I Have Nothing To Blog About

We decided to stay in Tallahassee for two night (leave Friday) and ride out the freeze.  So I have nothing to blog about – no travels, no adventures, notta…  Like someone told me “just babble, babble is better than nothing.” 

Yesterday I had to wire money to my son for some minor major house repairs and so we took off for the Publix Grocery Store.   I had a very helpful and nosey employee help me fill out the Western Union form.  When she saw my Florida address she said “Oh you're not far from home.”   I learned to just smile and not say a thing.  Then she showed me where to fill out Scott’s info which is just his name and location.  When she asked why I was sending money I said “I am sending him money to fix my house.”    That is when she looked at me and then she looked at the form.  I could see the wheels churning in that brain of her’s.    Pensacola address – Tucson Home….  Then she immediately asked for my driver’s license, which I gave her.  Again I saw that familiar confused look in her eyes – Pensacola address, Tucson home, Missouri Driver License.  Before she could say a word I explained, “I live in the perpetual state of confusion.”   No more was said or asked.

Florida is experiencing a freeze and according to the weather map it is state wide.  It should be turning around by this weekend and I am looking forward to doing some hiking at the Tomoka State Park.  We are going to see St. Augustine at a later and warmer date.

Life is good.

Tallahassee Florida

We arrived in Tallahassee Florida around 5:00.  We are now on Eastern Time.  We were here a year ago at the same park and it was miserable then as it is miserable now.  What is so special about Florida in the winter?  It is COLD!  It could be worse - it could be raining and cold.  We are going to stick around for a couple weeks, possibly longer if it warms up. 

I picked up a brochure on all of the state parks in Florida and I am super excited about exploring as many as we can.  It is a beautiful state with a wonderful history.  I know as soon as I thaw out I will feel a little more positive. 

Tomorrow we will be in St Augustine Florida.  Life is good.

What Dogs See

I am now a happy person that shares her home with two dogs. Miss Sophie has moved in with us full time. She is a Miniature Pinscher, 6 years...
