Hello Dali!

The new Dali Museum officially opens today at 11 AM.  I was fortunate to go to a pre-opening event on Sunday.  What a wonderful addition to downtown St. Petersburg!
It was a beautiful day on Sunday so Pete, Joe and I walked down.
Missin' that NY weather!
Working the red carpet.


From the first floor lobby, looking East toward Tampa Bay.




 This Rolls is looking like it came from under a lake.  There is a 'woman' in the back seat.  You can press a button on the side of the car, and it produces a thunderstorm in the back seat.













 Looking down at the cafe.



How Chic!




I found it!!!
Young again!

Linda and Louie Back in Florida

Linda and Louie arrived back in Florida for their escape from winter up north.  This marks their second year of staying for three months.  They're camped out in Bradenton, about a 40 minute drive from me.


We spent the afternoon together yesterday, visiting Mazzaro's, and then over to Treasure Island and John's Pass. We spent a cool 5 minutes on the beach!  Brrrrrrrrr!  Then walked around John's Pass, then back to Treasure and dinner at Foxy's.  It is nice to have them close for the winter months!  And Ray and Iz plan a visit at the end of February.  The Linda Raymond Kids will ride again!

O Holy Night

I snapped this photo last night.  Been wanting to for a while and figured that it would go dark soon.  But then realized they are waiting for the Wise Men to show up, so I have a few days yet.

Happy New Year 2011 !!!

WOW!!! 2011!
Pete and Joe had a gathering for New Year's Eve.  Alan, Phil, Wayne and I started the evening with homemade pizzas.  
We headed to First Night in downtown St. Pete.  There were lots of activities going on and thousands of people partaking.  Alan's and Phil's dog, Cody, a standard poodle, accompanied us on our walk about.  He's such a good doggie!  Very friendly and easy going!




It was a beautiful night to be outside; somewhere in the 60s.
Me, looking all geeky for the new year!

Sights on the walk back to Old NE.
Getting ready to watch the ball drop in Times Square!


We then watched the Bette Midler, The Showgirl Must Go On special on HBO.  She is still the same!  Love her!
