Since my B-12 is very low I had an egg muffin this morning at Mc Donalds. I really do not like them but is has eggs, cheese and meat on it, which they say is good for you. I normally would not eat this but what can I say.

After we had breakfast and taken Camy to school we went to Sanford. We ran into this Thrift store, real old, unfortunately they had nothing I liked. Just to discover those stores and wander around is fun on its self.

On our way we also saw those ostriches at a farm.

At Home Depot we had to get something when we walked by the Christmas department. They do have such lovely things here. Just a little while and all streets are decorated with lights and everything. We will show you pictures by then.

Day 77 – October 8

Today we went to Sanford, about a 45 minute drive from school. We first visited the harbor and the beautiful view of Lake Monroe. No wind, no people, just us and a couple of birds. We found it very nice around here.

We walked around and saw some awesome sailing boats, The water had no waves and was blue, you can not really see it on the pics but in real life it was beautiful. And to see the water as a mirror for those boats was lovely as well.

We walked the pier with palm trees and some fishermen trying to catch some.

And of course taken our time in this mega rocking chair.

After that it was time to take a little nap.

day77-16Just kidding, we were waiting for the vessel to take off with all 55+ on board. It was good to see them depart, with a blow of the horn and full throttle forwards.

See there she goes.

An while we were watching the vessel, we saw a manatee swim by. We could not take a picture since they are under water for 99%. You can only see them when they need to get some oxygen. And even than you do not get to see the entire mammal.

day77-11

On the side we saw all these shells, birds picked them up from the water and put them on the side only to eat them later.

And how about this noisy airboat!

After spending time in and around the harbor we stopped at Goodwill in downtown Sanford.
I bought this coat rack, shorts, mirror and book. Only $9.00 in total, what a bargain!

On Wednesdays we normally have dinner at church but not today, today we decided to go Cracker Barrel and have dinner here. Old fashioned meals. I had sweet potatoes, sweet apple and ham, Bram had 3kinds of meat, corn and fries. Camy had an old fashioned burger.

Day 71 – October 2

All right, our days off are behind us, 5 days of doing whatever you feel like doing are over. We dropped Camy off at school and we went on to play some golf. Because it was Brams birthday this week he received a coupon of a golf course in Sanford. He was invited to play 18 holes of golf for free, isn’t that nice.

See, here we are in our golf cart, it was mandatory and to tell you the truth much better than walking. Since Bram played I drove and was his caddy again.

We also had to cross the road a couple of times, this course too, was in the village center.

day71-06

We played with two other guys which was good so they could show us the way.

day71-04

I’m behind the wheel and have to keep score as well, busy, busy, busy job 🙂

day71-05

Oh and not to forget, take picture of my Tiger Woods.

The weather was awesome once again, tee time was 10.00AM with some sun. It got a little cloudy while playing but no complaints, it would be too hot when there were no clouds.

day71-07

All in all, perfect day! and for me a first to play golf the entire day.
We left at 10.00AM and played until 2.00PM, what a day … but we did it.
And this was our cart … cool driver too, or not?!
