Home Sweet Home

“Floridians, we're currently west of Tallahassee and hoping to be in Tampa tomorrow, weather permitting. We left Hammond, La. this morning and drove through driving rain the entire day. Not fun while pulling a fifth-wheel.

Artex, Tango, etc., will contact everyone once we settle in. Need to find a place to call home. Anxious to meet everyone and to see a Lightning game.

OM, can't wait to see you again!

Aero, glad you made it home. safely.”

“i lived in hawaii for a year, way back in the seventies, when my husband was stationed at pearl harbor....when i was interviewing for a job, the japanese woman wanted to know where i was from and i said i was a "floridian"...she said oooh...where is Floridia?...like it was a foreign country....anyway..

Geezr..welcome to the sunshine state...sorry your first day here is so rainy!! but we gotta have the water table replenished sometimes..

why Tampa? not that theres anything wrong with it...

maybe we floridians can rustle up a welcome gathering soon...”

“Geezer man dude I am very much looking forward to backpacking with you again.


I miss ya pal.

“Glad to hear you made it, Geezr - sorry we had to run you outta town. Hi to Weezr!!!!”

“Welcome to Tampa, Geezr! Let's try to get together later this week?”

“Dang, you went right by me on I-10. ;)
I live a couple of miles south of I-10 in Gautier, MS.”

“OM, Malinda accepted a respiratory therapist job at Largo Medical Center. We just wanted a warm place for the winter and this position was open. We were actually in San Diego, but the background check for her California license was taking forever. So, we headed here. Right now we're in Port Richey and will look around for a place over the next several days. On the down side, it sounds like the hospital might want me as an equip. tech. for their pulmonary department. I certainly wasn't looking forward to that. ;-)

B-man, we're pretty disappointed. We were hoping to be with our grandson for the winter. Oh well, perhaps next winter.

CMB, ditto.”

“Artex, we're hoping to find a permanent spot in the next day, or so. Should be free for the weekend though.

StoveStomper, certainly wish we would have had more time to explore, but Weezr's first day is Tuesday.”

“This weekend sounds good Geezr. Let me know once your settled and have a better idea of your sched.. Look forward to it!”

“Geezr - Next time y'all are thru, check out Shepard State Park in Gautier, MS. The park is across the marsh from my house and has a very nice camper area with hookups. Nice park but watch your small dogs. The gators love to snack on them.”

“Chihuahua = Gator canapé”

“Welcome. How long are you here for?”

“Ha! Geezr this move sounds like it will beat camping in your backyard in the winter up here in Billings!”

“HPM, four months for sure and probably six. Looking forward to meeting you. We moved to Largo today and will spend the next several days settling in and resting up from the road trip.

Aero, mid 70's and sunny tomorrow. Life is good. Sorry we missed you.

Artex, you have mail, provided the address you list here is current.”

“Hmmm...so till about April then.
Cool, hopefully you can make it out to the Ocala hike. If not then maybe the Florida TTer's can do a get together or something.

If you ever find yourself in Jacksonville be sure to call and stop in.”

“largo...my brother lives there...
just watch for those elderly motorists....!!
do you have email? holiday plans?”

“What are you talking about, om?! He is one of those elderly motorists!!”

“LOL”

“OM, no plans for X-mas. Malinda is working so will probabaly just enjoy a quiet evening at home once she gets through with her 12 hour shift.”
