Summerfield, Fl
Dad said I shouldn't tell anyone, especially our traveling friends, but, I tend to tell it all. Momma tried out a new recipe and Dad gave it ...not one...but both thumbs up. He might just be feeling a tad greedy and non-sharing with these cookies.
It's a chocolate cookie (bummer, they won't let me have chocolate) with a cream cheese filling. Momma said she was supposed to get two dozen cookies but it wound up being only one dozen as she ran out of the chocolate cookie dough. There is plenty of cream cheese filling left so I think another dozen will be baked tomorrow. Strange recipe from a new source.Dad has been busy with numerous projects since returning home so Momma headed to Walmart solo. Publix works well for her as they bag the groceries and even place them in the car for her, saving her back, but she needed some Walmart items. She really lucked out. Not only did the cashier bag her items, but he removed the filled bags from the carousel and placed them in her cart for her. It all made sense when she looked at his name tag. His name was Rodger. Even though his name has an extra letter (d) from Dad's name, he still had that same giving, sharing, helping personality. I greeted her when she returned home and then got Dad to carry everything into the house. Momma was treated with kindness by Rodger and Rogerπ
Carol and Steve headed south this morning with Dothan as their overnight destination. Auntie Carol has a dance class in Ocala on Tuesday that she has registered to attend.
The remaining camping friends in Huntsville spent their last day at the US Space and Rocket Center.
Meanwhile, my Summerfield neighbors, Tim and Julie, rolled into their driveway on Saturday evening around 6pm. Their day of travel ended up with the final Florida leg being quite windy as a front blew through Florida. I got to visit with both of them today. Things are back to normal in the neighborhood now. They had taken a quick rest break at Farmhouse Market in Madison, Georgia so they picked us up some of that delicious, freshly ground, peanut butter made from honey roasted peanuts. Yummy π
Kathy and Greg enjoyed their second day in Folkston, Georgia taking a wonderful eco-boat tour through the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. One of the birds they saw included a Yellow-crowned Night Heron only seen by their guide a few times a year. The guide pointed out a Barred Owl in a tree that would have been missed without the guide's assistance.
Check out this gator posing right under the Do Not Feed the Alligators sign.
Bob and Reba have already arrived at Foscue Creek Campground where they will be joined by the others on Monday. After catching up on laundry they took time out to enjoy Mother Nature's gifts.
as well as the gorgeous surrounding scenery.
I understand Reba is treating Bob to chicken dinner at Jack's. Sounds good to me. I LOVE chicken.
Meanwhile, Momma is trying her best to follow the doctor's orders so she can get healed up and on the road again.
Looks like a long, slow road. After 3 months of healing, there hasn't been much improvement. Sure hoping the wound specialist makes faster healing progress than her dermatologist. Momma just ordered another supply of four inch sterile gauze pads.I'm Chloe
