
Pot Lucks in Florida are always a challenge.
So I’m going to tackle them the same way you would a buffet. Look over the entire spread and choose ahead of time what to splurge on and what to avoid. Fresh food vs processed. Make a small plate the same as you would at home. Limit myself to 1 dessert, and a small portion at that. The day of eat smaller portions throughout the day.
The day after get back on track. Don’t slack off on the exercise or be disappointed if you overdid it.

Rickie does like to smile for the camera. At almost 15 he keeps smiling and loves to go for walks. He seems to be missing Maddie, but he is enjoying reaqainting with his Florida friends.
Monday I joined the exercise group here at Sleepy Hollow. It was a lot more than I thought it would be, I ended up sitting for an hour afterward trying to re-couperate.
Tuesday I joined the local TOPS group and attended the meeting. It was good to re-new aquaintances and see everyone at the meeting.
