Life is slowly returning to what 'was' prior to my European re-unification. I am slowly and lethargically preparing to face the unexpected challenges that meet and greet me from sun up to sunset and some times even while I sleep.
Knowing full well that my reconnect with Florida has been bumpy- at best, my daughter and son-in-law invited me out on a date last Friday night. I sometimes forget that we natives are extremely fortunate to be in spitting distance from infinite variations of local paradise; fifteen minutes from anywhere we can indulge in an outrageously luxurious multi-cultural international city-scape.
And... as for today, my return to life and art is still at low tide, the following are visuals that illustrate the indescribable evening this Momma spent with her besties; an evening that kept us out and about past two a.m.-- very a-typical for me!
The first stop was the dinner stop at an amazing Sushi place just east of of North Bay Village, Katana Sushi. A small, low lit restaurant with a unique dining experience called Kaiten sushi. We waited to be seated for a bit, but it was worth it. The term Kaiten is used to describe sushi places that have plates with sushi on boats or conveyor belts circling... We hungry sushi lovers were not shy and proceeded to pluck sushi off boats that traveled on a steady stream of water next to our table. In the middle, an expert chef would prepare different entrees and then place them onto the current. Needless to say, we did Titanic type damage to the dinner vessels.
Loving me some eel sashimi!
The night was still young at this point!

I made a new friend, William.
I don't know how much alcohol was in his Red Solo Cup,
but after a private tour and several
outbursts of just how beautiful he thought I was,
I too promised to return to to the Museum just to hear him say it all over again!
Laughing Out Loud (LOL)!

I think this portrait of a lady was created just for me!
She pretty much expressed my mood on Friday.
