Wachula Florida, January 19 - February 2


We arrived back in Wauchula, FL on Jan. 18th. The majority of our time here has been spent visiting and playing with the good friends we've made from winters past. We shared dinners with one another, played Pickle Ball, and played games such as Mexican Train, and Fast track. A lot of time was spent just catching up with one another after being separated for almost a year.







A lovely afternoon was spent with Lou and Carol Hands and Jim and Jane Rankin at Highland Hammock State Park.

We walked the Cypress swamp trail which is a lovely boardwalk trail with a catwalk.


This live oak tree is over 1,000 years old! The old people sitting on the tree are not near that old.


We enjoyed several nice meals out at two of Wauchla's newest restaurants, Celtic Crossing and Giovanti's.


Jane and I had a great time shopping and sharing-- just plain catching up. The more we share the more we find out how much alike we are. I'll miss coffee with Jane, my sister by heart. God has certainly blessed me with 2 sisters---one by blood, Jill and one by heart, Jane.


It was great fun catching up with Lou and Carol and sharing several meals with them. We look forward to perhaps seeing them on our return trip from the west.




This is for those of you who have not heard of Pickle Ball.

Hi you two! Looks like you are having a good time, as you always do - eating, walking, and playing pickle ball in the nice warm weather. It has been a cold winter here. We are looking forward to Spring. We will check in with you a little later - want to see pictures of Arizona.

Take Care - Love You! Deb & Gerry
