Even more tame deer

Acted like they wanted to play through.

Tame Deer

Encountered these creatures on the back nine. Our shots did not bother them one bit as we couldn't hit the fairway anyway.

Golfing at Disney's Osprey Ridge Golf Course

Played golf with Jeff Allen at one of Disney's courses on a mid-70's sunny day in Kissimmee, Fl. Ginger had dinner waiting for us when we were done. Yum.

The Allen's of Moravia & Haines City FL

We went out last night (Monday night early) to CiCi's for Senior night (reduced pricing of course) to have the pizza buffet. Never knew there was that many seniors in the area. It was continually out the door waiting to get in.
We caught up with Jeff & Ginger [former Monarch employee] Allen today and went to Lakeland for the Snowbird Extravaganza 2010 at the Lakeland Center Exhibit Hall. The place was packed with RVers and regular snowbirds for give-aways, senior information and free entertainment. Stopped back to their winter home in Haines City for a visit.

Davenport, south of Orlando

Weather still good. Not hot like last week, but supposed to improve later in the week. It was 72 today after a overnight thunderstorm. At Themeworld RV resort for the week. Will be seeing Ginger (a long time Monarch employee) and her husband, Jeff Allen, from Moravia tomorrow when we go to a SNOWBIRD EXTRAVAGANZA in Lakeland. Had some water problems, but Keith diagnosed the problem, received the part today and installed it. He's soooooooooooo good. Now we have instant water again!

Last day in Ocala area

Played golf again with Aylesworths at Ocala Golf Club and the usual pitcher of beers. Gloria prepared dinner and Linda a Carrot Cake to end our wonderful ten day stay in the area. On to Davenport, FL Sunday for a week.

Hot Days

Did some pool time on Tuesday. Wednesday tried to sit in the sun and read my book, but it became too hot and had to go inside. Sorry!

Golfing on January 18th

Linda and I got out on a beautiful Monday at Ocala Golf Course with former Homer/Cortland friends, Jim & Gloria Aylesworth. We all played good and the rewards at the Club House with pitchers of Bud Lite ($5.50 each Cathi and Scott) and popcorn completed the day after dinner later.

Ocala, FL

FINALLY, the weather has improved. We're in Ocala and the temperature today was 72. Drove into this campground and there were people swimming in the pool! We actually wore shorts today for only the second time since we left home.

O'Brien FL (formerly known as Dobbs Hole)

Visited Keith's x-father-in-law [Bob Hollenbeck and his wife Louise] in O'Brien Florida for a couple of days. They took us around the area and we saw the infamous Suannee River. Visited their neighbor, 98 year old Harry Wells at 5 PM each day for for his daily Miller High Life. Watched some cave divers in the Santa Fe River. Played some cards and today, January 14th, it was time to move on.

De-icing the coach

Getting ready to move on to White Springs and hopefully warmer weather. Pulled in the slides and surprise "look out for ice". Survived low 20's at night. Beautiful sunsets and yes, we all got up at 6:20 AM [27 degrees] to watch the sunrise.

Uh-Oh

We're still looking for Keith!!!!!

Bald Eagle in Panacea, FL

Awesome site on a c-c-cold day in Florida.

Getting Warm in Florida

Trying to stay warm in frigid Florida so started a fire! Three new pictures on 1-5-10, see below.

Low, low tide

We all went down the road from Pendell's [1 1/2 miles] to Ochlockonee Bay at low tide at 10:44 AM.

First week of the cold New Year

Yes Virgina, it is cold here too. Out of the State Park at Sopchoppy, FL to Panacea, FL on the Gulf of Mexico and staying a week with Pat Pendell (Brian Pendell's[Kelley] mother. Both Brian & Kelley drove down January 2 (22 hours) with the dogs to spend the week sight seeing. Found the [new] Panacea Moose Lodge #2510 and had Shepherd's Pie Monday night there.
