March 19 – 23, 2011 Summerdale, Alabama

We have been having a good time here at the Rainbow Plantation SKP in Summerdale.

Besides the normal day to day stuff (you know, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc.), we have been getting together with our friends Tom and Karen.   They spent the winter in this area and it has been good to spend some time with them and get caught up with each other.

We made a trip to Lambert’s Cafe – the home of the throwed rolls  (http://www.throwedrolls.com/).   The food was great and it was fun to watch the rolls being thrown to the customers.

Another day the four of us took a trip to Gulf Shores – isn’t this beautiful!

We took off our shoes and socks and walked along the water – how nice.  I love the beach – the sounds, the smells, the wind, the feel of the sand.   But I do not like laying on the sand in the sun.  So I could never be a beach bum – LOL!!!

We have also met quite a few people in the park – everyone is so friendly.    They have a lot of activities plus a beading and craft group.  I stopped in on Monday to talk with the beading ladies – may check it out later this week.

This area is beautiful – so much greenery.  And so many flowers blooming.  And so many grand houses.   I will try to get more pictures before we leave.

The weather has been gorgeous – sunny with a little breeze – and it has been so nice to sit outside at night.   It is a little more humid that we are use to after spending the winter in Arizona.

 We expect to be here until Monday and then head north.   At this time we have decided not to go to Florida and will check it out another time.    We still have some sightseeing plans here so stay tuned.

I will leave you with one last picture – how about that moon on the 19th!
