We have a had a wonderful time here in Summerdale, visiting with old friends, making new friends, seeing the sites, and just plain enjoying ourselves.
Here is our site:
The sites here are HUGE! With some beautiful trees all around. And the flowers are blooming:
On Thursday, 24th, Tom, Karen, Andy, and I went to see the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, Florida – fascinating!:

Tom and Andy are by the nose of this airplane – it was HUGH:
The two photos above are from the various displays at the museum.
I am so glad there are places like this for the general public.
Sometimes I think we forget the prices our service men and women pay for our freedom here at home and places like this help us remember that our freedom isn’t free.
Saturday was my birthday so Andy arranged with Tom and Karen to bring over a cake on Friday night – what a nice surprise. We enjoyed it that night and the rest on Saturday.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I went to the local flea market in the morning, then to Elberta to their sausage festival – I just love these small town festivals – reminds me of home. And then Karen and Tom spent the evening with us… Good shopping, good food, good friends – what a great day!
On Saturday morning before we left, Andy heard something hit our awning. When he checked, he found a baby dove on the ground. We did not know if it was dead or alive or if it was just learning to fly so we left it there. When we came back, it had moved so Andy put crates by it. And for the next two days, we watched as its parents guarded it, feed it, and tried to get it to fly. Here are the pictures of mom and baby.
When we left on Monday, our neighbors were going to keep an eye on it. Hopefully it will be able to fly soon.
The weather here has been hot and humid so we have decided to head north instead of going to Florida so stay tuned.
