A day in the life of a ........

SEVENTY year old.     Yes, one of us has tipped over into another decade.  !!   And the other isn't far behind.    To prove that we are still very much alive and well,  we headed out to the explore the 

 Withlacoochee Trail.    A former railbed, this flat wide trail winds 46 miles thru central Florida.   We did not manage that many miles but did meander along enjoying the perfect day and the view from a walkway carved into the swamp of bald cypress and spanish moss.   In this particular section of the long trail, there is signage to help identify the birds and trees and tell us that we are following in the footsteps of the Spanish Explorer DeSoto , some 500 years earlier.

And to celebrate the day and the accomplishment, we had a picnic of delicious PB&J's.    The wine came later !!
We stayed home this year for the holidays but welcomed Jeff and Jennifer.    They came down, played some golf, went to Key West, got sunburned, came back and played more golf.     And , I didn't take a single picture of them!    I find that hard to believe but I have nothing to post to prove their existence in Florida.     They took pictures so I'll have to hope they read this and forward one to me so I can show you how good looking they are !!
2012 was a great year for us and we plan to continue doing whatever it is that made it so................
