Day 65 – September 26

It is Friday again, which means worship at St. Lukes Lutheran Church.

citrus trees

After church we took off and headed toward Mount Dora.

That is where we saw citrus trees, a mile long road with just these trees only.  We wanted to share a couple but there was a large sign that made it very clear it was prohibited.

We also drove by this house that was for sale, we thought it was a perfect place to spend some time. So we took a picture of it so we could look it up on the internet, wondering what the price would be. It also had its own drive way, wouldn’t it be nice to live here. Oh and on the left far away your next door neighbors.

When we got home and we found the house on the internet we also found out that the house on the left actually is the barn in stead of the next door neighbors. The house was very very big, considering we found the barn large enough, and all on a couple of acres of land. The price was only $ 800.00, not too bad for all that was included. Back home the price would at least be double of the asking price. Well we just keep on dreaming…..

When we decide to buy something in the area we better think it over again… Think about waking up and find one of those in your back yard.

Since Camy is into One Direction I bought a couple of magazines at Goodwills, brand new!

We also stopped at the pharmacy to pick up some medicine for Camy, her ear still hurts. The doctor wants to try to solve it with a nose spray and ear drops, trying to relieve her of the pain she still has. Hope all will be fine soon, for a while now she is not allowed to swim and what is a better way to spend your time than to jump into your private pool when you come home from a long day at school.

Day 58 – September 19

We did not really do anything today, just a regular Friday.
We did of course attend worship this morning and afterwards we did some grocery shopping.

After school Camy wanted to stop at the Mall of Millenia, just wander around a little. What is going on there …..
Lots of people were standing inline for the latest iPhone, everyone going crazy!

At Moaz, a vegetarian restaurant we had a falafel, more than delicious.
Last week we also had one and we wanted more after that, so it was an chose to make.

Day 56 – September 17

We took it slow today. First we walked around Blanchard Park.
We have visited the park before but this time we started on the other side.

On this side a bridge takes you over the water to the other side.
There was a little breeze as well, superb!

Since it was Wednesday we had dinner at church again, it was lasagna this time.

day56-03

After dinner Camy participated in a worship with other girls all her age.
Just having a little chat of what the Bible is all about, but first it was time to sing. It was a “heavy” worship so this was once but not twice for us.
Can not say a bad thing of anybody but talking about God, Jesus and Bible is a little too much for us. But again not a single bad word about anyone, we are glad we attended the worship and have seen it from behind the scene.

Day 37 – August 29

It is Friday again, time for Chapel. We also participated in the worship this morning, which is attended by all students during their first period.
And like we told you before, parents are more than welcome too.

Day37-01

Also at school today were some Cranes. Real nice, tall birds, this is only about 6 feet from them. Normally a bird would have taken off but not these.

Day37-02 Day37-03

When school was over today and the weekend had started we took off for Miami right away. Too bad it rained, but you can not have it all. It is Labor Day weekend so there will be no school on monday and we decided to take advantage of that by taking a little holiday and go see Miami. South Beach, Miami Marlins and shopping is on the to do list.

Day37-04

But first, we will spend the night at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel.

Day37-05

Later that night we ran into the Duck family. How cute, mother and 7 babies in the middle of parking lot.

Day 30 – August 22

Today is Friday, the day we worship with all of St. Lukes students at the Chapel. They use large screens so everybody is able to read all the lyrics and sing along. Also do they use it for the speeches given and prayers, high-tec church and up to date.

Day30-01After church we made one more stop at Home Depot, just to have one more look at what kind of flooring we really want.
Is it that hard to make your choice 🙂

Outside near the exit there is a hot dog booth which smells real good and since it is almost lunch time we decide to order a hot dog each.

Day30-02 Day30-03 Day30-04

And when there is some time left …. it is time to relax.
You take a salad, a good book and find the right spot in the park for a couple of hours.

Day30-05

Surrounded by the white Ibis, a curious bird who is not afraid and comes by real close, see whether or not there is some food left.

Day30-06

Last night it rained cats and dogs with a lots of wind even taking parts of the cage out. Since we always leave the house early we only saw what happened when we came home again. With this happening we have got another project to take care of, getting the cage repaired. Now that one part has disappeared, leaving a big gap for all insects, bugs, lizard to “enter” the pool, we need to get this fixed because we are not looking for these kind of visitors.

Day 23 – August 15

Today is Friday and every Friday school starts with a worship in church.
The worship lasted about 40 minutes with speeches and songs and last but not least, do-er awards are handed out. From all classes students can pick a student who did something good, helped someone out or was noticed in some other way. Counting all the votes a student from every class will be called and need to come forward to receive an award and T-shirt. A teacher is also voted for by students, so he or she will also receive an award.

Day23-01 Day23-02

We, as parents, are allowed to visit as well. And since this is all new to us as well we decided to join the worship and see for ourselves. And even though we are no Lutherns it was good see and we might join them again next week.

After worship was over, all students went back to class and had a normal day in school. And we …. we had this wonderful garot cake, yumie! Hey we need to spoil ourselves once in awhile, haha.

Day23-03

While driving around we also saw this parking lot with, I do not know how many, school buses, awesome to see because that is what they are.

Day23-04 Day23-05

In the meantime it was lunch time, SO what do we have for lunch today?
Why not go over to Panera Bread, it’s been a while since we last ate here. And since it is crowded here all the time, the food must be good. We both had a flat bread along with a smoothie. And indeed delicious.

Day23-06

After school was out and the weekend had started Camy wanted to go to the outlet mall.
Since she was at school the entire week and did not see the inside of a store we decided to go.
This is where we saw this candy store with “Lego” candies.

Day23-07

And how’bout this mega candy necklace.

Day23-08

And even though the mall is large enough and with all the different stores we did not buy anything today. And let me tell you that does not happen very often 🙂
