Sisters
Like you two, I'm sure you're spending a lot of time thinking of our sweet Diane. Oh, how I miss her and I believe if she were still here she would just have to wear her trademark hat - healthy or not.
You two also look so sweet and mysterious in this picture. I miss you girlies.
Lots of love coming your way!

Birthday girl....
One of my favorite memories of mom is when she would be getting ready for work and run around the house adorned only in her slip, hose and curlers. Oh how I loved her scent of powder and freshly laundered clothes. Call me strange, but it still makes me all warm inside when I think about those days.
Love you girls!
Love you girls!

Happy Birthday Mom
I wish you were here to celebrate your 90th birthday. Do I have that right? I should go and look it up, but I doubt you care if I am off by a year - or two How time flies when one reaches 70. I hope you, dad, Jimmy and Diane have a big cake. Take a picture. I would love to see the four of you together and any other family members hovering around. I just wanted to say happy birthday and thank you for all you did in our lives. These pictures are fun ones. You could always make us smile. I love you Mom.

Good Morning Sisters!
It's early...... 5:22am. I've been up since 4am. Just couldn't sleep. Of course, Danny Boy was restless - worried about the awning since it's raining and blowing. Just decided to get up and see what I could get into. It'll be early bedtime tonight!
Late yesterday we went to the Anna Maria Island pier and did some people watching and ate ice cream (less the sprinkles, of course)! Yummm. We took the dog and he got so so so much attention. We saw lots of very interesting people - like these broads below.
We're still having a really good time. We wish we were in a different park though. This park is not bad but most people are really old. Don't get me wrong, I do like old people but it feels a little like a nursing home or maybe an assisted living 'resort.' Most of the people are permanent residents living in these cute little mobile home thingys - with about 10% being RVs of all sorts. Yesterday one of the permanent residents got a little confused about reverse - he backed his car into his across-the-street neighbor's front porch - nearly knocked it off and about gave the old lady living there a heart attack. That got everyone in a tizzy! You would have thought someone had been murdered. That's all everyone talked about all day yesterday. Oh well, you gotta get your excitement somewhere!
It's raining today - but 77 degrees - so we'll have to get creative about what we get into.
Talk to you girls soon.

A couple of days ago, I went to a craft bazaar with the lady across the road from us. As we were getting ready to leave I stopped at the very last table. The gal had OSU stuff so I asked if she was from Ohio. She said she lived in Canton now (except for winters) but grew up in German Village and went to St Mary's. As it turned out she is Margie Dunn's sister-in-law and I remembered her from the old neighborhood. Isn't that weird?! We're still having a really good time.

Old People Everywhere....
Well, one thing for certain - Florida is full of old people - some VERY old!
AND SISTERS......
We are having a wonderful time but I wish you girls were here to people watch with me. There are all kinds, shapes, nationalities and mindsets. Bicycles everywhere (of course, we have ours too and mine even has a horn to blast at the slowpokes!)
It's kind of cliquish here, too. We went to the ice cream social last night (bring your own bowl and ice cream costs 50 cents a dip! Such a deal). But people looked at us funny - like we were aliens - maybe because we look so darn young?! We had to hurry and eat and help clean up because we were running into Hymn Time! We might try our luck at bingo tonight - right up my alley, for sure!!
Where are you girls? Can't you participate? Do I have to give you a guilt trip like Lori always does to us, Susie?
Bye for now - love you.

Happy Trails Sisters!
Well, we are on our way to Florida this morning. We left late on Wednesday and only drove 250 miles. We stopped in Renfro Valley KY the first night and we were the only RV in this entire HUGE RV park! That was weird. Renfro Valley is quite an interesting place - big music center and lots of concerts throughout the year (the warm part of the year, that is). I bet Randy has some background/interesting stories about Renfro Valley?!
Last night we stayed in Perry TN (30 miles south of Macon). It is a beautiful park with lots of trees, a couple of ponds, nice facilities and free WIFI and cable. The only problem with this place is that it rained the entire time we were there.
So now we are headed south again on I75 with our final destination at Palmetto FL. It's rainy but promises to warm up later today. I can't wait to get settled for a month so we can put things in their proper places.
Well, I started a blog about our adventures but I can't find it at the moment. I'll share when I do. Of course, that's just what we all need - another blog to follow!
I love you sisters!
Happy Trails to you both - until we meet again!
