Yes, I am finally in Florida, but I still can't escape the cold as it is going down into the 30's tonight. Yikes! It's been like that since we left home on December 6th. The good news is we have bright sunshine today after a rainy day yesterday. Tomorrow we are heading to Ft. DeSoto in St. Petersburg which is a jewel of a park. Pictures to come. Tonight it's just the KOA here in Starke.
We encountered our first "Left Laner" today on the Interstate. These are drivers who get into the left lane, stay there no matter what, and cruise at 65. Very dangerous strategy if you ask me, and infuriating to to those desiring smooth traffic patterns. We also had several cars pass us on the left, move into our lane, and then slow down so we could exercise our brakes. Hmmmmm........
We stay mostly in the right lane chugging along at 65 as the world races by us. Today I was able to go a little faster as the Interstate in Georgia is wide and smooth. Good day overall as we get closer to the finish line in Ft. Myers.
I neglected to mention my friend Tara Gardner yesterday as another inspirational person battling cancer. She is a person who lights up any room she enters and I wish her the best in her battle.
There are so many people facing challenges and hurting this Christmas Season. We all need to reach out as much as we can and be thankful for the blessing we have!
Here is a picture from Monday night in New Bern as we visited with (counter clockwise) Ed and Mary Ann and Al and Elena
This pretty much finishes what I have been calling our "Kareem Abdul Jabbar farewell tour". A new venue almost every day but no Cadillac like Kareem got. We have had just the best time. It's as if our journey south has become the whole reason for the trip rather than the destination. So many great people have warmed our hearts along the way!!!! Thank you all! We are blessed!
