HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Happy Valentines Day from the flowers at Busch Gardens!  Aren't they pretty?









I like tall men!  These guys are a part of the Kareebu Jungala section of the Gardens.  There are these tall men and other larger than life creatures. 










 Do you remember Paul Revere and The Raiders.  Paul does not do that much singing any more.  But was funny with his comments and jokes.  The lead singer was good and the band helped make the show a good one.Since our Grandson David played the drums during school I like to watch the different drummers.  I always wonder why the drum heads are not broken as hard as some of them play them. and this drummer had facial expressions like he was beating the devil out of his drum set.
Would you like to walk with the flamingos?  I did just that.  We could not believe that these "keepers" were walking these birds!  so I ask the person if this happened often.  Usually first thing in the morning we open the gate and the first few that come out get to walk the circle of the park.  And they acted as tho they knew where there were going.  No nonsense, it is walking time!!!



What a week no, two weeks we have had.  First the week of the Brooksville Rally and then -----  back to Charlies on Sunday.  Monday we took off for the Webster Flea Market.  It has rained and was misty.  But we went to meet our 4 friends from Alabama.  I found 1 good teaspoon.  Martha and Anita were looking at everything.
The sun did come out, but late and almost the whole field was empty of vendors.  Usually the field is full and busy.  We ate at the Butterbean diner.  A good simple buffet.  The fried chicken was very good and we polished off the meal with a strawberry sundae.  What else?     Tues.  we stayed home, but did go out for supper with Merrill and Martha at Bob Evans.  Oh, We also  had lunch with Austin and Linda and stopped by the Seffner YMCA to check out their facilities as Linda needs to excercise that new knee she got the last of January.
Wednesday we took Merrill and Martha to the Plant City Flea market and then to Parksdale for our treat of strawberry shortcake or sundae.  When we took them back to Lazy Days we walked in to get a cup of coffee and met Steve and Nancy from Muncie.  They were surprised to see us.  They were there for repairs on their RV.  We took them to see another campground and stopped by Charlies to see our site.  Back to Lazy Days and a few last minutes with Merrill and Martha.  Have enjoyed seeing these friends from Alabama and will miss them until the next time, down the road, when we meet again. We enjoyed their friends Anita and Cubby.
Thursday was a full day at home.  I did laundry and we both did those things that need to be done.  Friday we headed for Busch Gardens and Saturday Ernie hopes to get new batteries for the RV.  That will be 6 that he has purchased this year.  In January it was 4 for the "house".  Sunday will be a day of rest and then the whole busy schedule starts again on Monday with a trip to the Florida State Fair.    So we shall see how often I keep you posted on our activities.   Have a good night.   jkc
