Avon Park FL Music on the Mall

Yesterday evening we went to Avon Park to listen to a band call California Toe Jam. They play music from the 50's, 60's and 70's. We met Larry and Bev there so it was a good evening of music and good friends. Here is a video I took of them playing. This the first time I use my phone for it. Not to sturdy holding the phone and some lady walk right in front of me. After the show we went to Windy's for a burger. Not a good burger at the one.

Our Trip to Saint George Island Florida 2014

Lois & I left Wednesday the 1st of October heading to Saint George Island Florida. Our first stop was in Greenwood In at Camping World Store. We park the rig and went to the store to let them know we was park for the night. While in the store did look to see if we wanted anything and walk out without buying a thing. This is the first time that has happen. We were up and moving down the road again headed to Gallatin TN. to see Roger & June Post. They have a place were we work camp and became friends. They were surprised to see us. We had a good time talking for a couple of hours and headed back to the COE Park for the night. We took are time getting around Friday morning cause we was only going about 250 miles to Calera AL at the Camping World Store. We got there  it was full and a  few rigs waiting for a spot for the nite. Lois & I decided to go on down the road and found a camp ground in Montgomery AL for the night. This day was a 335 miles instead of 250 miles. Anyway it is a full hookup and I got a good and needed shower. Oh by the way while I was hooking up the water the water regulator blew apart and I took a shower sooner then I wanted to.
Well we are in Marianna FL for a couple of days so Lois can get some laundry done. We can not get into are site till Monday on St George Island.
We arrive at St George Island around 1:30pm yesterday and set up camp. This site is real tight and you can not see the Gulf. Our friends show up about and hour after we did and set up camp now Bub & Tinker are due in today. We ate at a place in Apalachicola FL with Charlie & Alene. You have to cross a lot of bridges to go from one town to the next around here. Its cloudy today so we might go back into town. Its about ten miles into town from the state park. Four of it is from the main gate to our site.
Bub & Tinker arrive about 2:30 pm and set up camp. About hour after they set up they came over and and so did Charlie & Alene. We talk for a couple of hours and then had supper. Last night we good get TV so we good watch some. Charlie & Alene came over and we play peg & jokers for a while.

Yesterday we went to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The picture on the left is were they was helping Alene up because she fell down and had trouble getting up. We were out there for about a hour and half. Later we had Shrimp and Scalps on the grill that Alene had fix. That evening we play cards for a while.
This morning we got up later than usual and had company with Bub & Tinker and also Charlie & Alene. I guess we talk for about 3 hours.  We really did not do much today except hang around the camp site and talk. Around 5 pm we all went out BJ's for Pizza and came back and we show Tinker & Bub how to play Pegs and Jokers. Well the women won three games but it was a close. Today we are having B&G for breakfast. Alene is doing the gravy and Lois & I are doing the biscuit and I will do the scrambled eggs. After breakfast we went over to Panama City to the Camping World store. As we headed there we drove through Tyndal Air Force Base and saw some jets doing touch and go's. The rest of the day we will start getting things pack up so we can leave in the morning for Wauchula FL.
