I stayed the night at Bode’s House, ate breakfast with him this morning and helped him put his shoes and socks on. He put the shoes on himself. Here he is demonstrating how he does it. 😊

Spent most of today with my grandsons. They are 12 and 3 and 1/2. Here we are goofing around outside at my daughter’s house.

One of the prettiest birds I’ve seen. This photo is from last year, not sure which of us took it. Check out those yellow legs!

This is from last weekend when we went to Kissimmee. There are two babies but you can’t see them very well.

A gator was chasing this gallinule and to get to safety he jumped up onto the reeds. You can really see his yellow feet. From last year at Viera Wetlands. Vic is using Lightroom instead of pic monkey and the colors are so much better. We thought it was a second look.

This painted bunting is from last year too.

Victor took these last year on our first visit to Joe Overstreet boat landing (where they have airboat rides) and where there are several eagle nests in the area. Anyways, this is a pretty bird and I love the poses.

My daughter Kelly is visiting for a few days! Yay! Today we took her to the 10 mile wildlife drive in Apopka where we saw an excellent representation of birds living there including several she had never seen like a green heron and glossy ibis. It had rained hard for several hours earlier in the day so the birds were out looking for food. Kelly brought her binoculars and enjoyed the ride.

We have lights strung everywhere with a red, white and blue theme. This is our blue and white tree. Isn’t it a beauty?

I finally made it up early enough for the sunrise and is it a beauty! We have to be out by 9 am. Our cars are mostly packed already. Hoping for a smooth ride home to West Jefferson NC. It sure was great seeing everyone – Charlotte, Kathi, Geri, Janet, Patty, Roz, Sherry, and Carol. If anyone reading this blog is curious about where we are, google 72 Parker lane, Pawleys Island, S.C. its a private home that is rented part of the year. (Owned by Kathi’s ex-boss) he is a very generous man who still lets her have it for a week some years. We don’t ever count on the next time but when it comes around we sure do appreciate it.

3 of the ladies jumped into the pool this morning after their walk on the beach.
