New Years Eve found us in Okeechobee Florida. Mom and I had made plans to attend a party at the park we were staying but due to a 5 day headache coming to a head, we did not attend. I had a headache for about 5 days, consistent and painful. Nothing I took worked in relieving my pain. I was concerned that it might turn into a migraine, which I use to have but they disappeared after I quit my job. I was relieved that when my headache turned into just a major pain treatable by two Tylenol pm. There was no lights, nauseous, and dizziness. It is all good. We left Okeechobee yesterday and traveled to Highlands Hammock State Park, one of Florida´s oldest parks. Hammocks are dense stands of hardwood trees that grow on natural rises of only a few inches higher than surrounding marshland that is otherwise too wet to support them. Hammocks are distinctive in that they are formed gradually over thousands of years rising in a wet area through the deposits of their own decomposing organic material. As a result they typically have a large and diverse density of various forms of plant and animal life. Highlands Hammock is a beautiful place with several trails. The campground is older with the hook-ups in the back.
Tomorrow we are taking the van in for the usual maintenance.
Enjoyed the pictures I took today.
