Island Time

Hi Family & Friends

We are still in St. Marks Fla. waiting on a generator for D&D's boat. I want to take this time to thank a few special people who have helped us prepare for this trip. I will not mention all, but as time goes by hope not to miss anyone. Being able to write these blogs and set up everything took special friends like Richard S.,Davis D., Karl F.. We have received many e-mails which we try to respond to when we are able, if we have internet, but believe me it's not like at home . I would like to thank a few others that are taking care of home affairs for us like our two daughters, the Richards, Paul C., the Abshires & the Leonards, we are grateful for them. There are others like the Woodards, the Nelsons and more who we miss seeing.
We work on small projects each day and some how think of all of you. We are still adjusting to living on the boat, and the NO-SEE-UM's make the mosquito's a joy. The Shields Marina has been very nice to us, yesterday they lent us a Yukon to use, and guess where we went, wrong! , to a state park which has a spring where they filmed the Monster of the Black Lagoon and where Tarzan did his thing, then we went to WAL-MART haha! We have taken a couple of dinghy rides up the St. Marks River and also the Wakulla River, clear water, saw many fish, turtles, a raccoon, a gator and some people that looked straight out of Deliverance, many types of trees in the same spot, like a Pine next to a Cypress, then a Palm, a Magnolia and some we could not identify.
OK, time to take a nap, get some more rest for the next project, like laundry which takes a half day.
We hope to update again soon. Hey! Bill and Ernest tell everyone at the station Hi.


Love Y'all
Lu & Mike
