Now that's better!!

Now in Onlando, FL [Buena Vista area] for 7 weeks at Cypress Pointe Resort enjoying the "nice" weather. Spent a day with Brenda & Dick Hollenbeck at their new retirement home in Lake Alfred. Also made it back to Jane, Randy & Amanda Park's rental home in Haines City for 3 days. Had a great time at each. What's next Dear?
