I had to post pone the outdoor morning adventures Sana and I planned, due to the fact that I couldn't fall asleep last night. (I won't mention the plans until Wednesday evening of next week, after they have happened.) But it turned out for the best because I woke up at 2pm to the loudest thunder I can recall hearing. The rain was blowing sideways again, I'm sure. (Flower photo taken at the Brevard Zoo ~ I've been meaning to post it.)
A couple weeks ago Michael suggested we eat at a pizza place called Brick Oven because he agreed that my "trying new places to eat" was a good idea. Unfortunately that date never worked out (& I had been there before), but tonight did invite me out to dinner after he got home from work and we did try a new place he had been told about:
Bob's Potatoes. It was close by and the online menu looked good. When we got there though the whole place was empty, while the neon sign on the window said "Open". The two people working came from the back and only seemed to speak enough English necessary to take food orders. They had 7 different items that they could stuff into the potato. We got the chicken and bacon served inside a huge "egg" of hashbrowns on a bed of lettuce. The medium size could easily serve 3 people, so of course we have leftovers.
I feel as if my creative skills have lacked these past few weeks because we haven't gone anywhere recently. At one point we talked about going to Mobile to stay with NaNa and Michael's family would meet us there for a few days. I was very excited about that. But since we got a bunch of jobs and we were working all the time (most of the credit goes to Mr. GoreFX), we didn't have time. He wanted to go to Birmingham for a few days - I think we would have left tomorrow - but he got a new job at Ripley's (their distribution center) and starts on Monday. I was hoping to go up there, especially if it snowed and because Parker has a T2i as well and has different lenses than us.
There is far too much green in Florida right now for a January. The red and dark orange leaves are pretty, but I kind of miss freezing in the early mornings last year while we filmed Gruff's Bridge. However, I was still able to wear a few layers with a scarf and my fuzzy hat. These are the best photos I was able to get today while walking around. I like the one of the branches and sky because it reminds me of the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy gets taken by the winged monkeys. For whatever reason, that's one of my favorite scenes. Maybe because they can fly?
