1961 my nephew Woody and Jack Jr. spy a BIG bear in the Smokies

This is a BIG bear, the boys probably got too close, but I was young too, not realizing the real danger. I have a movie or picture somewhere of the bear jumping over or close Jack Jr.

My sister Kat and Sherry. This was our first trip to Florida together. Sherry had just found out she was expecting our first. (And she could still sleep!) WE were on this exact same lake.

We moved again. Our home is in the State park in Fruitland Park, FL. It is pretty populated around here. When we came in the Ranger said don’t leave food out and that the dumpster is locked from 5:30PM until 8AM due to Bear activity. Now we are used to bears in The Blue Ridge and Smokies. And on up ito the North East, but Leesburg Florida? I am gonna look for the dude. Hahaha! If I see him I will ask for a picture.

We have Beautiful weather, finally acting like Florida.

Well it is done. I have a manuscript for S’gar. I am going over it once more before submitting it. Sherry says this is the best yet. I like it, but of course. I never built a house I would not live in, I won’t write a book I don’t like. That makes sense to me. One reason I built like I would live in, there was always the possibility that I might have to. Hahahahah!

But the books, I don’tknow what you do with them. I think I told you about Jim, a recording artist from home. He asked me one day had I bought his latest album? I said, ‘ I didn’t know you had a new one.’ ‘Sure,’ he said, ‘it is a million Seller’. Then he paused and said, ‘Well at least there are a million in my cellar’. Jim’s card says “The Loose Ends Band”. Shirl says Jim and Dean have their own museum.

We bought a new car you know, a 2004 Odyssey. We only had one remote so I ordered Sherry one. Now I have to teach it to open the doors. Problem is, it says if I do it wrong, the old one will not longer work. “Why do they want to scare me like that?” Now I am afraid to try to program it. Hahahaha!

The motor home has a 12v pump for water when we are going down the road. Ours gave out so I ordered one over the internet. I just got it working. I order tooooo much stuff over the internet. Hahaha! Sherry says I support the net.

We checked our mail today. I got another thousand Birthday cards. ********* Okay so I got five ******. Every body loves you on your birthday (except your mama, she worked that day & still remembers it!)

Thanks for coming this way,

Going out is good. Coming home is better!
When people say you look "Great"... they add "for your age!"
