General Joe Potter and the Magic Kingdom

William E. "Joe" Potter was an engineering and logistical planning genius, which is why Walt Disney recruited the retired U.S. Army major general to oversee the early construction phases of Walt Disney World in Florida. In this role, Joe ably guided the Herculean task of transforming 300 acres of Florida land into the Magic Kingdom, while preserving the area's ecology and beauty.







As former President of Walt Disney Attractions Dick Nunis recalled in 1988, "Joe was a man Walt Disney was very fond of. Without Joe Potter there would be no Walt Disney World today."

Year in review - 2009

Bathroom was finished one year ago but has the bedroom been completed? No! Slackers

In April we went to Florida for an airshow and of course, visited Disney.













In mid may my husband went to Glasgow & London on business.













Memorial Day weekend we were again in Florida (Jacksonville) where I papparazzi'd two weddings. Note if you recognize that this is your wedding then email me which picture is from your wedding and I'll gladly send you the photos I took.
















Interestingly both had the same color scheme (note the bow on the bride the bridesmaids had that color dress)...very beachy.

Disney Paris???

No not Disney Paris, it's Orlando Florida. Enjoy these next few blogs of travels past while my camera is busy taking photos in London & Paris.

Façade

The word comes from the French language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face".

What "face" do we put on every day. Is it a reflection of our true selfs or like these buildings only a "front" with no real substance.

Lights, Camera, Action

Smile, you're in the movies.

It's only an Illusion

Music and Words by: J. Jordan/Vladimir CosmaArranged by: Kenyo

Met you by surprise,
I didn’t realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there,
I didn’t know i cared
There was something special
in the air

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it’s meant to be

Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it’s only fantasy

If you do exist, honey don’t resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it’s true
Show me what to doI feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness has past
And maybe now at last
I’ll see how a real thing can be

Dreams are my reality
a wondrous world where i like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that’s my reality

Met you by surprise, I didn’t realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that’s it true
Feelings that are cue
I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
a wondrous world where i like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it’s only fantasy

Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
and loving you seems right
perhaps that’s my reality

Dance like your on top of the world

Yeah, my DSL is back...no more watching paint dry

Oops, up on the wrong side of the bed I’m in a bad mood, brooding like Achilles type attitude Including a short fuse, shitfaced, and pissy pants, you better keep your distance My panties are twisted, Anti resistant, red hot and bothered, blistered and bloodshot, rotten and dirty, Disturbed is the word, I’m down in the dumps, perturbed if you prefer, I’m grumpy as something, I’m one grouchy grampa, dusty and disgruntled and crusty,You better not test me, trust me, I’m a flustered old bastard, my feathers are ruffled, So back off buster, you best not stress me, just don’t bug me, I’m hungry and ugly, so don’t try to hug me, please and thank you, I’m cranky for some reason, maybe I’m crazy. A phase I suppose, it’s just one of those days, it comes and it goes. I probably just need a rest, just a little PMS, I don’t mean to be a pest, so leave me alone, I’m a little low on patience, don’t ask questions, I’m not open to suggestions. I’m hoping to cope with it myself, and I’m sureit’ll help if I practice and act immature. I’m a prickly cactus, a barbed wire bulldog, a bump on a log, guard ball, I’m god awful. I don’t wanna take a pill I don’t wanna take a walk I don’t wanna go to sleep I don’t wanna have a talk This is my grumpy song, For when there’s something wrong, I don’t know what it is, It shouldn’t be but it is (x3) Don’t wanna take a pillI don’t wanna take a walk I don’t wanna go to sleep I don’t wanna have a talk
