Left Pennsylvania on a very cold December 26th and arrived in Palm Coast, Florida Dec. 28th. We spent the evening visiting with our friends Nita and Ray Derois. By the way, we are back to shorts and short sleeve shirts.
Dec 29th we arrived at Peace River campground in Wauchula, FL. This is one of our favorite places. A small town with lots of community spirit, nestled among orange groves and cattle ranches. Main street Wauchula takes you back in time to small towns of time past.
The First Christian Church here has become our second church home. Every year we return the church has grown. They have very active focus groups and a lot going on. We witness many changed lives changed through the mininstry of this church.
Each year we return we are amazed to see the improvements this small town has made. Last year they added a lot of landscaping to the down town area. It is really pretty. There are some new restaurants downtown.
We have been here for 2 weeks and our time has been spent catching up with friends and acquaintances that we've made over the last 5 winters. We have played pickle ball, attended several pot luck dinners, gone out to eat with friends and made new friends.

Nicky met up with his friend of 4 years, Jet, a black standard poodle. We had a lovely dinner with his owners , Rob and Bonnie. Nicky made a new friend this year. Her name is Q-Tip and she is a white standard poodle. Jennifer and Bill are the proud owners and we really enjoyed getting to know them.
We really treasured the time we've had to spend with Jim and Jane Rankin. Over the last winters they have become very special friends of ours. Jane and I are, what can you say, kind of cut out of the same mold. We often think a like and can always pick right up where we left off the year before.
We're off to Venice, Fllorida on the Jan 12th.
