93/365 - Downtown Mt. Dora

With my parents in town, we went to explore downtown Mt. Dora. It was a beautiful day and we had a fantastic time.

I love these old buildings - the tile is gorgeous!

I also love how the city has partnered with local business to beautiful with plants and flowers.

My dad noticed that the sign was posted missing an S. It's completely not there - not just rubbed off, not there.

Leave off the s for confusion!

92/365

My parents are in town and we spend the afternoon hanging out. We checked out some thrift stores and yard sales and while cruising around we spotted this in my neighborhood.

You've been flocked

How cute is that? A local church group is hired to place all the flamingos on the yard and then the home owner makes a donation to remove them all.

Here's a flowering tree in our backyard. Not really sure what it is - but it's pretty.

Flowering tree in our backyard - wonder what it is?

Matt got these in the mail today. His sister rescued them from storage. It's a copy of one of the first programs he wrote many many years ago, saved to cassette tape.

General the dog (91/365)

General is a black lab who is being trained to become a service animal. He comes to our school every day with Kate Rosin, his current owner and trainer,  and learns to socialize with crowds, handle being in an office and generally have a great time. He'll be leaving us soon to go on to the next step of his journey. In fact, his foster mom is getting ready to pick up a new puppy very soon to start training the next generation. We'll miss him very much.
