In honor of Bastille Day I'm posting a Paris Banner from the Disney World Food & Wine Festival 2009.  I have photos of the Eiffel Tower replica but can't find it.

Here is a link to a Disney blog showing the beginnings of the French Pavillion at Epcot and a photo of the Tower.

I've been visiting Disney World quite often lately. The Osborne Light show is amazing and the Disney elves are working hard to get the rest of the Parks and Resorts Christmas and Holiday ready.

At the Grand Floridian they always have a wondrous Gingerbread House. This is what the preparations look like. All that's missing is the Gingerbread and the icing.

Photo taken by my inherited daughter, Vanessa.

I know that this isn't Kissimmee but it's close. Derek Gores is a collage artist who lives on the East Coast of Florida and has done the poster for this year's 47th Space Coast Art Festival.



I've signed up to take a 2 day class with Derek. I'm looking forward to it but need to figure out who I want to do. It's a portrait class.

Since some of you liked our first video, here is the second Sunshine Diva video. We did this here in Kissimmee in May when we had our last get-together. We spent so much time getting this done that we missed the free wine and beer at the poolside cabana. Now that's dedication to our Il Divos.

This is my cat, Shadow, telling me to wake up and smell the roses and perhaps start blogging again. He's usually right and very bossy so I guess I'll make an effort to post more often.

Sorry I haven't posted but I'm taking a break to renew my enthusiasm for this blog. In the meantime I'm having lots of fun going to concerts and hanging out with friends.
This was done yesterday in South Florida with my Sunshine Diva group. This morning it was posted to Youtube and we should all be embarassed but we're not. It was such a fun two days and these are the best group of women ever assembled. Just wanted to share it with all of my blogger friends.

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. I'm fine, just still recovering from my trip, had company and crazy schedule. I'm off to Puerto Rico tomorrow for a few days to see Il Divo and some friends.
I need to decide whether to continue this blog or head in other directions for awhile. It's been a year and I'm thinking it may need a rest. I'll ponder while I'm away.

Today I will be at Epcot at Disney World for the Food and Wine Festival. Hopefully I can stay awake and not wear out before the end of the evening and the fireworks. This photo was taken the last time I was there.
Food and Wine Fest is lots of fun and I'm sure I'll have a bit of a pang when we get to Paris. I plan to have a glass of wine and a creme brulee.
Hope to get some photos for future posts. I am out of pictures for this blog so I need to get to work.

Big surprised when I got home. My neighbors painted their house. It was grey with white shutters. I love the green shutters but I photographed it at dusk so the yellow wouldn't blind anyone. It's very bright but looks nice against the green grass and the green in the shutters calms it a bit.

I need to get out and about and find some new things to photograph in Kissimmee.
