Our time in Fort Myers, Florida

We have enjoyed our time in the southern part of Florida.  We finally got to experience the temperatures in the low 80's.  It has been great.  It rains almost every night, but that is okay.  We went to The Ford Edison Winter Estate.  They have several of Edison's inventions.  Plus we learned a lot about his home life.  His wife and he loved botany.  They were great friends with Henry Ford and family. We also went to Sanibel Island.  What a wonderful place to play.  It has all the flavor of Mexico but you are still in the States, and white sandy beaches everywhere.  We also drove all the way to Key West.  That was a 5 hour drive from where we are staying.  Tom wanted to sit in the bar on the beach and have a beer.  Guess what.  The beach is all gated communities.  He was not happy.  So we went to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville and had a drink and called it good.  We have met some very nice people in this RV park.  One little girl Heidi and Teddy have struck up a very nice friendship.  She wants to take him for lots of walks.  He really hates it.  Yeah, right!!  She is all of 3 years old.  Talk to you soon.  We are headed to Port Richey, FL. from here.  Patty & Tom

Getting ready to leave San Antonio

We have enjoyed our time in San Antonio, but it is time to leave and go onto warmer climates.  We had a wonderful time New Years Eve with our friends.  The guys watched football.  Surprise! Surprise!  Us girls played Candyland with Zak, who is 6.  Guess what we decided that is a horrible game.  You cannot win, no matter what you keep falling down those stupid slides.  We finally all quit after about 45 minutes of trying to get somewhere.  We were all back at the beginning of the game.  Our campground put on a wonderful pancake feed New Years Day, complete with bloody Marys.  They sure made everything taste better.  We are headed to Florida and warmer weather, we hope.  Ruffles, Archie and Gails parrot fluffed himself up real pretty for me so I got a nice picture of him.  Talk to you soon.  Patty & Tom
