Weather: low 70 degrees, high 91 degrees, mostly cloudy early, partly cloudy in the afternoon
We made a trip down to Lakeland to see my sister Janie and her husband Wayne today. The trip was about 120 miles each way, and traffic was fairly light. Arriving about 1030 hours, we had lunch about 1200 hours. The food consisted of Publix fired chicken, potato salad, conch peas, and those outstanding home made biscuits that Janie is so good at baking. As good as the food was, the company was even better. After lunch, we managed to have a discussion about politics, the economy, and all the world's ills that I'm sure would go a long way to solving our problems if we could get anyone that matters in Washington to listen.
We had a great visit, and look forward to the next one. As I have said before, we always enjoy visiting family.
We arrived home about 1815 hours, and both of us had sinus headaches. We felt better after taking something for the headaches and resting. Florida plays LSU in college football up in Gainesville later on tonight, so I'll be watching it on TV. Go Gators!!
The Met Life blimp is in the area for the football game, and I took some pictures of it earlier this week. Check it out below.
There is a lot of excitement in Florida over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays making it to the baseball playoffs. They lost the first game of the American League divisional playoffs to Boston last night, but they have another chance tonight. Here's hoping they can get a win.
It's almost time for the football game to start, so I'll close for today.
More later, be safe.
