Discovery's Last Flight - Jam Session

(Wauchula, FL) Hi 86 Lo 63 -- It's so nice in the mornings, so first thing we did was take a walk before it got too hot.  There's a lot of activity in the park in the morning.  People are outside reading in their lounge chairs, walking, riding bikes. It's very active around here.

I washed the car and Jim helped me put a coat of wax on it.  It's been months since I gave it a good cleaning. I met some new neighbors that just moved next door to us.  They're from Michigan and had to travel through some ice  to get here.

We've been waiting for weeks for the shuttle Discovery to go up, and with a few minute delay it went up a little before 5:00pm. It was neat seeing all the people outside in their chairs watching for it. Unfortunately it was cloudy in the direction of Cape Canaveral, which is 100 miles away, so we didn't get to see it.

After we ate dinner we went with our friends Gail and Dan to the Thursday night music jam session.  There  were a lot of people and it was a lot of fun.  This woman whistles, not the normal way through her lips, but with her tongue curled inside her mouth.  She says it takes 65 years of practice.  :)  She was very good!

The guys did some gospel songs, country songs, some 50's music, and some funny songs (like "Pass My Bowl of Butter Beans" sung to the tune of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee."  Hilarious!)

Several people come from different parks to join us.

It was a great day.  Its almost the end of February and looking into March we have a lot to get done before heading north in April.
