We had a special friend, Andrea and her husband Rich here this week for a visit. She was our boys babysitter in the 80's and we've stayed in contact all these years. She's like a sister to me and it was great seeing her. She was on vacation in Florida so she stopped in for the afternoon. (Click on pictures to enlarge).
Rich and Andrea,
We took them to Parksdale Farms in Plant City, FL for a strawberry shortcake. I'm glad they were here while they were still open.
Andrea and Dee
Later this week we went to Quality Ridge to check on the RV and truck. The truck batteries were dead and they replaced them. The battery on the RV is dead so it has to be jumped. This is the time of year people buy RV's to keep in Florida.
Oh the memories!
We had some noise in the lake that sounded like a lot of flutters and water splashing. I thought it might be a couple alligators but it was pelicans. Lots of them. They've come around a couple times this week.
Our community has been busy crocheting grocery bag mats for the military for the past couple months. We now have 35 of them made. I've separated by sizes. I'm so happy they've come together to help and it gives everyone something to do that's for our service men and women.
The front of our place now has some added characters to be with the lighthouse.

I'm still crocheting little critters. I made a robin or oriole, depends on how you look at it.

Condolences and safe travels.
Now, that is my idea of a strawberry shortcake! Yums.
Way cool Dee to have been friends with someone for so long.
I've been waiting for you guys to post that you had sold your trailer and truck. Hope it finally sells. I've been trying to work it into our financial planning to allow us to get back into a sticks and bricks once we come of the road - without having to depend on selling the rig right away. We might have to rent something until it sells.
It has been a blast watching how you guys did all this.
