Rally

had a great time at the Chapter 57 Escapees rally! I dressed up for the 50s night and had the best costume. Too bad the judges did not agree with me, so I didn't get any prize. What I did have was a lot of fun.
We were kept busy the entire 5 days. One day we had a group of pre-K kids come in and sing for us. Were they ever adorable. There was one little girl really made me think of Michelle at that age. They really liked the ice cream they got afterwards. Great group of well behaved children.
We were there over Veterans Day, so went to the Florida National Cemetery for the program there. Always makes me proud and sad. Afterwards TM and I drove to the restaurant where we ate last year and it was closed! Bummer for real because they had good food and were so very friendly. Went home and ate sandwiches.
On Sunday we drove here to Peace Creek where we will spend the winter. TM has been getting the pavers down for our patio and it really looks good. We are both trying to get some organization to the trailer now that we have time. What a chore! We are realizing how we more or less threw stuff in when we moved and now we have to go thru so much stuff. We may be lightening our load a bit.
Yesterday (Saturday) we were up early and went to Jacksonville for a seminar on essential tremor. It was really well done and we gleaned a lot of good information. It was at Mayo Clinic and the neurologist and neurosurgeon who specialize in ET and DBS talked to us and answered questions. There were probably about 125 people there. On the way back we stopped at Ruby Tuesday for lunch (had a coupon).
We took Fancy with us and it worked out well. We were in a parking garage at Mayo, so there was so sun beating down on the truck. Plus the temp was around 72, so he did fine. At Ruby's we ate on the patio and Fancy could see us from the truck, so he just watched. No barking, yea!
Guess that is about it. God Bless.
