TALK OF THE TOWN

The Wheels Are Turning

By Rich Maladecki

The start of a new season means there are new experiences to be had. Now’s the time to reflect, plan, act and implement some new ideas into your lifestyle!

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching - it may be time to plan activities for this Sunday, May 8th Holiday!

Do you remember the old saying:

“April Showers Bring May Flow-

ers”? Do these words hold true today, in Central Florida? Stay tuned!

Guessing Game: With the continued increases at the gas pumps, it might be interesting to predict the price of gas, per gallon for the Fourth of July Holiday. My thought: $5.99. (Hope I’m wrong). What’s your guess??? Let’s consider a small or large family project for Earth Day 2022. Ideas include planting a tree, starting a garden, or installing a bird feeder. Other past successes include cleaning a beach, a stream, or your community park. Remember, Earth Day 2022 is Friday, April 22 (Theme for this year: Together, we must invest in Our Planet).

New “Date Night” idea:

Please plan a relaxing evening at the recently opened Lake Nona Wave Hotel. This exciting, new property features an interesting outdoors Sculpture Garden, an “eye opening” living room inspired lobby area and two restaurants and bars. For added information, please connect to its website: www. lakenonawavehotel.com.

It’s nearly time to finalize and submit your federal taxes. Remember: Monday, April 18

is Tax Day 2022.

Have you experienced the new I-4 Express Lanes? For six l-o-n-g years, Central Florida commuters have tolerated this needed expansion project — let’s hope this completed widening program helps with our daily commute!!!
