April...Flowers?

Welcome to another edition of We Trot About...Slowly.


For more frequent updates let me suggest Andy's and LuAnn's instagrams!

     Well, let's see. What have we been up to? We went to the #ArtWalk in DownTown Jax #DTJax AKA #Spark Walk  since they were hosting the #OneSpark inventors' showcase there.  There I got arrested by stormtroopers but moments later I used the force to escape. Harrowing!


They replaced the shark sculpture there with a 600-lb orange chicken made of recycled traffic cones.  I say it's a much better use for them!


     We went to the Orlando airport to pick up our son Austen who is visiting from Austin. Yes, you read that right. While we were there we went to the Leu Gardens, a wonderful 50-acre park full of David Rogers' giant bug sculptures. It was a great experience that we highly recommend!





     We spent a bunch of the past week showing him around our new town on bicycles. The weather has been spectacular and biking over the bridges above the Saint Johns River afforded some great views of Jacksonville Landing.



     We hit a bunch of the beaches and had lunch at Joe's Crab Shack, another must have experience here. All in all a rocking few weeks. As always we are working our art stuff, I had some gigs and continue working with the new Andy Toomey Trio and LuAnn is painting. Tune in next time for more #Florida #Fun!
