SUNDAY

 We went to the BiCentennial Pool and had a fine swim.  Now Elizabeth is cookin a stir fried steak mixture.

Yesterday I won $5 at Ocala Bets Poker.  Pretty lame, but at least I did not loose.

Hot but nice just the same.

Homosassa Park and Grumpy Gators

Mary and Ruth stayed the night and we had a grand time catching up on stories.  We still all talk too much about illness, but that is just what we do as old people. Here we are at the best restaurant in the world, Van der Vaulk out on the patio area. Seemed odd without Chuck.  Perhaps next year he will be down here. We all had some of the seafood special. The women all had salmon.   I had flounder stuffed with crab, a bit off diet, especially for the French fries which I managed to get extra crispy.  No house chips available.  The French onion soup was good. We had a great waitress, dark haired, friendly and cute.  Melly, the owners daughter was there as well. She is always so friendly with us. As we ate, the sunset.  It was not dramatic color, but fine ambiance just the same.  Along side us were about a dozen Netherlands folk speaking their language.  As the sunset the old lamps came on and they started up some of the firepits....

While Elizabeth had an appointment, I had a nice meal here; I went to Natalia's   http://www.nataliaspizza.com/ where there is a lot of food other than pasta and pizza.  I ate some oxtail with yucca and a salad and washed it down with a double expresso. Susan took us on a tour of the art displayed in the City Hall, including her own framed poem in the poetry section.  It was a mixed showing, with some things incredibly stunning and others rather poor.  We had a great time. Here is Susan with her framed poem.  It was not a poem I could understand because I lack all the background in the work and thinking of the famous psychologists mentioned, but Elizabeth could follow each nuance.  A fine poem with meanings well below the surface. Here is a sample of what I liked: This woman worked in what is called acrylics and used a technique of putting the color over an oil that spread it around and shaped it.  I don't much like abs...

TRIP TO ST SIMON'S ISLAND IN GEORGIA

We started our trip to St Simon's Island, Georgia to  celebrate our first date, 30 years ago.   However, we planned the trip before we remembered the anniversary.   We are old now, and that is the way the old function. It did not matter.  We enjoyed celebrating our first date.  It was a grand place to visit for a few days. DAY ONE  We got on the road in good time.  So much easier to pack a car than pack for an airplane. We skipped I-95 and added a few minutes to the trip by going back roads.  Well worth the longer trip.  Sometimes the road cut through dense forest.  Sometimes farms showed up with beef cattle.  Most were Black Angus, but one field was scattered with an assortment of colors and included some calves. There was no traffic and the surroundings were more accessible from these two lane roads than they ever seem from an expressway. We seemed to have plenty to talk about. There is something very nice about conversa...
