While in Port Charlotte and the aunt, mother and sisters went shopping at an Amish community, the two young husbands stayed home with the children. But not Gary, he went to the Punta Gorda for a GM Muscle Car Show!! I always say, you see one you see them all. Right??
Of course, this time they made a liar out of me as they had a classic RV of time gone by - -
as well as other antique automobiles.
I remember these cars above when they were first off of the assembly lines. Hm-m-m-m, does that make us antiques??
I guess these two were more in line with antiques.
Then the weekend after returning, we went over into Alabama to Gulf Shores Beach for a drive. More beach and more jellyfish, and much more wind!! Too windy to take pictures.
We did see this awesome sail boat, though not in the water.
Our friend Miki called asking me to lunch at her home. She was a neighbor of my brother and befriended Pearl and I while we spent so much time in Pensacola with Claude when he was ill.
I always have such a nice visit with her and she cooks such great Japanese cuisine. We have to catch her while we can as she has been traveling back to Japan for long visits with her family, as well as traveling around the US visiting her children and grand children since her retirement. She called me today as she just returned on Tuesday. It is time for another visit!!
Gary and I go often to WindCreek Casino since that is about all there is to do when it is so rainy here. Pearl, they have added a new lighthouse/fishtank since you were here.
It is very pretty and some beautiful fish in it!!
Gary got up early to find frost on the Jeep!! Yes, it is too cold here to suit us. But then I guess it is winter!! No, I was not up early enough to see it. I sleep in as often as I can!!
This past weekend we drove over to Orange Beach in Alabama for an Art/Craft and Car Show. However, there was not any fine art to be found, just crafts.
But there were some nice Classic cars and a Rat-rod. You can see Gary with his nose down close checking it out. It was tough to stay warm though!!
Time to stoke the furnace!! The funnel cakes were nice and hot!! We did not hang around long after refueling. It was easier to go home and veg-out the rest of the day.
Today I went out to Applebee's for lunch with Lana, a lady from our Sunday School class. We had a wonderful time getting better acquainted. They have lived many places across the country because of his work and have been here only four years. Howard has not retired yet. They are a little younger than we are so they have much planning to do and decisions to make.
Check back with us and maybe we can get some more activities in before leaving the area in about four weeks. The time is coming upon us quickly!! Stay warm!!
