Rodeo Concert

Getting rested up and enjoying the sunshine and temps up in the 80's and not 12 BELOW ZERO!!!
Enjoying Florida.

Last night we went to listen to Merle Haggard's 2 sons and his band "The Strangers". We went to the Seminole Indian Reservation  in Brighton and was let in early when I showed my Police ID and had front row seats.

.
These 2 young men sound just like their Daddy, Merle Haggard,   they are Ben and Noel Haggard.  what a show they put on !

After the Concert we wandered around the Rodeo Grounds, bought our tickets for Saturday and Sunday for the Rodeo, saw it 5 years ago when we were here.

I want one of these to take North to use in the SNOW, this is one of the "Mud Buggies" they use to hunt "Hogs" with. it was very loud but very easy to drive as it had an automatic transmission !!
.
Met a lot of Veterans here at the Show,  Enjoyed it with my honey !!
.
Don't forget our vets !

FLORIDA

Well, we made it to Florida, it was a rough trip down, 1,850 miles, we almost turned around in Virginia and went home but we pushed it a little more and spent a couple extra days on the road but we are here.
.

.
We followed many "Salt Trucks" down I-81 all the way down to Virginia and had snow scattered about all the way to Virginia!
.
.

.
Finally, we are at Lake Okeechobee having lunch and relaxing !
.

.
Enjoying the opportunity to put on Shorts and relax where it is warm, 81 degrees.
.

.
We shed the long pants and heavy socks in Georgia!!!
.

 .
I am in my Glory, Fishing, got a Yarmouth right behind the house.
.

.
My Honey had to match me catching one a little bigger than mine.
.

. 
 I got serious and finally hit some nice specs!!!
.

.
Enjoying our time staying with Anna Mae's Mother in Lake Okeechobee, don't know how long we will be here but loving it every day.

Don't Forget, Remember the Vet!!!
