We are "on the road again"....

Hi Everyone: well, we are on the road again this winter, traveling in Florida for the month of February--got some interesting pics recently: the one above is a Hot air balloon which was trying to get aloft but landed right in front of us at Thousand Trail campground--fortunately campers came and helped him bring it down--glad it wasn't landing on my Beaver....


This picture is one of a few I took of this SandHill Crane-- she is sitting at her nest with what I heard is a large egg beneath... how cool is that??? Maybe I'll see the baby sand hill...

we hope that everyone is surviving the cold and snowy winter in the Northeast--spring can't be too far away-- easy for me to say, while in Florida, right?? My brother, Larry and his wife, Nancy came down for a week to visit us in January--we sure enjoyed our time with them.
Our daughter from Atlanta and her family will be coming down for spring break--cannot wait to see them---
We are hoping to get over to Disney world in the next week and also to Merritt Island Wildlife Park during our stay here in Orlando.
Keep well, we'll plan on updating the blog again. Marcia & Butch

Winter is upon us...



We have been feeling the winter this year--went into CT for 3 weeks during the Holidays to have the "winter experience once again"--I guess we had been missing it, living in Florida these past 6 winters....
Then when we returned to Florida, we were hit with low temps of 30/40 degrees for a few weeks... but the warmth has returned to South Florida--in case any of you Northerners want to enjoy it--come on down....
