Home from Fort Wilderness


Hi, we are back, and we had fun... only funny thing... We ended up spending $92.00 for the weekend. It wasn't supposed to cost anything... Long story. She reserved 3 sites, they only gave her two, there was just 3 of us, and we only needed 2 sites... so, our site was used for the screen house... so... they credited her for one night, at $42.16 and that happened to be out site... Their bill came to $135.00 approximately... so that means the credit came to us... But the sites coming to around 225.00 or so should be split 3 ways correct.. 3 parties camping, so that would be about $75.00 a couple... but... nothing was mentioned about that.. instead she was going back to see if she could get a credit on her bill as well, reducing it to only $185.00 for the weekend, which would make the fair share between couples even less... And... on top of all that, we laid the money out for the Major League Devil Rays game at Disney in May, and the Red Sox game in Tampa, all of which came to about $150.00... And when she was going to pay us back for them, I told her no because of the trip to Disney... Needless to say at a time when money is tight for.. I will remember this the next time we go are going to lay the money out for any games or anything... Needless to say, we are always patient, and willing to lay the money out... Well, those days are over...

Anyway, it was a nice weekend... cool at night, damp too, which is not the best circumstances.. and I think we need a new air mattress. Al and Linda came out, and Al said he wants to go to a Red Sox Spring training game is we can get tickets.

Here is a picture from the weekend...

It is Sunday...


DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME... that means we turn the clocks back, and get an extra hour of sleep, which to me is no big deal, although I love it when it gets dark early, but that doesn't last for ever...


Table clothes are on sale at Kohls... I need to get one...


Will go down stairs and cut my pattern...


I am going to do what ever it takes to clean the bathroom....


Have to make the scrap book for Linda and Al...


Started Laundry...


Maybe we should do a fire in the Chiminea


...and we are going to walk to Publix..


Camping next weekend...


So that is my day... hope to post more when the time comes...


Have a good one to who ever is reading this...


Oh, and take this personality test... it is pretty good!

Oh... and I have a question.....

I was wondering... if anyone happens to read this blog.... (maybe)... I was told that the was a spot on some of my wedding pictures... and I don't remember where they came from... it might have been my cousins pictures.. anyway it was pointed out to me that the spot might have been my Dad's aura... anybody who knows about this stuff... Could that be...? Here is one of the pictures that has the "aura". If you are reading this, and care to comment... let me know... I may never hear anything... but in the event... let me know...



See, when Dad was at Duke, they had a fountain in the lobby, and when Melissa and I would be leaving the hospital (Melissa is my niece) we would stop in front of the fountain, and make a wish and throw in a piece of change.... My wish is that Daddy would walk again, and walk me down the isle at First Methodist Church of Oviedo... Well he never walked again... and almost a year after he passed away, George and I got married at that church, and we didn't walk down the isle, specifically, but I carried a picture of Daddy with me, and it was a picture taken of both of us at the alter with the pastor that has this spot... Do you think it is my Dad...?

Boston Red Sox won the 2007 World Series!!!!


Well we did it... Now in a week or so I am going to call the Spring Training camp and see if I can jump and get some gooooooood Spring Training tickets... I would like to find a campground in Lee County, and go down there to their home field... I know we have to take advantage of Fort DeSoto since we missed the weekend in September, and we have a credit...


Today it is in the 60's, I got up at 7:30, walked the dogs and watered the plants... My grapefruit trees are suffering alittle, and don't quite know what to do for them...


Next weekend we go camping out at Fort Wilderness.


Talked to Meta last night and she said that the trip to Germany is on for sure since Jon passed up a trip to Boston that same time next year... so George and I will have to save our wedding money for Germany, and start saving (if that is possible right now) for our cruise to Alaska... I do want to do that... So it will have to happen...


I really want my new car... and I wish I could get George to drive... The first appointment that he has that I can't take him to is November 28th, so it will be either him or Richie...


I think Dr. Freed is going to push him to go back to work next visit... which is 11-14... A day after Daddy's birthday....


Busy month coming up.... Next weekend is camping... the following week we have appointments all day on Wednesday... then the weekend to clean and get ready for Thanksgiving, and then Thanksgiving weekend, Meta and Rich and the kids will be down...with Mom...


I invited Janet and Jimmy to come over as well..... So I will get a Turkey Breast, and a fake Turkey Breast, and acorn squash, rutebaga, corn, green beans, red cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy. Maybe peas... don't want to get too much that will tempt George..., Oh yea and some rolls. I have to start putting out rolls...


For dessert will be pumpkin pie, and apple pie.


You know I realized I never posted a picture of our wedding... Well here goes... Hopefully more tomorrow...
