THE NEXT LEG OF THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Good morning.  We have been having problems boasting on the blog until today.  Tuesday \Lane and Tina arrived.  We picked them up at the hotel and back to the boat, after stopping to buy groceries and have lunch at Ali-gators.   \Scott, Lane and I tried the alligator - a little chewy and not much taste really - but at least we tried. We enjoyed a wonderful evening with Jimmy and Joy and took a pontoon boat ride over to new friends - Ray and Bernie from Michigan \(they are Jimmy's son's in-laws who are renting a beautiful home for a couple of weeks.  We all went to the Elks club for supper yesterday - taco night - yum! Then back to Jimmy's place where all but me enjoyed a stay in the hot tub.  We are leaving today around noon and on to Fort Myers by supper.  Then off to Stuart and Lake Ockechobe to cross over Florida towards Miami by the end of the weekend.  The weather has been sunny and warmer every day (up to 79 yesterday) - so let's hope that keeps up.  Hope you are all well.  Kisses to my Chico - hope he is being a good boy.  love Carol and Scott \(and Lane and Tina).
