I Am Thankful For An Awesome Event And Being Able To Rest Afterwards – Day 15
I was the go to person for getting everything set up at the park.
Our volunteer co-ordinator made arrangements for the actual event. I am very glad I didn’t have to. Sometimes it is nice to be in the background getting it done and not having to be the person in the spotlight. She dealt with All the media.
Even Danny was left out of most of it.
We got the BALL rolling and worked on it for 3 years behind the scenes.
It was wonderful though for it to be acknowledged officially.
Our Event Was A Huge Success. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I am tooting my OWN HORN HERE. I ROCKED TODAY. Danny and I Rocked. Lake Kissimmee State Park Rocked. YIPPEE. The Dedication Ceremony Is OVER. The Blueway Trails System has a NEW Paddle Trail. Danny and I can get a lot accomplished when we work together. It started with a DREAM of MINE…Danny liked it….
Not The Normal Way To Start The Day.
It’s almost 8:30 AM. Danny and I were out before the sun came up looking for a water leak. We knew it would be a good size one.There’d been enough time for it to come to the surface. So we started looking again. We had already spent hours yesterday looking. There are old water lines…

What Happens After Danny Comes Home
We have some kind of snack. Danny leaves to change his clothes. Lunch box gets emptied. I unload the bucket of ice. Spilling the ice. Leftover hard blocks of ice go into the freezer. Then we talk about the park. What happened that day. Much of which I already know thanks to the radio. Usually…
My Afternoon At Home Waiting For Danny To Get Home
Got Danny’s ice tea ready first. I never know when he will come home early when it starts thundering and lightning. His tea : 2 gallon sized teabags in a 1 gallon tea pitcher. NO LEMONS . No sugar. STRONG. Mine : 1 maybe 2 regular tea bag(s ) if it’s real tea. Lemons /…

It Is Hot And Humid Out
