Visiting Tom and Janet brings such reliable pleasures that we really look forward to when visiting. Walks around the neighborhood are some, beautiful architecture, gardens, no two homes alike, parks, huge banyan trees in the medians. Here's the Biltmore.
A princess party in the local park.
Allen and Tom got in some tennis.
A distinct highlight of this visit was a simul-wallcast at the New World School for the Arts in Miami on a breezy, perfect winter evening. Tom and Janet packed a picnic basket, chairs, and blankets (thankfully), and we joined thousands of others in an outdoor wall-cast venue designed specifically for that purpose, amazing sound system and all.
This spiny-backed orb weaver was our gate watcher for most of our stay.
A morning walk to Roma for coffee Cubano and to watch Cuban community mainstays sit around and chat. They are always so kind to us, the only ones there speaking English!
Saturday morning's agenda always includes a walk to the Coral Gables farmer's market, a see-and-be-seen place full of health and delicous-ness.
Tom designed this pool for their yard space.
"My" beloved bougainvillea
Janet's orchestra gave a concert at their Coral Gables Congregational Church while we were there, lucky timing for us.
I sat in the back, because, as now seems to be the rule for when we're in Florida, I got a cold.
