Gasparilla Knight Parade

Arrive early and stay late! Be sure to CHEER for the GaYBOR District’s Float!
MS The World
Look who we spotted in Port Tampa! Launched in March 2002 The World is the largest floating community in the world. There are 106 private apartments on board. The community travels the world. They stop 3-4 days at ports. Some resident live full time onboard while others visit through the year. How very exciting to have her stop in Tampa.
More New Museums in Ybor
The new Tampa Baseball Museum board has changed the opening date of the new Ybor City museum. This will be a six month delay. The changes are because of contractors finding more work and repairs that have to be done to the old Tampa famed baseball player Al Lopez home. The board also decided to wait until after the baseball season to open and to have major league baseball players present at the opening. The group is also looking for Tampa baseball memorabilia for the museum. Items can be given to the Ybor City Museum Society. www.tampabaseballmuseum.org.
While the 2 historic relocated houses are being renovated, 2 new parks next to the Tampa Baseball Museum and the new Law Enforcement Museum will be built across from the Centennial Park and the State Museum. New construction started this week and are now being transformed from parking lot to new parks.

You Can Not Make This Up.
This week Carrie & myself have been together 36 years. The first 10 years you’re in love and lust. You really don’t know what all is going on all around you. That is why when we were together about 18 years I had a big surprise. Carrie & I were working on restoring our bungalow home. Carrie accidentally got a big ripped leg cut & I took him to the emergency Walk In Clinic to have stitches and shots. The next day I was reading the doctors bill and noticed a mistake. Right there in black and white they had the nerve to write down the wrong date of his birth. I showed it to Carrie right away.
Carrie smiles and said that it was correct. CORRECT!!! You mean you are 4 years older than me and not 2 years! Carrie smiled and said, “Yes, I didn’t think it was a big deal.”
I replied, “NO BIG DEAL!!! So when I had your gigantic 40th birthday party you were actually 42? Your sisters must have thought I was crazy and a little off!” Carrie smiled and said that his sisters already thought I was crazy.
If I ever get another boyfriend I will check his drivers licence on the first date!
