WELCOME TO PENSACOLA FLORIDA

Our last day of cleaning restrooms at Dreher Island State Park in SC, we had a good viewing of the deer.  They were crossing the road after watering at the lakes edge first thing in the morning.  First time we got a decent picture of the strange one.



A lot of white on this one!!

















Our travels through Georgia and Alabama were uneventful until we were nearing Florida and called in to our campground in Pensacola.  We found that our site might not be available until late in the day since we were arriving a few days early.  Since our days on the road usually end early, we decided to stop at Wind Creek Casino in Atmore AL.  They always welcome you to stay in their parking lots.  I wonder why??

A few days later we drove back to Atmore and stopped at David's Catfish House for seafood for lunch.  Yum-m-m and the ambiance was neat. 

When we arrived at Drifters RV Park, we dropped the Jeep, changed clothes and went on to church.  We decided on the spur of the moment to stop in at Olive Baptist Church rather than drive across town to the church we had attended before.  When walking in and seeing the size of it, we were not sure that we would like something so large.  We like to feel at home!!

We got there for their introduction to the Christmas season and their first program which was that evening.  Notice the eleven grand pianos!  They were on loan from a store in Pensacola for their Keyboard and Carols Concert that evening.  After setting up housekeeping that afternoon, we vegged out and did not go to the concert though.  It sure was our loss as the sampling that morning was awesome!!  The sermon was good also and we left feeling blessed and deciding to try Sunday School next week as well.  And that turned out to be great and welcoming.

Wish I'd had a Raggedy Andy suit for Gary!!



Wouldn't that have been cute??

Down the road a piece we happened upon this house ready for the Christmas season!!

Do you suppose the snow is manufactured??  Wish I had shrubs to decorate??

Last evening we went to Olive's second concert of the season and invited Audrey's nephew and family to go along with us.  It was very nice and we went back to the motorhome for pizza afterward.  The boys were very intrigued by the motorhome and Issiah was very inquisitive asking Gary many questions.

We are looking forward to being with them again since they are right here in Pensacola!

The Children of the World Concert held the boys interest!!  So all was good.



We learned of the children's hardships and near death states before they were rescued and treated for malnutrition and contaminated drinking water!



The children here were from Uganda, Nepal and the Philippines.




No missed beat here.


















We were clapping and wishing that we could dance along with them!!
It is time to stop and go to the airport to pick up Audrey's sister, coming south from Ohio.  So long for now.
