Sunday in Florida

It's Sunday in Florida.. in spite of the cold temps overnight (30 degrees), the Sun is shining and when you are "in the Sun," it's warm.   The solar system is putting out lots of juice.  God is good.

We Skyped with our son Phil last evening.   In spite of going between two cell phones for Internet (his and ours), the connection was pretty good.   We got caught up on our mail and how the new furnace is running.   We got a letter that from the guy we rent hanger space from that stated that we're needed to move our airplane to a new parking space by the end of the month.  

This is our 1970 Aero Commander Lark 100-180 at the Pontiac airport.  We have a couple of fold-up bikes that we can put in the luggage bay.  The guy we've rented hanger space from for over 10 years has need of the space occupied by our plane, so we will be on the phone tomorrow, looking for a new home. 

When we bought the Lark a long time ago (for not much money), it needed wing repair and a lot of other TLC before it would be able to fly.  When the work was finished, we found hanger space for it at Dalton Airport in Flushing only 2 miles from our house.  We've enjoyed flying it ever since. 

Our latest repair over the past couple of years was a COMPLETE re-skinning of the wings.  They re-skinned wings were put back on the airplane this Fall and the airplane received it's "clean bill of health." We've enjoyed the hanger we've been in but we look forward to what God has for us in a new place.

Back to Florida.   When we left Flushing for Florida this Fall, Sheryl brought her "herb garden."

The herb garden rides in the trailer when we are traveling and when we stop, it comes out in the Sun.  It has survived the trip so far.  We have fresh Basil, Oregano, Chives, and Rosemary pretty much whenever we need them.  Yum yum.

There are a lot of squirrels around the campground (don't go there- LOL - I can tell some of your wheels are turning and you are laughing).   I mean the real kind - gray with a bushy tail.   And this particular variety doesn't sit still hardly long enough to get a pic.  I call 'em A.D.D. squirrels.  One particular squirrel was rooting around the outside of our trailer for acorns (there are a bazillion of 'em on the ground).

I'm glad we don't have to "forage for food."  Sheryl keeps the travel trailer well stocked.  Lot's a canned stuff too, in case we can't make it to town. 

Each day seems to go by quickly.   We get up and wonder what will we do today.  By the time we read our Bibles and pray, cook lunch and/or dinner over the Rocket Stove (precious blog), Go for a walk, adjust the solar panels, refresh the water supply, start the generator, and other necessary things, check our email and write this blog, the time seems to go by.  It's nice not being on a "schedule."

 

Bye for now.

Rog and Sheryl
