November 2020 in Florida

This was our fast trip to the Magic Kingdom.

I wanted to get a picture of and taste MY cake.

This is the Constance's For Better or Worse Cake.

It was amazing!

Thanks to WDW News Today for the photo.

 

Our park has a doggy play area.  

I got to spend some time with Bowdi.

I was watching @TheTimTracker and they had a great video review

for Wine Bar George.  I am glad to say their review was accurate.

We hit the charcuterie before I got a photo.

We had the skirt steak for two. It was as perfect as it looks.

The grilled asparagus were perfectly cooked.

Then we took a short walk to Amorette's Patisserie where we shared

this Black Forest dream in a cup.

We have seen some wildlife out our front window.  

This one happened to be a camera ham.

My dad bought a pontoon boat before he came to Michigan.

This is the cleaned up version.

Athena and her family drove to Florida for Thanksgiving.

We had lots of boat trips and Ember got to use the camera.

She is very serious about fishing.

Athena, Ember and I spent a day in the Magic Kingdom.

I laughed so hard while she drove.

She had to ride the carousal 

Helping grandma make deviled eggs.

Before they left Ember got her hair trimmed.

She had so much baby hair.

It was great to have them here.

I finished off the month with some sunrise and

sunset photos.  The last one on the right is my hand at Photoshop.

Bill Update:

We met with the oncologist and his platelets are not bouncing back.  He had a bone and marrow biopsy done and everything looks fine.  He has not had chemo since Michigan and he has lost 3 pounds in a month.  She said there would probably be no more chemo and she ordered another CT scan.  He has genetic counseling on the 17th.  I am not sure what to expect.  He still has an apatite and we are grateful for that.    

October 18 -25, 2020 Turkeyville, MI to Haines City, FL

 We left Michigan on October 18th.  It was a warm sunny day.  We headed south to Sunset Springs RV Resort. They officially closed on the 17th but let us come in and park wherever we wanted.  The owners were fantastic and escorted us through the park because I missed the entrance and came in the exit.  This place was beautiful with all the colorful leaves on the ground.  It is defiantly a place to stop at again. 

We caught up with dad in Ohio at Amish Country Campsites in Winesburg, OH.  It was very wet while we were there.  They have a lot of pull thru sites and the ones on the end are better for bigger rigs.  It was tight getting out of our spot.  Our surge protector did not like their electric but we found a way to make it work.  There is also water at the sight and a dump station. 

This beauty came from the other side 

of the field just for a pet.  I would

I loved to give him a good brushing.

Great little restaurant we had

breakfast at.

Warther Cutlery is dad's favorite stop. 

He bought knives here and brings them back

to have them sharpened for free.  This 

company has a great history and museum. 

 

Another must see in the area is Lehman's Hardware

A few more miles down the road was

Fort Chiswell RV Park.  This place was easy in - easy out.

They also had propane fill up.

It was a little soupy in the morning.  We hung out

till 11 am when the fog started to lift.

Ebenezer Park is another favorite campsite in Rock Hill, SC.

When we are in the area I usually call ahead and see if we can

park at the Church where we stayed when we did our habitat builds.

This trip was a "drive till your done" trip and I didn't know where we 

would be when we were done.

They have upgraded this park and it really has become a gem.

There are so many great places to camp and

Red Gate RV Park in Savanah, GA is at the top of my list.  They 

had no sights available but allowed us to boon dock

in the field.

The next day as we were pulling out on our last leg of the

journey This Happened.  We called Jack's Mobile RV Repair on 

a Saturday and he was there in about 90 minutes.  He and his

son got the jack removed and the hydraulic lines closed and

they didn't break the bank.  The campground kept our place open 

incase we could not get out and came by to check on us. 

We will return here.

We finally made it to Oak Harbor

Update on Bill

We went to see the oncologist.  She was so happy

to see him.  We talked about the slow growth of the pancreatic cancer

and she said she has only seen it one other time and would like Bill to

see a genetic specialist.  On a flip side his platelets dropped from 83 before we left Michigan to 70.  He has not had any chemo.  The oncologist is wondering

why this is happening and he is set up for a bone marrow biopsy this Wednesday.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
