Sleepy Hollow

This week there was a baseball tournament, so nephew Jason's fan club gathered to watch the games.  It's rare for Luis and Barbara to get to watch the games, as work often prevents them from doing so.  This week, however, all of Jason's fan club (except Mike, who was working) attended one of the games and had a fine time at dinner afterward.

Yesterday I hopped on the Burg and scooted to Bushnell to ride with Marie through the beautiful countryside up there.  We visited Croom State Park, a very unusual place with murky black water, cypress knees and giant snail shells.  It was very quiet and peaceful there and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenary and the ride.

We left the park and headed for Sleepy Hollow for some lunch.  We went there last time we rode and it is a very cool place.  I got to meet the owner this time and had a nice chat with him.  He started this place after he retired and it's doing very well!  Plus, he and his wife are caring for his aging father, which is what Marie used to do for a living.  Perhaps there is a "win-win" in the cards for them.  I hope so.  Good connection.

If you're ever near Floral City, FL, do stop in.  There was ice in the bottle of my Miller Lite, the food is good and the service is even better!  It's a very friendly place and a good time will be had!  http://www.wallowatthehollow.com/

Beauty surrounds me here so it's easy to find a good picture.  Tonight there will be a huge full moon, but I doubt that I'll get a good pic as they are hard to do.  So here's a recent sunset.  Also, my highest regard to Vern Nelson, my former father-in-law who underwent successful hip surgery today and is recovering.  He's one of the finest men I've ever known and I will always hold him in high regard.  Speedy recovery, Vern! 

Thanks for stopping by!
