Bok Tower Gardens with the Penneys
It was a beautiful day to visit Bok Tower. We strolled through the gardens and made our way to the tower to hear the bells. After this peaceful time we ate a yummy lunch in their cafe and I bought enough plants from their garden center to fill the back of the wagon! 
Just before John fell (was pushed?) into the pond. Ok, just kidding, he didn't really go into the drink.
Enjoying the lawn near the tower.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_B._Plant_Museum If you ever get to Tampa, take a couple of hours and visit the campus of UT. Originally built as a hotel in the late 1800's, it is now a vibrant college. A museum is located near the entrance and you are also permitted to stroll the halls and look around. 
After working our way through the museum, we walked down to the river. The students who are also enlisted were practicing (not sure of the correct term) around campus - even near the sun bathing girls! 
This is a shot of the hillsborough river with some guy who just totally walked into the shot. 
Also on campus is the site of Babe Ruth's longest homer. I think that means his longest home run but I guess they couldn't fit that on the sign.

Well, we didn't actually play... we just watched and enjoyed the beautiful view of Harbor Island. Tracy plays a couple of times a week at this tennis club. After her match we went to Estella's for tacos and then to a little place next door for ice cream and basketball on the TV.

Annie and the charger. . . Anyone have one they need to sell?
Annie is such a good puppy. Look at that face. How could one resist?
She obviously has many toys from which to choose.... as well as unlimited bully sticks (organic of course!) and an occasional steak or rib bone to satisfy that puppy urge to chew.
However, she discovered the blackberry charger (a universal charger, I just happen to need this style for my phone) and look at the results. I'm not mad or upset, it is my fault that it was within her reach. However.... this is/was the only wall charger I have/had... I can go buy one or quickly get one on ebay. But if you are like me, you have this drawer of old electronic cords, adapters, and other unknown thingys that you can't throw out just yet. If you find yourself in this position with an extra wall charger with the metal thingy as shown in the photo below, I'd be glad to pay for it and shipping to get it from your junk drawer to my blackberry.
Just in case you are wondering how is SHELLEY GOING SURVIVE WITHOUT HER LINK TO THE WORLD .... fear not... I can charge via usb and the computer but that will not help when I'm traveling or otherwise away from SHELLEY'S OTHER LINK TO THE WORLD! If you read this and you know me and can help me out, send me an email, text, or call. If you are reading this and you don't know me but want to send me some charger love, leave me a comment with your email address and I'll make payment arrangements. THANKS in advance if you are my saviour!

Nashville via Muscle Shoals and Florence, AL
A few weeks ago we travelled to Nashville with the ultimate destination being Florence, AL. Why in the world Florence? You have to know it involved the Paul Thorn Band. :)
Of course there are no pics of me but here's a couple of Liz.

Here's a link to one of the videos I shot:

Paul broadcasted this show live over the internet and also recorded it for a DVD to be released later this year.
