WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS,MEN AREN'T FROM MARS

SIXTH HOLE= NOT THE BRONX

                          AT LEAST MY HUSBAND IS NOT FROM MARS.  HE'S FROM PLUTO OR PERHAPS URANUS.    I SPENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BUYING A CLASSY TOWNHOUSE ON THE SIXTH GREEN OF A COUNTRY CLUB WITH SPECTACULAR VIEWS FROM EVERY WINDOW.  HE HUNG YANKEE TEE SHIRTS FROM THE BALCONY FOR THE PLAYOFFS.  I SPENT MORE THAN $1000  ON NEW MAHOGANY FURNITURE.  HE HAS HIS GAME BOY,COMPUTER AND FIVE THOUSAND WIRES CONNECTED IN  THE LIVING ROOM.

YOU CAN TAKE A MAN OUT OF THE BRONX, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE BRONX OUT OF THE MAN.    THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM SUITE HAS FRONT AND BACK GORGEOUS VIEWS OF THE 4TH,6TH AND SEVENTH HOLES WITH LAKES, PALM TREES, SUNRISES AND SUNSETS.  MY PLUTO ORIGINATED HUSBAND  HANGS A POSTER OF THE SUBWAYS PLATFORM AT SUNSET NEAR YANKEE STADIUM ON THE WALL.

MAN FROM PLUTO AND BEYOND

SO VENUS GODDESS OF LOVE THAT YOU ARE,TRANSFORM THIS FROG INTO A PRINCE BEFORE I THROW MY GLASS SLIPPER STRAIGHT AT THE NY YANKEE HAT ON TOP OF HIS HEAD.  IT WON'T BE A SLIDER OR CURVE BALL.  IT WILL BE A 98MPH SPLIT FINGERED FAST BALL RIGHT AT HIS SCHNOZZOLE.  BATTING PRACTICE ANYONE?

FURNITURE DISEASE

                              YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT WHEN YOU DEVELOP FURNITURE DISEASE.  THAT'S WHEN YOUR CHEST FALLS ONTO YOUR DRAWERS.  THEN IT'S TIME FOR PUSH UPS AND SIT UPS PLUS LESS CALORIES AND A RUN AROUND THE BLOCK EVERY DAY.  OTHERWISE YOU'LL DEVELOP AN EVEN WORSE PROBLEM-LINGERIE DISEASE.  THAT 'S WHEN YOUR PANTYHOSE WON'T FIT ABOVE YOUR ANKLES.

WWJD?

                                  IT'S AN EPIDEMIC IN THE USA WHILE HALF THE WORLD IS STARVING TO DEATH.  WE EAT TOO  MUCH AND DO TOO LITTLE.  THEY WALK ACROSS THEIR COUNTRY WITH LITTLE CHILDREN IN TOW TO GET FOOD AT THE RELIEF CAMPS ON THE BORDER.  WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?  TITHING-REPUBLICANS LOVE THAT.  THEY DON'T WANT TAXES BUT THEY DON'T MIND GIVING 10 PERCENT  OF THEIR EARNINGS TO THE LOCAL EVANGELIST OR CHURCH OF THE LADDER DAY SAINTS(GET THE PUN?).    OTHERWISE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS CONSIDERED COMMUNISM.
                           SO BRING BACK TITHING.  CATHOLIC CHURCH BINGO GAMES ARE JUST  NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THE WORLD'S POOR.  ALSO IF AMERICANS VOLUNTARILY GAVE AWAY  A  LITTLE,MAYBE THEIR WAISTLINES WOULD GET SLIMMER.
                                  NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, IT'S LIKE HERMAN CAIN'S 999 PLAN OR IS THAT 666?  UH OH HOW DID THE DEVIL GET INTO A DISCUSSION ON WEIGHT LOSS AND TITHING?  ONLY THE GODFATHER PIZZA CEO FRONTING FOR THE MOB WOULD KNOW THAT?

BEACHES

                       WE BIKED AROUND THE BLOCK AFTER BAGELS FOR BREAKFAST.  THEN WE HAD LUNCH AND WERE OFF TO THE CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE AND IT'S 25 MILES OF UNSPOILED BEACH NEXT TO THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.  IT'S A 6  MILE DRIVE FROM BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN TITUSVILLE,FLORIDA ON THE SPACE COAST.  THE WATER WAS TOURQUOISE AND ROLLING IN BEAUTIFULLY WITH 2 FT. WAVES.  THE WATER WAS 78 BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME NIGHTS IN THE 50'S.  THERE WAS NOT ONE CLOUD IN THE BLUE SKY.  WE STAYED ONE HOUR.  BILL SWAM IN THE OCEAN AND I WALKED ON THE BEACH. 

ROLLER COASTER OF LOVE

                       WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME I MADE A SALAD AND BILL MADE FIVE GRAIN PIZZA WITH TOMATOES,MUSHROOMS AND MOZZARELLA CHEESE.  IT WAS STUPENDOUS.  HE BUYS THE DOUGH AT PUBLIX AND BAKES IT ON A PIZZA STONE AT 450 DEGREES.  THEN A DIABETIC COMA SET IN AFTER A WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TEN SMALL HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE BARS.  WSE'RE SEMI WATCHING THE WORLD SERIES.  ALBERT PUJOLS HIT 3 HOME RUNS YESTERDAY,

12th House of Secrets

VISITING THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR CENTER IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST

                                          EVEN I DON'T KNOW THE SECRET AND SHOULDN'T WASTE TIME TRYING TO UNCOVER IT.  I MUST BE PATIENT AND IT WILL ALL APPEAR.  HMMM!  SO SAYS RICK LEVINE MY GOOGLE HOROSCOPE GURU.  HMMMM!   MYSTERIOUS!

                                             SO I WENT TO FREE BREVARD COUNTY RESIDENT WEEKEND AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR CENTER.  IT WAS LIKE A TIME WARP WHEN YOU GOT TO THE SATURN ROCKET BUILDING.  AS YOU WAITED TO ENTER 60'S MUSIC PLAYED AND AN ELECTIC NEWS LINE SCROLLED ABOVE THE DOOR REMINDING US WHAT OCCURRED IN 1968.  INSIDE WAS THE MASSIVE SATURN ROCKET LYING ON ITS SIDE THAT BLASTED TO THE MOON IN DECEMBER 21ST,1968, A WHITE CORVETTE USED BY THE ASTRONAUTS COURTESY OF JIM RATHMAN'S CHEVROLET IN MELBOURNE(HE WON THE INDIANAPOLIS 500) AND A FLAT,BLACK MOON ROCK THAT YOU CAN TOUCH THE SIZE OF A SNALL SEASHELL. 
                                             IT WAS ALL A BLAST FROM THE PAST.  JACUZZI MADE HIS TUBS IN 1968.  WHAT IF HIS NAME HAD LIPSCHITZ?   THEY DIDN'T MENTION HUNDREDS DYING IN VIET NAM OR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AND BOBBY KENNEDY BEING SHOT.  INSIDE THEY SHOWED THAT PLUS THE BLACK POWER SALUTE BY THE WINNING US RUNNERS AT THE 1968 OLYMPICS. 
                                              OUTSIDE MEMORIES FLASHED IN RED FLASHED ABOVE THE LARGE ENTRANCE DOOR LIKE IN THE WIZARD OF OZ.  THERE WAS OLIVER ,THE ACADEMY AWARD WINNING MOVIE,THE BEGINNING OF 60 MINUTES, AND THE FIRST AIRBAG IN A CHRYSLER.  ALL THE MEMORIES HAVE RECEDED AGAIN.  THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER.  A POIGNANT MOMENT AT KSC WAS GENE CERNAN TELLING ABOUT BLASTING OFF THROUGH A FULL RAINBOW OVER THE LAUNCH PAD AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.  HIS FAVORITE SONG IS "OVER THE RAINBOW"  WHICH THEY'D PLAYED AS WAKE UP MUSIC THAT DAY. 
                                          IT WAS FREE .  THE BUS TOOK YOU TO SEE THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING AND THE LAUNCH PADS.  ONE IS STILL INTACT BUT THE OTHER HAS BEEN DISMANTLED AND READY TO BE REPLACED WITH A HEAVY LIFT ROCKET PAD.  THE ONE BUILT FOR THE DISCONTINUED ORION LAUNCHES STOOD BY THE VAB AND WILL BE USED FOR THE NEW HEAVY LIFT ROCKETS TO BE TESTED IN 2013 AT KSC.

THE LAUNCH PAD IS EMPTY NOW.  ATLANTIS IN JULY 2011 WAS THE LAST SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH

                                           THE WEATHER WAS COOL,CLEAR,CRISP AND SUNNY.  YOU COULD EASILY WALK AROUND THE ROCKET GARDEN AND VISITOR CENTER GROUNDS WITH NO SWEAT.  TWO WEEKS AGO IF YOU LIFTED A PINKY IN THE NOON DAY SUN, SWEAT WOULD POUR OFF YOU.  MEET THE ASTRONAUT WAS EXCELLENT.  MIKE LEE WHO WENT FROM A ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE IN MICHIGAN TO MIT TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE CENTER IN THE 80'S WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.  HE WATCHED ALLAN SHEPARD  CIRCLE THE EARTH FROM SPACE IN 1961 IN THAT ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE ON A BLACK AND WHITE TV WITH A COAT HANGER AS AN ANTENNNA.  BUT IT INSPIRED HIM TO READ 200 BOOKS ABOUT SPACE AND LATER BLAST OFF FROM KSC IN THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

FIFTH HOUSE OF CREATIVITY

                                  MY SUN IS IN AN ARTISTIC MOOD.  A FIFTH HOUSE OF CREATIVITY SOUNDS HIGH.  I'M OFF TO THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER FOR FREE VISITORS WEEKEND.  I GO EVERY YEAR.  THEY HAVE AN IMAX THEATER WITH MOVIES ABOUT SPACE. A SPACE SHUTTLE BLAST OFF SIMULATOR, AND ATLAS ROCKET FROM THE MOON BLASTS THAT YOU CAN WALK UNER AND A BUS TOUR OF THE KSC LAUNCH FACILITIES.  ALL IS DORMANT NOW EXCEPT FOR LAUNCH PAD CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL LATE 2013 WHEN GIGANTIC MARS ROCKET WILL BE TESTED.

                                 TOMORROW WILL BE MORE ARTISITIC WHEN WE GO TO VIERA TO SEE THE SAND SCULPTURES AT THE STADIUM PLUS BROOKLYN PIZZA.  MAYBE WE'LL GET TO SATELLITE BEACH.  IT'S JUST OVER THE RIVER.

MORNING IS BREAKING

MARTHA'S VINEYARD LAST SUMMER

BROWN

                     I GREW UP IN A WITHERED BROWN SHINGLE HOUSE.  AS AN ADULT I BOUGHT IT AND PAINTED IT RICHMOND BISQUE.  I SOLD IT AND MOVED INTO ANOTHER BROWN SHINGLE HOUSE.  IT WAS QUITE WEATHERED TOO.  I SOLD IT AND EVENTUALLY BOUGHT A HOUSE IN CAPE COD WITH BROWN TRIM INSIDE AND OUT.  I PAINTED IT CAPE COD GRAY(WHICH IS RICHMOND BISQUE) AND KEPT THE BROWN TRIM INSIDE.  THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN HAD DARK TRIM INSIDE.  I BOUGHT A HOUSE IN FLORIDA WHICH HAS BROWN TILE AND FIREPLACE TILE.  I REPLACED THE DIRTY STAINED WHITE CARPET WITH BROWN.  IT HAS BEIGE WALLS WHICH I KEPT.
                      SO I'M BEING FOLLOWED BY BROWN MY WHOLE LIFE.  WHAT HAS BROWN DONE FOR YOU LATELY?  MY FLORIDA HOUSE HAS LOTS OF WHITE TOO IN THE TRIM AND LIVING ROOM TILE.  WE HAVE WHITE WICKER FURNITURE AND WHITE CORIAN COUNTER TOPS.  THE CABINETS ARE BROWN WOOD.  UPSTAIRS WE HAVE A BROWN TILED JACUZZI IN THE MASTER BATHROOM AND BROWN CARPET AND A BROWN LEOPARD BEDSPREAD IN THE MASTER BEDROOM.   OF COURSE EVERYONE WANTS HARDWOOD FLOORS.  THAT'S A CURRENT BROWN TREND.
                        I EVEN PUT A BROWN CARPET IN MY POOL HOME THAT I'M RENTING OUT.  IT WAS THAT OR HARDWOOD FLOORS.  THE WALLS ARE MOCHA CREAM AND HEALTHY GLOW WHICH IS LIKE A ROSY TAN.   THAT HOUSE USED TO BE PINK AND STILL PARTIALLY IS WITH SUN WASHED PINK WALLS IN THE LIVING ROOM.  I REPLACED THE STAINED PINK CARPET WITH BROWN OF COURSE. 
                            BROWN IS IT FOR NOW IN MY LIFE.   I CAN'T GET AWAY.  AT LEAST I DIDN'T MARRY MR. BROWN OR WORK FOR UPS.  BROWN SOUNDS BETTER IF YOU CALL IT CHOCOLATE AND TASTES BETTER TOO.  SO IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA, CHOOSE BROWN.  

OCTOBER 11,2011

                       IT WAS 87 DEGREES YESTERDAY IN BOSTON AND ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND.   IT WAS HOT,HOT,HOT INCLUDING CAPE COD.  STILL THE PLAYOFFS IN TEXAS WERE POSTPONED UN TIL 4PM TODAY BECAUSE OF RAIN.  WE BEACHED ON FALMOUTH HEIGHTS LISTENING TO THE LENNONFEST ON JOHN'S 1ST BIRTHDAY AT THE BBC(BRITISH BEER CO.).  IT WAS QUITE LEGUBRIOUS BECAUSE ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND 87 DEGREES IN MID-OCTOBER AT THE BEACH.       
                       THE FLOWERS ARE STILL BLOOMING.   THERE'S BEEN NO FROST.  WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE A FIRE IN THE FIREPLACE.  IT IS TOO HOT.   WE ARE HEADING TO FLORIDA WHERE LIKE TEXAS,IT IS RAINING LIKE CRAZY.  THIS TRIP IS ALL BECAUE WE WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD SERIES THERE.  BUT NOW IT'S TEXAS OR DETROIT VS. MILWAUKEE OR ST. LOUIS.   OY VEY!
                         SPEAKING OF FLOWERS, I WENT TO THE PALETTES AND FLOWERS EXHIBIT AT THE FALMOUTH ART CENTER.  BOTH THE PAINTINGS AND FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS WERE GREAT.  THE MOST AMAZING ART WAS 3D PAINTINGS THAT SORT OF LOOKED LIKE PAINTINGS ON VELVET.  I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT'S DONE.  THE ARTIST DIDN'T OR WOULDN'T SAY.  THERE WAS BRIE,PINEAPPLE,STRAWBERRIES AND WATERMELON PLUS CHOCOLATE COOKIES AND CANDIES AS REFRESHMENTS.  IT WAS COMBINED SHOW BY THE ART CENTER AND FALMOUTH GARDEN CLUB.
                            OH I FORGOT THAT TODAY I HAVE TO GO TO HIGHFIELD FOR A NEW ART EXHIBIT.  TOUGH LIFE EH?  THIS PACKING,TRAVEL,CLOSING UP A HOUSE AND A LACADAISICAL HUSBAND WHO IS ALWAYS ON A DIFFERENT PAGE IS THE ONLY WRINKLE.  WHAT ELSE IS NEW?  HE SITS BACK AND LET'S OTHERS DO EVERYTHING.  HE MAKES A FEDERAL CASE IF HE EVER HAS TO HELP.  HE'S A SELFISH,SELF-CONCERNED,SELF-INVOLVED TWIT.

IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON

                           THE WAXING GIBBOUS IS 98% FULL.  THE FULL MOON ALWAYS SIGNALS FINANCIAL UNDETAKINGS FOR ME.  UH OH!  WHEN IS IT?  TOMORROW?

DR. OZ FOR THE NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE

                       FOR 25 YEARS, I'VE TOLD MY HUSBAND TO PUT DOWN THE TOILET SEAT.  HE NEVER DID.  OUR BATHROOM ISIN THE HALL.  WHEN YOU'D WALK BY THE BATHROOM,YOU'D SEE THE NAKED TOILET.  WE'D HAVE COMPANY STAYING OVER AND THEY'D SEE THE NAKED TOILET.  HUBBY WOULD NOT PUT HE SEAT DOWN EVEN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT DOWN.  ALL THE KING'S HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN COULDN'T GET MY REPROBATE HUSBAND TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN.

EXCEPT DR. OZ ON ABC.  ONE DETAILED EXPLANATIKON FROM THE GOOD DOCTOR ABOUT HOW BACTERIA SPRAYS ALL OVER YOUR BATHROOM WHEN YOU FLUSH CONVINCED MY OBTUSE HUSBAND TO PUT THE SEAT DOWN AND THE LID TOO.   DR. OZ SAYS THE BACTERIA(ECOLI) GETS ON YOUR TOOTHBRUSH ETC..  HE DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT BLACK MOLD BUILDS UP IN YOUR TOILET FASTER WITH THE LID DOWN.  BUT AT LEAST WHEN I NOW WALK PAST MY BATHROOM, I DON'T SEE THE NAKED TOILET WITH ALL ITS YUCKINESS EXPOSED.  NEXT HOPEFULLY THE GOOD DOCTOR WILL WORK HIS OZ MAGIC AND MAKE HUBBY CLOSE THE BATHROOM DOOR AND PICK HIS SOILED ECOLI RIDDEN STAINED UNDER WEAR OFF THE FLOOR. 

SO IT'S THE OZ FOR THE NOBEL IN MEDICINE AND THE PEACE PRIZE TOO.  WE NO LONGER HAVE TO FIGHT OVER THE TOILET SEAT BEING UP OR DOWN.  THANK YOU DR. OZ

FULL MOON

                       THE MOON IS 89% FULL NOW.  I GUESS IT'S THE HARVEST MOON SHINING FOR ME AND MY GUY.  WHICH REMINDS ME:  I AIN'T HAD NO LOVING SINCE JANUARY,FEBRUARY,JUNE OR JULY.  BUT THE POINT OF THIS MOONSTRUCK DISSERTATION IS:  FULL MOONS =MONEY DECISIONS FOR ME.  MY GURU RICK LEVINE SAYS I MAY SEEM WISHY WASHY BUT I KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS  SO JOE FRIDAY RICK IS NOT.  HE SAYS FORGET THE FACTS, GO WITH YOUR INTUITION.  I'LL BE RIGHT.  I DON'T KNOW IF RICK REALLY KNOWS ME.              
                            NOVEMBER IS WHEN I MAKE ALL MONUMENTAL MONEY DECISIONS.  IN LAY OF THE LAND BY RICHARD FORD, HE SAYS WE BUY REAL ESTATE AT THANKSGIVING TO COMPENSATE FOR SOCIAL DEFICIENCIES IN OUR LIVES SUCH AS NO ONE WHO WILL EAT A TURKEY LEG WITH US ON T-DAY OR PREFERRING A SOUP KITCHEN TO BEING WITH YOUR RELATIVES. 
                            As they say in Brian Friel's Philadelphia Here I Come:  AMERICA IS A VAST RESTLESS PLACE -FULL OF IMPERMANENCE AND ANONMITY-AND THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
                             SO IT'S:  FLORIDA HERE I COME!  DAMN THE TORPEDOES,FULL SPEED AHEAD.  RICK LEVINE ,MY HOROSCOPE GURU SAYS :  THE NOSE KNOWS,GO FOR IT.  RICK, RICK -YOU'VE GO TO HELP ME-TO QUOTE WITHOUT Capitals or Quotation Marks CASABLANCA.
                                HEY NOW THOSE ARE HARD DECISIONS.  BUT WE'LL STILL HAVE PARIS.    THESE RAMBLINGS ARE WHAT RICK SAYS IS THE VOICE OF A LIBRAN WOMAN WITH GREAT INTUITIVE DECISION MAKING POWERS.  THAT'S ONE WEEK BEFORE MY 67TH BIRTHDAY.

YOU CUT THE TURKEY?

                            RICK,RICK-YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME!

IGNORE SELF DOUBT

RICK LEVINE,HOROSCOPE SAGE

         I COULD LAND IN  A FUNK TODAY SAYS RICK LEVINE MY GYPSY HOROSCOPE SAGE.  HE SAYS I AM WORRYING UNNECESSARILY.  DON'T WORRY.  BE HAPPY. 

DO CHORES,PLAY LATER

   MY FIRST CHORE IS TO BRING MY CASINO WINNINGS TO THE BANK.  TOUGH LIFE EH?  I'D HAVE MORE BUT A MINI-JACKPOT WASN'T ENOUGH,$1000 WASN'T ENOUGH,AND $11OO WASN'T ENOUGH.  I LOST SOME BUT NOT ALL TRYING TO WIN $25,000 OR $75,000.  LUCKKILY I STASHED MOST OF MY JACKPOT IN THE ROOM AND LATER THE CAR.  I JUST USED A LITTLE.  WE DDI TWO NIGHTS FREE AT THE MGM GRAND.  I'M QUALIFIED FOR IT EVERY WEEK.  WE DID GET FREE MEALS AT JUNIOR PLUS CHEESECAKE TO TAKE HOME.  WE DID GET A $75 DINNER FOR MY BIRTHDAY AT THE CRAFT STEAKHOUSE WHICH WAS QUITE GOURMET WITH A TINY SALAD,MINI HORS D'OEUVRES,MINISCULE POTATOES AND RAVIOLI THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP PLUS A PERFECT FILET MIGNON AND A BRANDIED PEACH CAKE PLUS ICE CREAM FOR DESSERT.  IT WAS VERY RECHERCHE WITH SURPRISING INGREDIENTS AND TASTES BUT A DELICIOUS PRIX FIXE FOR $45 EACH.  JUNIORS WAS INCREDIBLY GOOD WITH GREAT CORNED BEEF HASH,PASTRAMI.BLINTZES,BAGELS AND CHEESECAKE.  THEIR MOTTO IS ALL YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT.
UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE TO GET ONE OF THOSE STOMACH BAMDS INSEDRTED TO COUNTERACT ALL THIS FOOD.  WE ATE LIKE CRAZY IN WHITE PLAINS AT OUR FRIENDS.  SHE MADE ARTHUR AVENUE BACALAGIA'S RAVIOLI AND TUTTOROSA SAUCE PLUS HOMEMADE RICOTTA CHEESE CAKE(THERE'S ANOTHER KIND?) AND MEATBALLS AND PORK CHOPS.  AT MARIO'S ON ARTHUR AVENUE IN THE BRONX WE HAD PIZZA,SUFFED CLAMS,ANTIPASTO,LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE,VEAL AND EGGPLANT SORRENTINI PLUS MINI CANOLIS AT BILL'S FORDHAM PREP MINI-45TH REUNION.  WE WENT TO THE BRONX BOTANIICAL GARDENS TO SEE THEIR PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN WALK.  THE PUMPKINS SHAPED LIKED CATERPILLARS WERE ARTIFICIAL.  AMAZING.  BUT STILL IT WAS GREAT PLUS THE JAPANESE MUMS IN THE CONSERVATORY.  IN WESTCHESTER I TOURED MY HOMETOWN WHITE PLAINS WITH SEVERAL SKYSCRAPERS NOW PLUS MANY NEW RESTAURANTS,MOVIE THEATERS AND SIDEWALK CAFES AND BARS.  MY HOUSE LOOKED FINE ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT THAN WHEN WE OWNED IT.  LISA TOOK ME TO MANOR PARK IN LARCHMONT WHICH WAS GORGEOUS WITH VIEWS OF LONG ISLAND ACROSS THE SOUND AND S AILBOATS ALL OVER THE WATER.  IT'S JUST LIKE FALMOUTH EXCEPT THE PARK IS MORFE MANICURED WITH GAZEBOS AND BENHES ALONG THE WAY.   I LOST THIS PAGE BEFORE SO THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

LOST

I TYPED FOR AN HOUR.  IT DISAPPEARED.  BOOH.  I CAN'T FIND EDIT. YUCK.
