Happy Thanksgiving

I want to to wish all my friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with plenty of turkey. I am practicing eating turkey. Hopefully I will get a big juicy drumstick. Thursday we are going to Seminole, FL to spend Thanksgiving with Aunt Laura (Dad's sister) and Uncle Dave and their poodle, Rusty. I hope Rusty wants to play.

We are really enjoying our time here at Peace River. We have seen Stumpy the alligator, a majestic hawk, some deer and a wild pig. Early this morning, one of the wild pigs broke one of the park's water lines so we were without water for awhile. I am a little sad today as my friends Taffy and Snickers left today. It has been fun playing with them over the past six weeks at the various parks we have been to. Mom and Dad finally got to meet Judy and Bob, who they have corresponded with over the past year. Mom and Judy grew up in Emporium, PA so they have a lot of old times to talk about.

We will be at Peace River for one more week before we head back to the Suwannee River.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY VETERANS' DAY

Mom, Dad and I want to wish a happy Veterans' Day to all our veteran friends and family. We are so very proud of your service to our country.

We are now leaving the hustle and bustle of Orlando and the Disney World area to settle on the quiet banks of the Peace River in Wauchula, Florida. We will be here until December 1st enjoying the peace and quiet. My friends, Taffy and Snickers, are here also so I have them to play with. They are so much fun. Several other new friends we met in Orlando are also here.

Since we sold the trike, Dad has taken over the back room (garage area) of the trailer. Mom calls it,"the man room". Friends tell Dad he needs to get a small refrigerator for "the man room" so he can keep his beverage of choice cold. They even carpeted the room. I guess I want Dad to be comfortable so he will continue to help me with the blog.

This is all for now, so again "Happy Veterans' Day".

Three, Two, One...BLAST OFF!! Mickey Too

Sunday we had a road trip to do some sightseeing. Our first stop was the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. What a place! I got to see a space shuttle, all the rockets NASA has used in the past and the Astronaut Memorial, honoring all of the astronauts who died doing NASA work. We also visited the Canaveral National Seashore in Titusville, FL. On our ride, I also got to see a four point buck, a wild pig and two alligators. This was a wonderful and exciting day for me. We still have one more week in the Orlando area, so stay tuned.

Today Mom and Dad went to Disney World. I didn't get to go but they did get me a Mickey Mouse chew toy to play with.

Florida Has Gators

I didn't know what an alligator was until Mom and Dad took me to the Alligator Farm in St Augustine, FL. Mom insisted we get a picture with a real live gator. Mom is holding a live 2 1/2 yr old rare white gator. Thank goodness his mouth was taped shut because I didn't want to be his lunch. It is reportedly good luck to touch a white gator.

We are now in the Orlando area for the next three weeks. My friends Taffy and Snickers are also here so I have some friends to play with. Mom and Dad's friends John & Marcia and Matt & Connie are here also. Mom and Dad plan to visit friends who live in the area. We also plan to do some sightseeing but I won't be allowed to visit with Mickey Mouse at Disney World. We will be going to the Kennedy Space Center. That should be a "real blast".

Take care everyone and be safe!

YOU AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.....

Today, Mom and Dad sold our Goldwing trike thus ending our motorcycling days. The manager of the RV park expressed an interest in the trike. He made them an offer that was too good to be true so they accepted. So much for my trike riding days. Now that they sold the trike, I hope they don't decide to go and change my name.

Way Down Upon The Suwannee River

Today we left Holt, FL and came to the Spirit Of The Suwanee Music Camp RV Resort on the banks of the famous Suwanee River near Live Oak, FL. Much to my surprise, my friends Taffy and Snickers were here waiting for me. It it great seeing them again and playing with them. They are so much fun. I will be able to play with them here in Florida at various parks for the next seven weeks. LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

We enjoyed our time in Holt, FL. Mom and Dad got to spend a lot of time with their dear friends, Cliff and Dee Florence. They have been close friends for a long time. I also got to spend some time on the beach among the sea oats at the Gulf Islands National Seashore with the snow white sand.

BACK IN FLORIDA

Today we arrived back in my birth state of Florida. We will be in Florida for the next nine weeks. We really enjoyed our time in Louisiana visiting Harold and Nina Denton and their family. Mom enjoyed holding and feeding Harold and Nina's newest great-grand daughter. The Dentons really made us feel welcome.

Right now we are in Okaloosa County, Florida. This is the county where Mom and Dad were in the Air Force, met and got married. Both boys, David & Trevor, were born here and Dad was a cop here for more than 11 years. We will be here for 4 days then we head for the Suwanee River area to meet up with some of our RV friends, both two legged and four legged.

Take care friends!
