Trip Log

November 26, 2014

Over 5 1/2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. At least we don't have to shovel it.

Today we went to Blue Springs State Park on the St. Johns river to kayak among the manatees with Mike and family and the Abbate's. Just as we were about to get on the kayaks it started to rain and rain hard so we opted for a rain check and walked on the boardwalk instead.

Mike and family arrived last night after a night with Lisa's cousin in Charlotte. We took the girls out driving in the golf cart and today we went to Lake Okahumpka State Park. Mike and I played 9 holes of Frisbee golf while the girls walked and took pictures for Annika's school assignment.

November 16, 2014

As opposed to last week this was a very busy week. We were responsible for the subs, chips and veggie trays for the Erie Club meeting on Thursday night. We had a "Bunco" night and things went very well and everyone was well fed.

November 12, 2014

Kind of a quiet week. Alesa paddled and made sure we played platform tennis every day. We golfed a little and played the Lopez championship course. They had coyote silhouettes on the course to keep the birds away. Must be working because we didn't see any birds.

November 4, 2014

It's November and the clocks are set back and it's getting chilly. 39 degrees on Saturday morning with a high of 62. It is starting to warm up today and hit 80. We golfed yesterday after a long layoff and did pretty well and we also turned in our ballots since we voted by mail.

October 31, 2014

Alesa paddled this afternoon and Craig and Janet came in about 4 for a weekend stay. They will be leaving Sunday about noon since they have decided to begin the process of moving from Naples up to the Tampa area and will be scouting out homes.

After Paddle Ball this morning we took the material collected at the TBR drive last night to Lake Hills School and they were elated. We also attended a few of their activities and made sure Gabbie, a clown who belongs to TBR, had what she needed to entertain the kids.

October 30, 2014

Tonight TBR had their quarterly social and we also conducted a clothes drive for the Lake Hills Special Needs School. We collected over 30 bags of clothes and other necessities. We also had a 50-50 and the winner donated his winnings back to the school.

October 29, 2014

We left Jeff's at about 8AM on Monday, just after everyone had left for school or work. It was an uneventful trip and we arrived home about 11:45PM. We did get to watch Monday night football on NFL Mobile and arrived home just as Dallas was losing in OT.
