Preparations To Travel

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 96 degrees, mostly clear skies, humid

Our original plans were to leave here today, heading back to Alabama for about a week, then to Tennessee in search of cooler weather. Lately, it seems like most of our plans are written in sand because they seem to get changed a lot. Another change took place this morning when we decided to stay here one more day. That gave us a chance to rest a little before hitting the road, and gave Carolyn another chance to see her mother. She spent about half the day visiting while I was taking care of chores. The rest of the day was spent resting and getting ready to leave in the morning.

This has been a very good visit for us. We saw almost everyone we wanted to, and were busy every day. This is the kind of visit that makes you want to return. I hope it's cooler next time.

Over the past few months, we have been hearing about Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a new hamburger chain. Tonight, we went to the one in Ocala. Frankly, I don't know what the fuss is all about. We didn't think the hamburgers were anything special, and the french fries were forgettable. On top of that, we thought the price was a little high. Our favorite is still Backyard Burgers, but it seems like all of the stores in that chain have been closed when we're near them. They must be having financial problems. We hope they get straightened out.

More later, be safe.
