Homeward Bound

Well, we have gotten Anna Mae's Mother somewhat back on her feet after some Heart Issues and surgery.  She was able to go out and celebrate her 84th Birthday with her 3 sons and 1 daughter.  Anna Mae was a little hard on her making her walk twice a day, being so hot, 102 in the shade Anna Mae would take her mother to Public, Tractor Supply, Winn Dixie, Walmart and walk all the isles in the Air Conditioning due it being to hot and muggy!  We were in Florida in Okeechobee almost a Month and are now home!!   Good Flights down annd back and I got a good del on our car rental thru the Veterans and American Legion with Enterprise Car Rental.  Great Company.
