My mother gave the little boy statue to me for Christmas a long time ago, but I never knew what to do with it so I put it away in a dark storage room.  Then, years later, a neighbor’s dog (Maggie, my friend) knocked over our bird bath while trying to get a drink, breaking the top.  Somehow, after debating whether or not to throw the pedestal away, I saw the connection. I took the boy statue out of the dark storage and used the bird bath pedestal as the boy’s pedestal.  I put him at the base of a large live oak in our back garden.  He’s been happy there ever since.  Sometimes, you have to see beauty differently, because otherwise it will elude you.

On a comfortable Spring afternoon Winter Park offers a small town feel. Sidewalks that go by cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlors and art galleries. Since it isn't as congested as the entertainment parks, it is a nice place to have a glass of wine and talk with friends.
