The tiger fans have been moving in droves to all empty spots in the park. They’ll be gone by Saturday however, as Auburn plays tomorrow in the Citrus Bowl right down the road in Raymond James stadium. As the year ends some of our new found friends have decided to move on. One such couple [...]
The past several days away were both bittersweet and melancholic. We took Tom and Deana to the airport to venture back to South Dakota to be with their boys for the holidays. Later that day we returned to the airport to retrieve Erin. Christmas Eve was spent sauntering the countries of Epcot, taking in as [...]
It’s been a few days away from here. I never want to bore with you mundane tasks of living or the fact that not every day of this glorious adventure is full of bliss. But I have been busy. Busy in search of perfection in the average day. Each morning I walk the mile to [...]
Rain and cool winds have permeated the area and to be honest, it’s been a welcome respite. It gives us an excuse to do some shopping. The Mulloys hard drive crashed after only five months with the Dell. I offered them a ride to the Geeks squadron to see if it was salvageable . I [...]
The last time I posted a shot of my awning, it was in shambles. Hurricane Ida had pulled the entire framework away from the side of the Revolution, springing us to shock and awe at 3 in the morning. Progressive was great about the whole thing, cutting a check two days later. The only problem [...]
Robin and I had done an airboat ride last March and we wanted to take Tom and Deana along as they had never experienced one. I did and internet search to choose an alternate tour guide near Lake Wales and chose Alligator Cove Airboat & Pontoon Boat Nature Tours owned by Dee and Darald. Am [...]
Here’s a chance for you to win $200. Sometime last spring my entry entitiled “Monkeying Around Silver River” was chosen as the winning entry in the Road Trip Journal website. That entry is now in line for the “best of the year”. I would ask that you go here, VOTE FOR GYPSYLARRY (just click on [...]
The last few days have been spent running around and spending far too much money but it’s been fun. Robin has had trouble getting into the Titan due to her recent knee surgery. The chassis is a bit taller for her than she’d been used to. I checked with the Nissan dealer and their price [...]
I received and email last week that a former colleague, a teacher that formally worked with me, would be visiting Disney for the week with her daughter and young grandchild. Lugene C. and I had worked together for ten years at the Ringgold School District until I moved on to more lucrative pastures. She suggested [...]
The rain has finally stopped. It’s been coming down for three days without any hesitation. I’ve been pulling trucks out of the mud, stuck on flat ground, with our 4×4. Even the birds around here look a bit water-logged. Temps dropped into the high 40′s last night but I’m not complaining. Talked to my brother [...]
