The People.


Another... pretty morning, in Daytona.
; )

The Delve Booth, is Humming Along.
: ) : ) : )
Folks LOVE Steph's AMAZING Fabric... that's created from her Original Artwork.
It's been very, very... Busy.
<3
I'll have to admit, it's been grueling, too.
On so many levels.
Show's, are.
Whatever kind of show/event.
; )

What's saved me, as always... are The People.
<3
: )
This event, has been troublesome, on so many levels.
but...
'The People'...
no matter where we go, are Simply... The Best.
<3




Mary... is a Security Guard, at the facility we're in.
I...Hit It Off...with Her, Day One.
<3


Mary, is an Artist/Biker/Trucker/Security Guard.
<3
She's 83 years old, and ride's her Motorcycle... with other Gal Pals, in  Daytona, dressed in
  'Nuns Habits'.
; )
She'd dress in it while Driving Truck, with her Husband.... for Parties, as well.
; )
<3 <3 <3 
PRICELESS!!!
<3


The Fabric Shopper's...
{Artists}
are 
Beautiful.
<3

When we go for Supper, Every... Beautiful Server, has been GREAT!!
<3

Wonderful...
People.
<3

Tonight... went to Rossellinis Italian Restaurant.
One of our Sweet Neighbor's at The Show...Highly recommended it.
WOW!!
: )



When we got our meal, our Neighbor's...at Rossellinis, who were visiting from Canada...for The Daytona 500, were Eyeballing my Plate.
: )
We had a Lovely Visit.
<3
They, Too... are 'Ford' People.
<3
They broke the news to me, that a chevy had won The Daytona 500.
Almost... 
ruined Supper.
Hahahaha.
; )


{Love the 'Server'... above. 
We, had a long chat.
 <3 
Seems we 'know' one another...better than we'd ever want to. 
She's been through hell, too.
She lost her Husband to brain cancer, too, last year.
Steph's Dad... also, was taken...by brain cancer. 

Cancer, is our mutual enemy. 

After I heard her 'Story'...I, really... couldn't choose a meal, so... asked her, to order for me.
Figured... she'd pick the best choice on the menu.
: )
<3
She did.}
<3
It was a Wonderful... Day.
<3

I've taken many images, wanted to post...much more, but... frankly, I'm beyond tired.
Don't let the images of Steph, fool ya.
She Smiles... and, somehow... makes it through each day.
She's in constant pain.
It's heartbreaking.
We both are.
This is quite an Adventure.
; )

'Show Time'...
Always Is.
; )

I'll be finishing my 'Novel'...when I can, and... the rest of 'The Daytona Story', when I can.
; )

Running on less than fumes.
; )
Grateful...
So, Very... Grateful, for 'The People'.
<3
All of 'em.

{So far. ; ) }

Love to Ya...
Prayers, for All.

{I can hear the Ocean's Constant Pounding, against the shore... from our room.
It's quite humbling.}
