Parks in the City

Day 5: Parks in the City
第五天：城市公园

 经历了昨天一整天主题公园的拥挤和等待，爸爸妈妈觉得度假还是去公园比较合适。看看谷歌地图，去了2个相隔几分钟车程的城市公园。英明决策！不过爸爸搞错了先后顺利。。。

Shadow Bay Park & Tennis Center

 网球场条件真好哇！这么大的有5，6个，年轻的男子把球抽得呼呼有声，带劲儿。奶奶感叹，“就算没兴趣，这么好条件，打打都培养成球星了！”


 公园建设得很现代。水泥的小道又宽又长铺得四通八达，走着走着走到一个门口，出去过马路就是住家小区。非常羡慕这里的居民，遛娃遛狗遛弯儿的地方真是高大上。小路两旁的植物也是品种多样。12月是旱季，叶子边儿都打着卷儿，摸着硬硬的，被天给干得。爸爸说，“不用担心，它们都能存活，皮实着了“。










 在一张八人方桌上简单地吃个午餐，烤辣鸡翅就着烤红薯，再来块大西瓜。

吃饱喝足了接着逛公园。。。









 没有什么动物，小蜥蜴倒是不少。

Bill Frederick Park

一进去大家异口同声感叹，怎么没先到这里来？！天都黑了！




 看人家多会玩儿！飞盘高尔夫，这还是头一回看见。
 好大好大的一片林子，十分开阔。旁边就是 Turkey Lake, 沿湖有露营的场地。不禁又羡慕一把这里人民的幸福生活，真真是阔绰！






 市民健身器材
 奥兰多机场 ～跟姐姐合影留念，有你真好，下次有机会再一起出游！
 飞了三个钟头后，看着越来越白的地面，知道是到家了！


就着榨菜和炒鸡蛋，喝碗玉米白粥，家里的饭真香！

洗过碗，妈妈开始畅想候鸟南飞的幸福生活。。。

Duvet cover quick fix ~ from zipper to velcro

Image
This nice 300 thread count 100% cotton duvet cover has a full zipper closure on one side. The zipper pull is lost somewhere, leaving it on the shelf for a while. I finally have time to fix it. Rip the seams open along the zipper and took it off; Iron the top and bottom fabric flat, align them, and fold over 1", iron again; Divide the length into 3, with right side together, top stitch along the folded line to close the left and right 1/3, and leave the middle 1/3 open; Cut 3 pieces of Velcro tape, 2" each, separate them;  Evenly space the loop side of the Velcro tape on the lining within the opening, pin them in place, then sew the Velcro tape through 2 layers of the lining; Align the other side of the Velcro tapes on the top fabric, pin and sew ONLY single layer, as I don't want to leave 3 squares on the top fabric when done;  Top stitch a straight line along the folded edge of both top and lining fabric, make sure don't catch the other side by accid

How to clean a stainless steel coffee mug?

Image
My favorite stainless coffee mug is getting so flavorful that I think I should give it a deep clean. Add 2 Tbsp baking soda into mug; Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar into mug, enjoy watching the bubbles;  Put the lid on, gently turn the mug so that the inside is rinsed with the solution; With a dish sponge, clean the inside becomes so easy, and the coffee stains come off effortlessly; Raise mug with hot water. It took me 5 minutes to get it as shinny as new. A quick and green way to clean!
