Cafe Chat …

Welcome … grab a cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea.

Now, sit in a comfy chair and let’s chat.

A little music might be nice … I hope you enjoy my selection

 

Beethoven’s Silence – A soothing piano melody

I hope your weather has been good. Do leave from where yo’ure visiting in the comments; if you leave a comment. We’ve had glorious 70’s during the day and 50’s at night.

The cooler weather has been wonderful for walks. I’ve been having a fun time with my new fit bit. I hadn’t been a watch wearer for the longest time. Retirement will do that. No need to wear one since there aren’t any kids to pick up or drop off anywhere. But … a fit bit is different. It was a gift for Christmas from my hubby after a recent surgery. Oh, you missed it, read here. This little gadget monitors my heartbeat, sleep patterns along with oxygen levels, stairs climbed, steps walked, my stress level, it reminds me to get up and move if I’ve been sitting too long, it tells me to take a moment to meditate if I’m stressed, it buzzes when an email comes in, gives me the time and the outdoor temperature. This is a computer on your wrist.  I wasn’t thrilled with being told by a watch what I should be doing but I have to admit it has kept me moving.  I suppose it has a purpose. If you have a new gadget that helps you keep fit, let me hear about it?

While on my morning walk, I came across a tiny little bunny.

He had a fluffy white tale but ran off too quickly for me to capture it.My Christmas cactus hadn’t bloomed in December.

Surprise …. here are the flowers. Okay, a bit late but still beautiful.

I’ve been participating in musicals at A Frank Angle for sometime. He’s hosting a new musical series with ‘The Beatles’. Unfortunately, I was out of the country when they hit the states in the BIG WAY they did. Over-the-years, I’ve grown to love them.

If you love music … AND … The Beatles – aFrank is hosting the aFa Concert Series. To join in click here – you’ll have a blast reminiscing with all the mop top boys’ tunes. Below are two songs from the musical this past weekend.

Have a Great Week …!!!

Enjoy … Isadora

This first video has superb graphics, dancing and a great song …

Sunday Song – They Say It’s Your Birthday

Isadora Birthday Swim.web

Today, I’m adding a song about celebrating birthday’s.

I’ve been celebrating the entire month of July even though my birthday

is officially on July 20th.

It’s my special day. No one can take it from me. I’m special on that day.

So, I shall be a bit self-indulgent and add the great Beatles Song:

They Say It’s Your Birthday (Beatles Birthday Remix)

Yes, that’s me in my pool.

Yes, I wear a hat to shade my skin from the sun.

Yes, I wear sunglasses because my eyes are sensitive to the sun.

Yes, I wear water shoes because I don’t like to walk bare footed.

Yes, I’m wearing a sun reflective shirt to keep the UV rays from burning my skin.

Yes, I do doggie paddle swim but prefer sitting under the waterfall.

Just a bit about the “Birthday Girl.”

A Day Trip to Matlacha Island

Matlacha Horizon.webAn old Florida fishing village, the tiny town of Matlacha (MAT-luh-shay), is an islet west of Fort Myers.

Boutiques, art galleries and seafood restaurants bedeck main street.

Its’ traditional Florida cottages retain the charm of a quiet fishing village.

We dined at the famous Sandy Hook restaurant which offers a variety of items on their menu.

 Fish, steak, salads and scrumptious deserts like Key Lime pie.

The photo above is your beautiful view while dining.

Leoma Lovegrove –  Colorful Home

Leoma Lovegrove, local artist in residence, should be elected the queen of color. Her home is as colorful as her gallery.

The gazebo, in the rear of her gallery, offers a quiet place to take a short respite after you’ve viewed her artwork.

There is an abundance of outdoor art offerings you to view, too.

She showcases other artists in addition to her masterful works. She does little to hide that she is a huge fan of the Beatles.

She pays homage to them in some of her paintings and by playing their music inside and outside the gallery.

Artist Leoma Lovegrove

Florida artist, impressionist-expressionist painter, wife, celebrity, local historian, patriotic,

colorful, energetic, business savvy, kooky, vibrant, marketing genius,

Midwest transplant, animal lover, fisherwoman, devoted friend and did we mention colorful?

These are just some words one might use to describe the fun-filled gal that is

Matlacha Island, Florida artist extraordinaire Leoma Lovegrove.

Take a step inside her color-filled island life and enjoy the ride.

She’s known worldwide for her colorful artistic depictions of flora and fauna.

She calls Matlacha Island, Florida her home.

It is here that she is inspired within her own waterfront gallery

and gardens where she greets thousands of visitors each year.

Leoma’s contagious love of Florida has been instrumental in encouraging tourism to the state.

Her works are on display in galleries throughout the world and are in two Presidential libraries.

She was also honored at an artist’s reception at The White House given by First Lady, Laura Bush.

These are just a few of the reasons Bealls Department Stores

has partnered with Leoma as their Florida Artist.

Her Good-Day Sunshine collection created exclusively for Bealls is currently in stores statewide.
