Back in Pensacola, FL

78º and foggy here in Pensacola, FL at 8:15 am Wednesday; predicted high of 90º
Taken a few minutes ago here in Pensacola RV Park
We ate breakfast yesterday morning with brother Darrell & his wife Lin at Breakfast Station in Leesburg, FL.

 It has a theme around railroad.  Some of their breakfast items were train oriented - I had a "Trainwreck" which was a plate full of sausage gravy over fried potatoes, a biscuit, topped with scrambled eggs.........absolutely delicious.



This was our parting after being at their place for 4 nights - parts of 5 days - and we took formal photos.

Enjoyed our visit and seeing their new house and area of Florida they now live in (They moved from Miami just last April).

Some unusual named towns.

This was at a Florida rest stop --- don't see this often!

Lots of clouds!

Endless miles of seeing only trees.
Drove some 430 miles yesterday.  Looking at GPS figures and found we are 838 miles from our home in Kenwood -- was 1,246 from Clarinda to Kenwood so guess we are making some progress.  Of course, have driven some 2,700 miles since we left home, but will get to Kenwood in La Feria, TX sometime.  We are going to do some sightseeing around here at Pensacola today.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  It was graduation night at Cox High School and they were about halfway through the ceremony when the principal said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a problem, Bubba is a few credits short and won't be able to graduate tonight."   Well now, Bubba was the starting right guard for Cox's football team, and when the student body heard that he wasn't going to graduate, they all jumped up and started to chant, "Give Bubba another chance, give Bubba another chance!"  Pat Dye and the principal had a quick conference and afterward, the principal announced that they have decided to give Bubba another chance. Bubba is told that he will be given a "One Question" math test and if he passes, he can graduate.  The question is, "What is 2 plus 3?" Bubba thinks for about 20 minutes and finally says, "I have it! The answer is 5!"  There is complete silence in the auditorium for a couple of seconds and then the entire Cox High School football team jumps up and begins to chant, "Give Bubba one more chance. Give Bubba one more Chance!"

A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, "I don't like the looks of your wife at all.”  "Me neither doc," said the husband. "But she's a great cook and really good with the kids."

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
A herd.
A herd who?
A herd you were home, so I came over!


Later, Lynn
