Happy Thanksgiving

Lenny and I want to to wish all our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you have a wonderful holiday with plenty of turkey. We are thoroughly enjoying the warm Florida weather. Yesterday we got to see Stumpy, the alligator, sunning on the banks of the Peace River. Today we are helping Mom and Dad celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary.

Happy Thanksgiving.

In Florida, Are We Snowbirds?




Today we arrived in Wauchula, Florida. We will be in Florida for the next 4 weeks. Sunday we left South Carolina and spent two nights in the Savannah, Georgia area. Mom and Dad left Lenny and me at home while they did some touristy things. Sunday afternoon, they toured Fort Frederica, a fort and settlement established by James Oglethorpe when he settled the Georgia colony. Monday they went into Savannah and had lunch at Mrs Wilkes' Boarding House. Mom and Dad were there 14 years ago and always wanted to go back. People stand in line to eat there. It is boarding house style, 10 people to a table, and the food is served like the old boarding house. When people are finished eating, they are required to carry their plates and utensils to the washroom. After lunch, Mom and Dad went to tour Fort Pulaski. When they got there, they found that a movie, directed by Robert Redford, was being filmed there. The movie, "The Conspirator" will be about the Lincoln assassination. The cast and crew broke for lunch so Mom and Dad got to meet Robert Redford. Mom even got her picture taken with him. He said the movie will be out sometime next year. It is hard to believe that he is now 73 years old. After Savannah, we stopped in St Augustine for one night on our way here. Now that Lenny is in Florida, this is the 29th state he has visited since becoming a member of the gypsy band. Since arriving here, we have already run into 3 couples and pets that we had met at other parks.

Goodbye Chu, We Will Miss You


Today our good pal and cousin, Chu, went to doggie heaven. Your Mom & Dad, Dave & Pat, will certainly miss having you greet them when they come home. We had a lot of fun together. Keep a place for us in doggie heaven.
Your pals,
Trike & Lenny

Fall Foliage


Well, Mom & Dad took us for a road trip today to see the fall leaves. Lenny & I didn't see what all the hoopla was about but it was fun. Mom made Lenny & I chicken & rice for lunch which was real good. We got to see this great water fall and we rode the Blue Ridge Parkway. We drove 248 miles and we were tired when we got home but we had a great time.

We will be here until Nov. 15th and then we head to Florida. On the 12th of Nov. Dad & Mom are going to the Thanksgiving dinner at the park, sure hope they remember to bring us some turkey back. Well guess this is all for now.
