Sunday we went to church again with Bob & Sandy and then to Bob Evans Restaurant in Sebring (if you check back, you will see this is a repeat -- they serve breakfast all day and we love it!).
Monday we all went to Ft Myers for the day. Went to an RV dealer and looked at some new motorhomes, to BassPro looking at guns, and to a fantastic seafood restaurant, The Shrimp Shack, for a late lunch. On the way back we saw a dead 'gator' lying in the emergency lane and Bob (being an FSU alum & diehard) allowed that there were probably some Seminoles hiding nearby that had something to do with that.
Tuesday was a work day -- LaVerne borrowed Sandy's washer & dryer and took care of some laundry. I helped Bob work on his sprinkler system. The well diggers from a couple of weeks ago had dug up a couple of the sprinkler lines and we found and replaced the broken sections.
After working all day on the sprinklers, we went to a local restaurant called Schoonie's for their Tuesday night special - $1 tacos! Delicious!
Wednesday was movie day -- We had heard from a few folks about the movie "Do You Believe", so we went to see it in Sebring early in the afternoon. It was really good and we would recommend it to everyone! Back to Schoonie's for supper - fried chicken wings night, 45 cents apiece. Later we went with Bob & Sandy to their small group Bible study - here's a picture of two beautiful ladies headed out!
There are several resident Sandhill Cranes in Lake Placid. One lady seems to have about 4 of them in her yard all the time - we know she must feed them. Also, there is a pair (male & female as God ordained) that has a young chick (cranelett?) that just roam around through the neighborhood. We saw them several times - once they came through Bob & Sandy's front yard.
Thursday was a day of R&R - made a grocery run to stock up for traveling and got in a lot of 'back porch time' watching the birds and lake.
Today (Friday) was travel day -- we have really enjoyed our 3 weeks with Bob & Sandy at both their home and also camping at Lake Manatee. We are going to miss them tremendously, but it's time to move on. We pulled out early headed north and rode all day. We took Hwy 27 straight up through middle Florida to the Florida Turnpike and must have hit every red-light in every small town along the way. It took us over 3 hours to go the 100 miles to the turnpike. After that it was a good ride up the turnpike, I-75 north, and I-10 west. After a 375 mile day, we stopped for the night at Torreya State Park near Chattahoochee, FL west of Tallahassee. Tomorrow we'll make the second leg of the trip to our next destination - Dauphin Island, AL.
