FT MYERS

Swan Lake Village RV Park
March 25 - 28

Very nice park...I give it 5 stars
and it's close by our friends, Skip and Charlene

We left Ft.Lauderdale Wednesday a.m. taking Alligator Ally
that runs from the east to the west coast.
I was hoping we'd see an alligator along the way.
"There's one, there's another one, oh my goodness
there is one every 100 ft or so. After seeing about 50
of them we didn't bother to look any more.

Charlene and Skip live next to this RV park, an easy bike ride
over there. Our first night here, they invited us to supper.
I was under the weather so Larry went over and had a good
visit with them. Charlene sent me a plate of food.

Charlene, still that sweet personality.
Thursday the 26th I took it easy, went to the pool and
by evening was feeling somewhat better so we went
over to Kemp's for supper which included some neighbors
that are leaving soon for their summer homes.
Kemp's dining room.
There were 4 couples there, by the time I got
around to take a picture most everyone had
gotten up from the table. It was a fun time, their friends
were very nice and the conversation(s) were interesting.
The swimming pool here
That's me
Friday was more relaxing, swimming in the pool and then
the Kemp's came over and took us for a ride out
toward the beaches and to a neat place where they
sell oranges, juice, ice cream, gifts, and other goodies

Larry and Skip
Free samples: Orange, Orange/strawberry, Orange Cranberry,
Grapefruit, and a couple others
We bought a quart of the orange/strawberry, plus a couple of jars
of marmalade, honey mustard and something for Shari who
will have to wait to find out what it is.
Our visit with Charlene and Skip was great. So many memories
shared, sharing about our kids, gkids, and "their" great gkids.
After we left the citrus store Charlene drove us over to
Shell Point Village where Janet and Harry Myles live.
This is owned by C. & M.A.
Harry
Janet
Cramer's, Myles, and Kemp's
Again, lots of memories of Riverview/Endicott,
kids, gkids, fun times. Uncle Josh entertained them. They
laughed so hard Charlene said her face hurt and Janet
had to get up and get a drink of water.
It was so good to see the Kemp's and Myles's,
another high light of our trip.

Saturday morning and we are all packed up and ready
to go north to Zephyrhills well almost anyway,
bikes have to be loaded in the truck
and the awning has to be rolled up.
