FRIENDS and strawberries

This is a line at Parksdale farms where all the "snow birds' come for a strawberry treat. It does curve around the side of the building.

Another shot of the line. You think it would take forever to get your strawberries. But it goes very fast.

these are the parfaits I keep writing about. Not that big, really. Better than the "boat" we used to get and split.---sometimes.

You can get a glimpse of the inside of this shop. Strawberry preserves, bread and cookies. Plus a variety of fresh vegetables and citrus fruits.

This is a GMC motorhome. It was parked next to us for a few days visiting their friends. The owner is a Doctor from Canada.

I wrote the blog before Ernie had posted the pictures.

Hi! today is Plant City flea market day. I think we have bought all the silver that market has for sale. 2 pieces for $1.00, Oh, No. I bought a sugar and creamer also.

But, while there we ran into friends from Penn. We have not found time for us to really get together. we just keep seeing them at various places.

On to Parksdale for our weekly treat. And to buy some pomuloes or however you spell those big fruits that are like grapefruit, but are not grapefruit. Just the same family. As we were leaving we met our neighbors, Linda and Austin. They had also had their treat. Austin thinks Ernie is going to have to get a bigger car, or a car with a bigger trunk.

So, shall we eat lunch out today? ok. Who refuses to eat out? Off to Lazy days.

Saw Linda and Austin again. They were waiting for some GMC (motorhome) friends.

And then Ernie said "Jane" look who is here. Karen and Alan from Rochester, IN.

So we invited them to lunch with us. (for those that do not know, if you have a card you eat lunch free at Lazy Days. Lazy Days is a big RV dealer) Ham & cheese sandwich, chips and your drink.

Home, to unload the fruit and veggies we bought at the flea market and Parksdale.

Oh, Ernie did buy some wrenches for Alan. Alan says when they are in a tight spot working on a machine they take an old wrench (double ended) and break it in two.

So, good old Dad stays on the look out for old, cheap wrench's.

Time to do chores? Tomorrow is Busch Gardens and Friday we need to clean up, wash clothes, etc. as we leave this area Sunday. And it is to be quite warms this week end. Really am not enthused about heading North.

Oh, Last evening a couple was walking by and stopped to talk. They live at Scipio, IN. We know where that is, go thru it on our way to Madison. They grew up in the Kent area West of Madison. They also knew Uncle Jimmy and others in the family from the Madison area. They have a trailer in this park.

We have seen more people in the last two days that we know or know someone they know, than we see in two or three trips to our hometown Meijer.

Go figure!

See you, jkc
