1/5/2014. Wednesday!!

Guess what day it is!!!!!  It's HUMP DAY !!!!!!  Just four more days left and we will be turning our home around and heading for Georgetown !!!!! What a wonderful weather week we have had, i heard a little cooler tomorrow, but back again in the mid 80's over the weekend!!! We have rode our bike 10-12 miles the last few days but got up this morning and the front tire was flat!!! So no riding today!!! Paula shuffled me around town looking for a new tire, bought 2, but neither will work so that will have to be a tomorrow job for Rodney and Jim ( I'm not much at knowing what to look for in a bike tire!!)

Yesterday after a   l-o-n-g bike ride Paula wanted to try out our kayak as she has ever rode in one so off we went around the harbor and rode out into Lake Monroe!!   We had a great time, but wow!! what workout!!!  I'm out of shape!!! Ha.  I will attached a few of the 20 pictures Rodney took of us playing around in the harbor!!!! Today we settled up with the Marina on the charges for our stay here as they have no one at the office to take any money Friday till Monday Morning, and we plan to be gone early around 7:30am!!!! Jim took us this evening to Winter Springs ,a suburb of Orlando, to a restaurant WAY out in the country, called The Black Hammock restaurant. It is famous for their farm raised Aligator meat !!! We had a sampler platter of several ways the chef prepares this wonderful tender meat!! We walked around the area and enjoyed the beautiful view before having dinner!! Pics attached!! 

We have truely enjoyed our time here in Sanford, and the special time with Paula and Jim!!!

Just a few more days before we depart from here so we said we were going to make a list tomorrow of anything we wanted to get done or revisit before we leave!!! They are very special friends!!!

I will keep you updated !!! Love to all, Ms. Fran and Capt Rod
