A NEW BIKE!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!  I got a new bike for my birthday - coming in November.  (thus the surprise)

The Story of Mike and Nora's Picture.

Mike and Nora held an Open House at their new apartment. (They used to live at the Oaks)

The Oaks, the old folks home where I stayed in a Villa across from it.

After Mike and Nora moved across town into their new place, they casually mentioned that mostly they missed 'the views' from the Oaks.  (The Oaks sits on the bank of the Gulf of Mexico with incredible views of the sunsets on the bay.)  So, I sent hundreds of photos to Mike and Nora so they would not miss the view...   Here are a few samples:

Fast forward a few weeks and Mike sends me an email saying he likes a particular photo and wants to make a print of it to hang on the wall in their new place.  "My how flattering for me."  Now all I had to do was go back and find the original photo so we could have the LARGE file.  The photos I had sent to Mike were greatly reduced in size and quality to email.  We needed the original photo to print from.

It took me two days and 5 external hard drives to find it.  But eventually I dug it up and we got it printed.  Now it hangs in their living room.   THE END.
