Went over to Ringling at 10:30. They gave me the senior price even though senior
starts at age 65. The Senior rate is $20 whereas regular admission is $25. I
first went to Caas D'Azan which had a wedding going on the back patio
overlooking Sarasota Bay. The house is opulent but not on the same order as
Hearst Castle or the Biltmore. The surprise was the Tibbal learning center which
was thousands of miniature people made in Tibbals workshop over 50 years. He had
trains, circus wagons, lots of tents and big tops. Wow. I then toured the Rose
garden and some of the other landscaping which was lush. I did a walk through of
the Art Museum including the Circus photographs of somebody at the turn of last
century. Dinner tonight was leftover ribs from last night. Talked to Libbie
tonight on my Pay Per View phone. She worked late at the greenhouse today so she
can take tomorrow morning off and get a massage. Tonight I had the leftover ribs
with the veggies and bake potato. I went to Publix and picked up some Sour Cream
for my potato and I also got some chips which I shouldn't have. I watched Beau
Pere which I brought with me. The title must refer to a Stepfather. The premise
is a man is left with the 14 year old daughter of his girlfriend after the
girlfriend dies in a car wreck. A love relationship ensues making this a remake
of Lolita.
