Palm Trees in southern Florida

Sitting here looking out the window at the palm tree

It's almost 7am here in southern Florida, next to the Gulf of Mexico.  I'm doing my morning computer thing, writing this blog and looking out the window admiring the palm trees. I really like palm trees.




It's a 'Payday Friday', that means there are bills to be paid, but my credit union is on the West Coast so it's way too early for that. It's a travel day:  we're going back to Georgia, where we left the RV & the cat, but with the timing to get thru Atlanta it's way too early to be leaving. Besides it's a chance to visit a bit more with the in-laws and that is why we came down here.

Getting married doubles your family and with family you don't get much choice, as in, "You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family."  I lucked out.

It's been a good visit.  My bride is happier, I've had a pleasant time and I've gotten to see not only palm trees but banana trees too! I really like all the sub-tropical growth here.

Southern Florida is a good place.  I can sit here and look out the window at the palm trees.

  2. I dislike driving through big cities. I prefer to travel through them at nignt - about one or two in the morning when the traffic is near zero, and then sleep the next day.
    Happy trails to you and your wife .

    1. Cities are usually the big problem if you're on the main roads. This time we hit Atlanta after sunset & rush hour.
      I now like traveling during the day, so I can see the country. I have had to work at convincing myself that it is more than just getting to where I'm going...I do need to stop & smell the roses.

  3. Worst scare ever was driving through Atlanta, second worst was going through as a passenger. Never, ever again. Maniacs there.

      It can be a long drive to avoid it...
