Tour of Palm Beach

Today was bitter cold in Florida but had a wonderful visit with Beverly Delaney today. (She is old acquaintance -- from Houston ). She is living the good life in Florida and picked me up in her classy looking silver Corvette. She has a beautiful spacious apartment on Singer Island overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. While I should have been working on juried art slides, this visit was much more fun.

Because of the cold weather we had to eat indoors at a local restaurant on on the ocean, but we had a great view of the water. Actually the food was good too. Beverly and I go back many, many years and had lots of catching up. Guiteau stayed in our hotel and just rested up and got a break from me today.

The best part of the day was driving in and out of the small private roads of the mansions along the A1A in Palm Beach. The "Donald's" estate was beyond words to describe. I left my camera in the hotel but I couldn't have really captured the beauty of the homes (estates), the landscaping and the picture perfect neighborhoods (not a good word to describe this paradise).
I love the tall hedges around the estates that serve as privacy walls.

Even though I can't live in any of these mansions, they were stunning to look at and just imagine the dinners, events and parties that probably take place here.

Tomorrow I reallyyyyyyyy must get busy with my paperwork. But, for today, all is well and I had a perfect day. Goodbye and Goodnight.
