I used to know a really rich guy who had a cottage in Turkey Point. Every two years or so, he would replace the palm tree on his front lawn.
lolNext time you're in Florida, kidnap a baby palm into your trunk and see if it will grow up north. There's a shinny new nickel in it for you, providing that @PUSH can spare it.
Hmm. New business venture, baby Palms to transplant to your snowbank. If you can't stay in Florida... take it with you.
He would import a full size 40-50 footer.
There was a Days Inn up the road which attempted to place several palm trees near their front signage when new owners took over years ago. Because...when visitors come to the southern Appalachians, what they expect to be greeted with are palm trees.
The plastic Palm trees do really well up here

They actually sell them in Florida. We got one from a friend in December and it seems to be doing ok. It’s tiny though.
Years and years ago, on the Arthur Godfrey radio show he pushed a small log like thing imported from Hawaii. It was about 1 inch in diameter and about 4 inches long. Looked like a cut up small branch of a tree. Anyway, it promised to grow into a miniature palm tree from Hawaii. It was quite a fad for a short time and almost everyone's never did anything but remain a tiny log, however, my mothers branched out and produced two tiny indoor palm trees that she managed to keep alive for at least 30 years. I don't remember what they called it. The only thing that comes to mind is a Tiki Tree, but, I might be confusing that with the Tiki Room. End of story.
That is an excellent story! Love it.
You "slept until 5:15 this morning" ....and you enjoyed "sleeping in"
Wow my friend!
5:15am is sleeping in?
What time do you get up when you don't sleep in?

Makes sense to me!
Waving hi this morning to @Eric1955 . Anything new or interesting happening in your neck of the woods lately? (Then again, it would be hard to top discovering a Dole Pineapple Whip location, well beyond the borders of WDW!)
Easter is April 21, so I assume your church will have some nice get-togethers with parishoners around the holiday. Back when you lived in Florida, your church hosted some tasty meal events (at various times during the year). So, I'm thinking that maybe some similar activities might take place at your present church.
So are you studying radiology? Or are you only doing x-rays? I didn't know that you could just concentrate on one area.
Maybe you have to start with x-rays and then specialize. I’m pretty sure that’s how it works here.
