Sarah and Donna great job keeping us on the loop. I will miss kayaking the river with everyone. Hope the weather clears up for everyone.

We made it to a flea market, then a wonderful strawberry shortcake...and then and then ....on to the wine tasting. Of course we brought some home.

Great fun, great friends.

Looks like another great Florida gtg. Sorry to miss it, but sure don't miss the cold weather in the East. Hope the cold doesn't reach you. I love Nan's big secret! Can't wait to see it.

My picture taking ability is getting down right embarrassing. Only 3 of about a dozen shots from this mornings cold adventure out are even useable, those are from the flea market.. Apparently after that I hit the video button at the famous strawberry shortcake house - so instead of photos I have very bad videos.

Due to the cold, rainy windy weather few venders other than those offering produce set up this morning. The variety and quality of the produce was amazing. We found several items we could not identify and the venders (almost no one spoke English unless there was a child in the booth to talk for them) beyond words like vegetable to be boiled or fruit, eat raw.

Can you tell we are cold? Margie, Louise and Nan

The picture of our big strawberry shortcakes, Nan attacking a giant display strawberry hanging from ceiling and me on throne playing strawberry queen had to be tossed (part of bad video set).

Next stop was a winery where one could taste 2 wines for free or add more for a small charge. Several bottles of fruit wine left the building with us.

It has gotten colder as the day progressed and now the rain drops feel icy.

No, no, no...those temperatures are just wrong. :o Didn't FL get the memo to be prepared for you. Mitch and I are basking in Sharon's lovely Southern California temperatures with limited winds and 4G WIFI....... :)

Hi, I just arrived with no notice or reservation, but got a spot for one night. Just happened to be in the area. Are there any gatherings today/night? Too bad about the rain :x . Soos.....I knocked on your door, but you weren't home.

Thursday night - we are meeting at Nan's on site 39. It's potluck. A lot of the group are out shopping today. The rest of us are hibernating due to the rain. Glad you found a site
