Neighborhood Sites

Earlier today, I had to walk to 'Plaza Terranova' to get a few things at the grocery store. I intentionally walked slower than my usual pace to take in the sites. I passed a man who was mowing the lawn with one of those motorless lawn mowers from the 50s. He was polite and waved. I kept walking down the street that is lined with lime, orange and a few coconut trees. They really are beautiful. A few minutes later, a fire truck drives by. The firemen are not wearing the typical fireman's uniform that I am used to seeing. Even the fire truck was interesting to see. It was big, red and had a loud siren but it must have been at least thirty or forty years old.
On my way back from the plaza, I stop to visit with an elderly man that Grady and I have come to be friends with. He is the maintenance man at the apartment building next to our's. He told me it was his wife's birthday yesterday and they had a big party for her with their family. He asks about Grady and offers some encouragement.
I finally arrive home and open the laptop to blog about my walk to the plaza.
