Like Sue said we couldn’t have asked for a better weather report that what God delivered to us this weekend.
We had a wonderful short weekend with Scott and his family. Melanie and her daughter Aimee came down also so got to see everyone except Nikki. Friday night we all went out to dinner at a local restaurant in North Port, had a quiet table and ate early, so were able to talk and catch up with each other while we were waiting for out dinner, then after dinner, went back to Scott’s house and chatted until bedtime, and Lou and I drove back to our RV, which was about 25 minutes away. Thanks to our “on-star” it directed us back home a different way.
Saturday morning the sun came up with a promise for temperatures in the 80’s and I broke out the “tank” tops thinking at Sue’s house, we could enjoy the sun and pool and we certainly did, she had the same idea. Sue suffers from RA and has been off from work for three weeks and will be off for another eight weeks and perhaps permanently. This is the first visit that I have really had a chance to really chat with her and I so enjoyed talking with her. She has always had to work and was an early riser, so this time she was so relaxed and we enjoyed ourselves.

Scott did a turkey on his smoker, along with sweet potatoes, and Lou’s favorite a cabbage. Absolutely delicious!! We went to church with Scott after dinner and heard an astounding message on Value from their youth pastor. I am so pleased they are involved with such a loving and giving church family. Greg and all of the teens will benefit from the youth leadership there. Amazing!! They want an adult for every 3-5 teens and haven’t had a problem getting volunteers. Doesn’t that say something for their church?

We enjoyed watching Aimee play with Greg’s little cars on the deck. Sue had kept all of Greg’s toys and now Aimee is enjoying them. Aimee is three months older than Matthew, so it is nice to see the differences.

After church, we had Plant City strawberry shortcake and coffee and caught up on our e-mail with Scott’s wi-fi and come on home. A great day.
Today, Scott and the family came out to the RV, I had them pick up subs at Publix along with some chips and we took all our food and walked down to Lettuce Lake and had a picnic. Greg and Scott did some fishing and Aimee got to play along the lake, so it was a fun afternoon.

It was sad to tell them goodbye, but the good thing is that Scott is going to have a meeting in Clearwater in a week and he will pick up Nikki and then bring her to Tampa and have dinner with us, so we will get to see both of them, so it wasn’t really goodbye yet.
Tomorrow we are off to Tampa to MacDill Air Force Base, we will have to dry camp until we can get a spot, so will post as we are able and hopefully I will have telephone service there.
