Round 'n About
I don't Mow if you are in-
terested in what is happen-
ing regarding Highway 75
here in Florida, but it is
nearly completed. It is to
open right through to Naples
by early May,So for anyone
driving down, 1 it will help a
lot,
We recently spent a long
weekend in Fort Meyers
with our friends from Sar-
nia. We just missed the
"Swamp -Buggy" races
which are a .great after-
noon's entertainment. This
ear they were run the same
• with the Fort Meyers
Celebration of Light. This is
Edison's hometown.
My friend Chistine is one
of those people who has
always "wanted to paint"
and last year I made her
start - which is the first step.
It was hard to believe that
she could do so well on her
first. paintings, but it just
goes to prove my point you
can DO it if you just get
started. She had been a bit
discouraged because the
teacher she has at their
mobile park spends most of
the tiine"with those who can
already paint - which really
hurts the, newies. So we
painted up a storm and 1
thinkshe will have more con-
fidence in herself now, And I
feel good too, because I could
help her.
This is one thing we should
ALL do -. help others, willing-
ly, learn whatever craft we
know. So many people are
jealous of someone seeing
how they do THEIR thing. I
could never understand this
and we knew that many
crafts have become obsolete
or lost completely because
someone didn't want to help
another person to learn
"THEIR" art er crnft.
In the Bible story of the
TALANTS I have always
thought of them as
"TALENTS" and eachof us
has a few. If we don't help
others learn them then we
are "hiding our talents
under the basket" or
whatever and it is a SIN - I
think. So while learning • I'm
still taking lessons ® I'm also
helping others: I have a new
lady, here in this park,
started recently, So I am en-
joying it and keeping out of
mischief:
Last week son Doug and I
went aloft in his plane and

the countryside. It is fan-
tastic.
One has no conception of
the size of a city or a harbour
or the farrg►ing area unless
they can go and see it from
above. Most people couldn't
care less, but I believe if one
was about to buy property in
a new part of the country
should also see it from
ABOVE to really know what
he is getting.
For a few years we stayed
not far from Port Charlotte -
a "town"' as I thought of it
by what I had seen and I
wasn't too impressed. But
since seeing it from the air, .
have said "unbelievable".
The city has miles and miles
of property, streets -
everything laid out - ready to
sell, besides the vast sec-
tions of the built-up proper- °
ty.
And the harbour -from the
map it is just a squiggle in
the coastline - is miles and
Miles wide and the Myaka
River is much mightier than
I had thought.
Another fairly large river -
The Peace - runs into this
harbour and recently, Doug,
Madeline and young Jack
took a canoe trip starting to
Arcadia' and travelled down
river, stopping once for a
picnic, to a place where they
and the canoe were picked
up and returned to -the star=
ting point • and their car. $o
that was a nice outing for
them and I, too, enjoyed see-
ing their river -trip from
above - how it twists and
turns, looked like the
Maitland back home.
Arcadia was a surprise,
too - it is only 35-40 miles
from where we live here, but
as many times as we have
been to the rodeo in Arcadia
(and itis a good one with big
crowds) I thought this was a
very small town. Not so, it is
a large reaching area, sit-
ting on solid ground - the sur-
rounding area is full of
holes!
You don't see them from
the ground - but from above
the countryside is beautiful
with thousands of beautiful
HOLES - all the shades of
GREEN you can think of.
The shoreline of the Gulf of
Mexico is also GREEN -
green from the faintest
yellow -green to deep blue-
green. It is something to see.
The trees, bushes and
flowers are recovering from
the frost damage - up home
we, just call this WINTER -
but here so many of the trees
are killed. The bright spots
are some red maple trees -
the leaf is maple all right,
but the light colored bark of
the ° tree is making me
wonder what family it is.
Before the frost of January,
the'orchid trees were bloom-
ing. Now there are few
blooms anywhere, So many
have to be cut down or dug
out. 'My art teacher has a
peach tree (scarce here)
which loved the cold and is
now showing lots of peaches.
My coleus bushes are all
dead and there are just ferns
left in the planter. A root of
the morning glory is alive
with Martha Rathburn
and starting to climb again.
Right now the art and craft
shows are everywhere, I'm
helping in one in a couple of
weeks. I don't know if I men-
tioned it but I .have the
"stolen" bike back. No lite
or mirror, a broken wheel
and two tires ruined, but
we're glad to have it back.1
never exPected to seeit
again but the kids played
,with them, then after break-
ing things, dumped the six in
the park lake.
Well 6:20 a,m. - the first
bird squawked the alarm - I
still don't know who he is,
but some day —. A mock-
ingbird has a nest
somewhere close by - how
they sing! Bluejays and car -
