my blahg...: If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough excercise. (Farmer's Almanac 2010 quote)

I'll just fill most of this with photos, not text because I haven't kept up in a while and have forgotten some details...though they may come back as I look again at the pix,

...okay, it did.
So, a couple of weekends ago, we made a trip to Waycross to visit and to make a beach weekend out of it. The weather turned out to be unseasonably cold, AND I developed a mad, gross cold to make it even. Despite the conditions, we still had a great time and camped for a night at Hannah Park in Jacksonville, Fl. The desk attendant mentioned it was a very nice, quiet site...which was the truth after 1am when our neighbors went to sleep. They had a nice, large, warm camper beside their campfire and listened to a combination of country & popular tunes from the 70's, and an extended version of the "Deliverance" theme song. We listened to them reminisce about old times from our campsite, while we roasted marshmallows, ate strawberries and a had couple of beers and laughed.
We got as much sleep as possible before waking up for sunrise...a rare occasion for our sleeping habits.

Early morning introductions in the face and butt, it's so early... gross!!

Awesome breakfast of champions with the champion pancake maker. This time we found strawberries on sale at Publix so they were in the mix.

Our bike riding plans were dampened with rain that morning so we took showers, loaded up (b4 the rain) and headed on to Orlando to see some friends. Rudee had an introduction to 3 cats...slowly but steady. It was hilarious but you had to be there.
