Florida Fun Continued

 

 

Florida seems like a distant memory here in the north country with temps plummeting once again.  We got some rain night before last which made for extremely slippery roads when it froze over night.  Many accidents and some roads were closed until road crews could get out and put down sand and salt.  The road going down to our lake house was closed as it is very hilly and can be like an ice rink at times.

This sure doesn’t look like outside my window now but was the view from our room at the hotel.

 

I am always fascinated by the beautiful flowers at the resort and love to take pictures of them.

There was a great art show going on while we were there.  We weren’t allowed to take any pictures inside but here are some of the pieces that were outside.  There was a whole display of these different eggs and they were a howl. Wish I could remember all of their names.  There were several paintings by a man from Maine of the Maine coast.

The day before we left a bunch of us went to a rather funky establishment.  We have driven by it many times but just thought it was a biker bar and might be a bit sketchy.  It’s called Alabama Jack’s and come to find out it is a pretty comical place.

This gal is 80 years old and dances with the customers.  She has 20 years on me but I couldn’t begin to keep up with her IF I could dance!  Her husband was sitting over on the side and they have been married 62 years.  He would come out and dance with her sometimes and it was so cute to see them together.

Here she has one of our guys that did a super job keeping in step with her.

As you can see she loves what she does!

I’d like to have that tiny waist!!  :o)

This shirt cracked me up.

 

It was fun, the food was good, there were lots of interesting people and it wasn’t sketchy at all.  :o)  Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Speaking of books, Needled Mom and I finished the book about Dick and Rick Hoyt, Devoted.  It is an amazing book and will leave you feeling uplifted and blessed.  This father has spent his life making life better for his son who was born with so many challenges.  Read it, you won’t be disappointed.
