Time for Strawberries and Visits -Mechum Auction

 Auburndale, FL (Hi 63  Lo  42)

Monday and Friday: I worked at hospice. I'm on a computer away from patients. We have masks on when we get close to each other in the office.  

Tuesday: My hair grows fast and I had an appointment for the 26th, but I went in as walk in to get it cut. It's a pixie cut and looks great. I'm learning I can't go six weeks at a time, it needs a cut a lot sooner. 

Wednesday We went to Mechum Auction in Kissimmee. It's the largest car auction in the USA. We went with Mike and Terri. We haven't seen them in awhile and they are in Florida for the winter. They wouldn't allow anyone in the action itself, but they had big screens around to sit and watch outside. We took rides in the Dodge Hellcat. Talk about fast, whew, so fast I didn't even get pictures. We went a couple years ago and it was changed a lot with Covid. We weren't allowed to sit in the cars at all this time. We left before rains started. It was a great fun day with friends. 

Thursday: We met with Lessie and Ed for lunch in Plant City at our favorite Cuban sandwich place (Strawberry Hut). We went to Parksdale Farms for our dessert of strawberry shortcake. The strawberries are just starting to get picked so they didn't pile it on like they will later next month.

Friday:  After work and dinner we had our weekly zoom meeting with our friends in North Carolina. It's been a good week. 

We have a new trail camera that's setup at the corner of the house aiming at the canal and retention pond. We got some cool pictures of a possum, nosing around the house. Look to the right corner of the photo. (Click the photo to enlarge). 

Our grandson got his learners permit this week. He also got his report card which was all A's. All three of our grandkids have high grades and doing very well in remote learning. 

Since it's been chilly, the alligator beside the neighbors was out sunning itself. There's been birds all around him and he never moves. 

Our sunset one night. This was taken by another neighbor. Sure is pretty with palm trees.
