Florida at last! But wait the TV weather
gal is talking about Frost warnings
 The
first stop in Florida that we made was a visit to the
Bill Gregory family. That is Dana Gregory with her 2
sons as the first picture of this show. The Gregory's moved from Fort Lauderdale, the last time
we saw them, to a beautiful home in Gainesville FL. We
can see buy this lead picture that like Diane, Dana is
soon to be the shortly in the family as her 2 boys are
soon going to tower over her. Minnie did real good for
her self as she was getting used to a different dog at
nearly every place we stopped.
From Gainesville we moved on to Lake Placid.
They had had frost a couple of weeks before we arrived
and it killed many of the smaller ornamental plants that
are usually planted around a home.
We stayed in Lake Placid with our friend of many
years Bev Smith. The weather cleared and we had about 5
days of temperatures in the hi 70's, low 80's so we were able to go
down to the pool and splash around a little. I
was t oo modest to show a full view of
Bev as
I promised I would not take a picture of her
while she was sun bathing. I will leave the rest of her
to your imagination. I
figure you all can guess what the rest of her looks
like. You will see the full view late on in the slide
show.
Allison Davis, Bev's older daughter married a local fellow.
John Davis, he comes from an old Florida family in the
Lake Placid area. He looks a little shell shocked in the
picture but I promise you he does not look that weird
normally. I think I may have caught him after a long day
of crunching numbers at work. This is his busy time as
he is an tax accountant.
They have a beautiful home and 2 great looking kids. Jeff
lives in Kansas City MO, so we were unable to see him
and his family. We were lucky to see them the last time
we came to Florida. I am sure Don would be very proud of
how his children and their children have grown up. It is
so easy in this world we live in to stray off of the
right path and without a father around it can happen
very easy. .
We did many things while we were staying with Bev. Our
list included visiting a local winery, going to the
Seminole Indian casino, which is located about 30
miles from Lake Placid and visiting the winter training
grounds for the beautiful Royal Lipizzan Stallions. We
saw a free show that lasted about an hour and a half. It
was a training session the Herrmann's family allow the
public to observe and it was free.
I will be putting a slide show of the horses on
tomorrow. Look for a link here to see these beautiful
horses. I am going to stop now as I am getting tired an
my 2 typing fingers are getting sore.
Now scroll to the top of the page and click on the
button to see the
beautiful Lipizzan Stallions.
