Florida 

Since my brother Bruce and I have never lived more than 10 miles from each other except for college, we agreed to meet in Florida in February. Beverly Hills, of course! Yes, In Florida there is a Beverly Hills and Hollywood, too! No, we’re not Beverly Hillbillies. So, on the news were manatees, which led Bruce, his wife Anna, and I to go to Crystal Springs-Three Sisters- to unwrap the gifts it holds for us. Took the trolley from the Visitor Center to the springs. We were wowed!

On Sunday, our cousin Val arrived. The sunset that evening at Fort Island was spectacular accompanied by drumming heard on the beach.

 

The Butterfly Rainforest delighted us!

Life’s Journey

The Newest Part of the Journey Begins!

After closing on the sale of my house on Friday, November 6, I stayed with friends until all the minutiae of the finances were straightened out. On Wednesday, I headed down to my cousin’s in Lancaster, PA to have fun visiting and work on genealogy. From there, I headed to my oldest brother’s in Mechanicsville, MD to have fun visiting and share in the preparation and feasting at their Thanksgiving table. Then it was to my daughter’s in NC enjoying an early Christmas-spirited time with the family before heading to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which actually started in Cherokee NC.
