...And A Fun Time Was Had By All

5/16/2021

2 Comments

 
     When I rolled out of my tent and off the farm, I had a mere two-hour drive south to visit friends, Sid and Judy, in the Lake region. We met on Jekyll Island in 2017, have had prior visits in campgrounds, but Covid cancelled our March 2020 get-together at their new homestead. This was my first post-vax stay but I wasn't worried because we're not only all vaxxed, we're all straight talkers. 
     One of the many reasons I so enjoy their company is that I feel right at home, and we can talk about religion, politics, family, travel, food, or whatever with a little screaming and swearing perhaps, and it's all good. The only issue that has surfaced is that Sid won't play Scrabble anymore because I've beat his ass too many times. He does, however, push the envelope on the bike seat riding ahead of me. 
     In three days, we ate fabulous food, had a few drinks, cruised the lakes, biked the community, heard live music, watched a bad movie, didn't solve the world's problems, and laughed a lot! These crazy kids even invited me back for next year's St. Paddy's Day festivities. Where's my '22 calendar?  
     
​      One more stop in Florida for a month and that's a much longer story.

Hi Judy! Jim and I are in John Bryan State Park in our Chinook this evening. A beautiful Spring evening after an afternoon of torrential rain. I am looking over at your tent site from 3 ( ??? ) years ago. Not a soul. Very quiet here at the campground. We rode this morning on the way here from our home in Delaware, Ohio. Stopped at the trail in Urbana. Mostly, I am wishing you continued great travels. We have come to love Cedar Key, by the way. This year was our third visit. Two weeks with lots of incredible bike rides, kayaking, and incredible waterfowl to watch all day long. We have found a house to rent that we love. The tides and the Spoonbills.....are truly amazing! CARRY ON JUDY!

Nancy & Jim,
I am STUNNED to hear from you! Has it been 3 years? I'm going to have to go back into the blog to reality check. Was just thinking of Yellow Springs as I've seen the big Dave Chappelle event announced, but haven't found time to return. And yes, I too find Cedar Key wonderful and hope it sustains forever! Meanwhile, the Chinook is still kicking, eh? Aren't I the #1 name on your list of potential adoptive parents? Stay well. I'm moving slowly this year but plan to keep moving! I have your email now so if I return to Cedar Key next March, I'll be checking on your itinerary! J.
