We have been busy with all different things here in Florida. We have attended two different Arts and Crafts Festivals. One of them was right here in Lake Placid. It really surprises you when you attend this one. The town is small but they have a really pretty large festival with some really neat vendors. Then there was another one in the town North of here, Sebring. Both days for these festivals, the weather was pretty nice (for a change). The weather this year here in Florida has really been crazy - cool most of the time.
We had some friends from KC come over and spend the day with us. Mary and Doug came over on the 17th and we had a great time. We started off with breakfast here and then we took them to the Myakka State Park. This park is a nice park with some big alligators. Drove around and look at the different sites, etc. Saw some wild boars too. It was a nice day. After finishing the park, we stopped at a little restaurant in Myakka City - Suzy Q's. It was great to see Mary and Doug. They are heading back to KC area, on March 18.
Here are Mary & Doug:
Our friends, Don and Linda, came up from LaBelle, on February 18, had a good visit. We went out to eat at a new restaurant in Sebring - Cowboys. It was good. Then we came back to the trailer and played "Wizard" card game. Had a great time with them. Then last Saturday, we went down to LaBelle, and visited with them. Their park was having a hamburger cook-out. Then we played cards after that. Don and Linda were leaving the next day to head back to Alabama. Don got a call to return to work for 4 - 6 weeks.
We have been square dancing at least twice a week. We have met some great people through our square dancing and got good exercise doing it. This year the square dancing is at another park about 2 miles from here. We have assisted with lessons this year plus going to regular dances too. It's fun....
We have decided that we will leave this park on March 26 and start heading back towards KC. We are going to take our time going home this year. We are going to make some stops at Daytona Beach; Savannah, GA; Charleston, SC; and a few other ones. So we should probably be back to KC the first part of April. Have to be there on April 8 to have the taxes figured.
Next week, we are going to the Florida Strawberry Festival. This festival is at Plant City which is about 70 miles North of here. It is like a big state fair. It runs from today through March 14. But the best thing is they have the biggest, best strawberry shortcake ever!! We missed it last year so we wanted to make sure we got there this year. Will let you know how it is.
We have had a good time this year in Florida but it has been different than we had last year so we haven't decided where we are going next year.

It has been cold here in Arizona also. And we have had tons of rain. Everything is very green because of the rain. We will be here again next year. Good luck on deciding where you will go next year. Have a safe trip home. Missed seeing you this winter.
