FINISHING WITH VISITS IN SOUTH HALF OF FLORIDA

Many activities in our FLORIDA SKP RESORT, always keeping busy!!

Last week and this, we are visiting relatives down here:

The nieces with their families near Port Charlotte - 

The kids sure love on us while there.  They are home schooled, but still participate with school children in competition -  Orchestra they got Superior rating over all!!

Three of the great, great nieces,
Amanda, Olivia and Kaeylan

I am waiting for group pictures of the families since I forgot to take my camera!!  But I will have them!!

Amanda's awesome cooking/baking area.
You wouldn't know that she does so much,
to look at her family's bean pole figures.
They look great!!!
That is all spices on the wall - - she even boasts
three kinds of flour and how much she goes through
in a week.

Awesome Christmas Cactus Blooms!!

We are went to Melbourne to visit a nephew and his wife - -

On our way out to eat.
We left soon after dinner because it was
at least 2 1/2 hours drive in the dark
to get back to the motorhome.

Connie, Tim, Gary and Audrey.
We had a great time catching up on family news.
Both of their boys are definitely out on their own now. 

Here at the park last Saturday evening, they had "How to make a smokeless campfire"  and Gary was surprised to learn more that he had not heard before.  How it is made from largest on the bottom to smallest on the top with dryer lint in between the top couple layers.

I got the picture while on my walk before the
sun was down.

Gary went for the demonstration.
He was amazed that it does burn from the top, down,
causing it to remain smokeless.
I guess this Boy Scout found he could learn more!!

We got pictures from our oldest son on Saturday that he got his new replacement car after his accident settlement.  I think that he was glad to be through with the rental.

Sunset orange!!
This has four little seats,
so he can now pick us up at the airport when needed.

Sunday, February 24th, we stayed after church to have dinner made by the youth to fund their camping fund.  It was delicious and well attended.  We sure have had more than our share of deserts in the last couple days!!!

The kids did an awesome job!!

After dinner we stopped by the pasture next to the church, where the goats were kept.  Richard, we knew you would appreciate these after what you have bought!!

When back at the SKP Park, we had an ice cream social in the afternoon  We sure didn't need the calories - - but had to socialize!!! 

Such jolly servers!!!
There is Jeane on the right, our 96 yr old resident!
She still goes north in the summer!!
The grandkids take care and check on her,
 but do not live with her.  She is so jolly!!

Rolly and Pauline next to Gary are our neighbors
in the overflow area of the park.

This is the library in the clubhouse here at the park.  It is very nice, the committee does a wonderful job with it!!  I keep thinking of the different committees here in the park and am thinking where I might best like to volunteer my time.  It is expected that all the members volunteer in some way to make it a very attractive and fun park. 

I will add the family pictures after I receive them.  

We did breakfast and the weekly park meeting this morning beginning at 7:50.  I rarely get up that early, but felt I needed to get up to date before we leave.  

Stay tuned.
