May 27 - the day after that day....

It was a day of phone calls and thoughts and plans and more thoughts...and more memories and thoughts...she lived a long healthy life right to the end......we are all blessed for that, no pain, no endless hospital stays, no bedside care...just went to sleep happy and never woke up 😌 we all dream of that ending and for mom...it came true.....

The weather was unsettled, we did not go far today, just drove to a small town and went for a stroll at a State Park outside of Crescent City Florida where we will be for a few days.



The rumble in the sky and the first drops of rain made it a short walk. Memorial day is coming soon so the little town of Palatka was getting ready for their Blue Crab Festival.

The petting zoo was getting set up so we got to watch this little baby goat annoy his momma by escaping all the time. 

Crescent City where we are staying is pretty quiet. Most of the beach camping at Flagler Beach was fully booked so we opted to stay a short ways inland and then just drive in for the day.

Vultures waiting for their next free meal!....

And finished off the day with a good ol storm..

....and only about half dozen fireflies...but I did gently move one from a tree branch into my hand....but he didn't stay long...😔

We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...

June 6 - Downtown Asheville

The temperatures here are refreshing....it cooled down last night to about 14 degrees...first time in a long time that the air conditioner was turned off and windows opened to let the breeze in through the night... We spent the day tripping around Asheville. Lu is in Doggy Daycare today so we are on our own. There are many large old buildings with individual little boutique stores and eateries.. Our first church we have been in on this trip...we got invited in so ..why not! Very cool area, we mostly window shopped....browsed around...enjoyed the cool old buildings... We saw quite a few old buildings converted into "Art walks" where there were individual artist displays/sales....love this guy!!!! A bike made out of wood....$60,000.00!!! Then back out on the streets!! Asheville is Beer Capital USA...and by 2:00...still no beer in our be...
