It's been awhile since I posted anything because our internet has been really slow and I couldn't get any pictures loaded. We had a good trip to Florida and a good visit with Nancy and Al in Oklahoma City. We enjoy road signs as we travel and traveling through Oklahoma there are a lot of Indian names on things including the road sign for a road that runs parallel to the Arkansas River called Lotsawatah Road. Then there's the Toad Suck State Park in Arkansas. Lots of unique things to see when you travel. We finally got to Tupelo and got to enjoy the pretty Fall colors. We got to stay in the area for about a week getting some warranty work done on the coach.

 On of the trees in a site just across from where we were parked. The building below is where Tiffin Motorhomes got its start in 1972. It is now only one of about 10 buildings on this site. We took a tour again this year and learned even more new things about the company. After the tour we went in and visited with Bob Tiffin for a few minutes before going home.

 Right after we got to Fort Pierce Betsy got to go to a Flea Market in Mt. Dora, just north of Orlando, while walking around she saw this table of dishes, the pattern we grew up with. I've never seen so many of this pattern without any chips!

 

These were our center pieces for Thanksgiving at Di & Rick's house. The flowers are from pineapple, grapes and strawberries. The turkey is grapes, watermelon balls, cheese and pepper. They were really cute and the kids loved eating them!

 Today Howard got to go on a boat tour of the St. Lucie River, which flows right through Port St. Lucie. This is a picture of the river bank, looks pretty much like it did over 200 years ago when they first settled this area. This was the only means of travel through this area and the waterways meander around for quite a ways.

 This guy was sunning himself (or herself) on the bank. Howard says he say lots of alligators on the ride this time and he even got to see these five babies sunning on a log by the river. This river also flows through several neighborhoods and the gators are right in the neighborhoods! It's a really neat ride and I'd like to do it again. When we took this ride last year we got to see a soft shelled turtle, they're really ugly and very rare. Pretty cool though.
