Ringing in the New Year

We had a very big day today! We're still at the RV park where my Grandparents wintered, and we have been hosting happy hour every day for all of Grampy's friends. ( Happy Hour comes early here, 3:00)
The guy from the Ocala Newspaper came today to do the story on our trip, and as everyone does, he LOVED my Grampy and stayed for almost 3 hours! (including happy hour) Grampy loved every second of it and was smiling from ear to ear the whole time! They are going to run it Wednesday January 4th as a feature, and feature it on Ocala.com. I am so lucky to have him as my Grandfather. No matter how bad his situation is, he smiles and jokes through it all!
Grampy's buddies have him talked out of going to Key West, it is a 11 hour drive from where we are now, and there are too many "vantrestites" there!!! I think we are going to head up to Orlando, and Cape Canaveral before heading home instead. It has been a fantastic trip. I will remember and treasure this experience forever!

  1. Key West is interesting with all the people that get off the cruise ships, but the drive is long. Didn't see any "vantrestites" but I'm sure there are all types of folks down there. Looks like the weather has been decent for you also!

  2. This whole adventure just wants to make us sing, What a Wonderful World! God bless you all.
