The week before Christmas, Carman and I and the boys drove to Lake Alfred to meet Camille and Ed. We arrived at lunch time and I couldn't get a hold of the Provonosts to extend a lunch invitation. As it turns out, we had a wonderful meal at Luigi's, one of their favorite spots. Great wine and pasta! We got a tour of Ed and Camille's beautiful home and met her dad, a truly delightful man with a mane of white hair. Their Shelties welcomed us to the pack, and we took up warm residence on the south facing patio. I hope the pictures say it all.
Christmas was quiet with phone calls to family and friends as a way of celebrating. The following week we went back to the winery to get some T-shirts. New Year's eve was balmy, and we sat outside while Carman cooked ribs. New Year's morning, we had torrential rain, but by afternoon, it was nice enough to tour Dade State Park just a short distance from Blueberry Hill. It is a battleground where they enacted a battle between the Seminole Indians and American forces back in 1835. Then I made some great gumbo for dinner. On Saturday, we had breakfast at local restaurant in Webster. It was quite good and the memorabilia was interesting. Then we headed for Lake Wales and Spook Hill. The idea is to put the car in neutral and drift BACK UP the hill. It worked! Don't know how. We stopped at a Best Buy so Carman could get his computer fixed and then headed for Bushnell. Saturday night was incredibly cold (27 degrees). Sunday morning Carman came over to check and inflate my tires. I then headed for Christmas, FL.
