Well so far its been much more pleasent here ......... We've been able to sit outside and read or nap as I like to call it.........
The site we have is one of the bigger ones and its so far been quite and peaceful.....
we've gone on walks and rode our bikes on the trails here also ......
Nice view for Sharon huh ?
Well my folks lived in the area for around 10 years or so......and during that time when my Mom was very ill with cancer the Navy reasigned me to work in St Pete so I could help out ....I was here over a year living with them ........
I wanted to show Sharon where they lived and in our first days here we drove to the mobile home park to see the old home .......Well :::::::
Well , one of my moms brothers and my " God Father " Uncle Art and his wife Mary live close by ...we had Chirstmas dinner with them and Marys son Bill and his girlfriend Jackie from N.Y. were here too......Oh my Uncle Art should be a much heavier guy with Marys cooking ......sooooo good ......... She made Turkey , Ham , homemade cranberry Sauce , Mashed and Sweet potato , Dressing , corn and a pinapple frozen salad that as they say was to die for !!!!!! Thankyou Mary !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder where we'll be at Easter time ? uuummmmm
We've been here 10 days and spent alot of time with U. Art and Mary.......Art belongs to the " Knights of Columbus " and marched in a Chirstmas parade ......80 years old and very handsome and strong he is ...walked the whole thing ....here's some shots :
Thats Mary driving their Friends T-Bird and Uncle Art on the left waving ...
And some other neat stuff in the parade .... a parade in Decenber who would of thought .....
It was fun and sunny , beautiful day

I told you earlier about my folks living here years ago ....well Mom died of cancer on 26 December 1981 , here in Clearwater Fla. , she wanted and was cremated and as soon as my brother Earl and sister Janice came down , we all with Dad spread her ashes at a park that she enjoyed going to ...Its called Anderson Park.... so today 28 years later , Uncle Art , Sharon and I went to the park to remember her and tell her we miss her and love her ...............It was nice ..........
Well we ended today at a BIG fleamarket its in Oldsmar , Fl and had everything from A to Z ....lots of stuff .......I think we'll go back tomarrow ......
