We got up and left Miami Wednesday morning. We were headed over to the west coast of Florida, to Englewood, to spend a few days with Mommy and Deac. Our ride over included driving through Alligator Alley. We had a little excitement when we got to the toll booth. It seems the person in front of us, didn’t have the $1.50 to pay the toll keeper. You could tell it was going to take longer than it should have to sort out. The passenger in the car actually came back to our car and asked Greg for the money to pay the toll. He said no, by then the toll keeper had gotten the driver’s license number and license plate number and they rolled on out of the toll booth. I wouldn’t want to see the ticket that person gets for failing to pay the toll. (I was hoping that we wouldn’t breakdown on this road and have to ask someone we had earlier turned down for $1.50 to help us.) The ride across Route 75 was pretty dull…until I noticed alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the water that ran along the side of the road. That was cool. I have never seen so many gators in one place. They were everywhere.
We got to Mommy and Deac’s mid-afternoon. It was good to get there, and they both seemed to be doing well. Mommy made Jambalaya for dinner, it was excellent, she has always been a great cook.
Greg turned a lot of VHS Home movies into DVD’s for Mommy and Deac. We have been previewing them. Some of them are really funny.
We played a few rounds of Rummikub. That is always fun. Mommy and Deac are Pros.
Time to turn in for the night
