BE PATIENT

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY

                                  MY GARDEN LOOKS GREAT.  BILL GOT THEM TO FIX THE WATERING SYSTEM.  PREVIOUSLY IT WAS HITTING TOP OF MY SEGO PALM TREE AND NOT THE FLOWERS IN THE BACK.  I WOKE UP ONE NIGHT AT 2 AM AND SAW IT ALL MALFUNCTIONNING.  IN THE FRONT THE SPRINKLER HEAD WAS SHUT OFF BY MY BOTTLEBRUSH TREE AND FLOWER GARDEN.  MOST OF THE OTHERS IN MY GARDEN PATIO WERE BARELY WORKING.  TWO GARDENEIAS DIED IN THE FRONT BECAUSE THE SPRINKLER ONLY HITS THE GRASS AND NOT THE PLANTS.  ONE GARDENIA IS ON ITS LST LEGS AND PROBABLY DEAD.  FINALLY AFTER THREE YEARS MY MAINTENANCE WOMAN PATTY HAS REPAIRED THE CHIPPED STEPS IN MY FROONT ENTRANCE STAIRS.  SO BE PATIENT.  WE ARE GETTING THERE PETIT A PETIT COMME NOUS DISONS EN FRANCAIS.
                                      PETIT A PETIT L'OISEAU FAIT SON NID.    MA MAISON EST MON NID.  IT'S A NESTING INSTINCT.  I'VE ALSO GOTTEN MANY GOLFERS TO PARK AWAY FROM MY BACK DOOR ON THE SIXTH HOLE EXCEPT THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON BOYS.  THEY PARK RIGHT ALONG SIDE MY PATIO TABLE AND GARDEN.  OFTEN THEY BLOCK THE CART PATH.  I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE MEMBERS OR A LEAGUE OF KENNEDY SPACE CENTER WORKERS. 
                                        SO ALL IS PICKING UP.  THE WEATHER IS FRESH AND COOL.  I WALKED FROM THE RIVER TO HOME YESTERDAY WITH A STOP AT THE MALL FOR ART SUPPLIES.  I HAD USED MY LAST CANVAS TO PAINT A COPY OF AL RAO'S ORANGE FLORIDA LANDSCAPE.  I'LL DO A BLUE,PURPLE,GREEN AND PINK ONE SOON. 
                                          WE HAD A $1.99 BREAKFAST AT THE ITALIAN FISHERMAN RESTAURANT NEAR US. THEY ARE FOURTH GENERATION RESTAURANT OWNERS DESCENDED FROM A NEW JERSEY RESTAURANT OWNER.  THE FAMILY HAS HAD SEVERAL RESTAURANTS AROUND BREVARD COUNTY.   THE GRITS WERE GREAT.  WE WERE CELEBRATING 11/11/11. BEFORE DINNER I BIKED AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  WE WENT TO PAUL'S SMOKEHOUSE AT SUNSET  ON THE RIVER FOR ROCK SHRIMP AND COCOANUT SHRIMP EACH AND THE MOONRISE.  IT TOOK A WHILE TO EMERGE FROM THE DARK HAZE OVER MERRITT ISLAND.  BUT SOON IT WAS BIG AND ORANGE OVER THE MOON RIVER.

                                           SO 11/11/11 TRANSPIRED PEACEFULLY ON THE MOON RIVER FOR YOU FOR ME AS ANDY WILLIAMS WOULD SING.  A ROCKET WILL BLAST OFF FOR MARS OVER THAT RIVER ON NOVEMBER 25TH.  THAT'S IN 13 DAYS.  THANKSGIVING IS IN 12 DAYS.  WE ARE GOING TO OUR SISTER-IN-LAW'S IN SATELLITE BEACH.  UNCLE JOHN IS FLYING DOWN FROM MARYKNOLL,NEW YORK.  HE'S 84 AND BORN ON THE SAME DAY AS QUEEN ELIZABETH.
