Mile high meringue. This is a special request for our friend Gene who just spent a few days in intensive care and deserves some chocolate pie.

This is the new plumbing installed around the deck. I got the water turned off and the contractor came almost immediately and capped the pipe. Another wrong decision I made that could have gone very bad. Thank goodness I was taking Annie out the back door and noticed the water. I don’t know how long it had been running. I will know within 30 days – once I get my water bill. Sigh.

In anticipation of the new garage.

Cypress vines are doing great in the pine forest.

Hillcrest Coffee is in an old craftsman bungalow in Lakeland. This was a small show – house concert style.

This won’t last long.
