Hello everyone - It has been awhile since the last blag - our arrival in Tampa, Florida. First grateful for USC winning Rose Bowl. Granddaughter,Sabrina, goes to USC. An old childhood friend, Chris Maillefert, lives in Tampa and came over for a visit. It has been over 58 years since we had seen each other. His dad went into the foreign service when Chris was 12 and they moved oversees. It was fun to see him and remember our childhood and old friends.

   Few days temps were cool. Once started warming up, we took a ride over to Tarpon Springs (will remind you of a Greek fishing village).

Tarpon Springs is known for their sponges. Our neighbor, Doreen, came with us. Walked around and had lunch at Yanni's

Skip had peel and eat shrimp and I had pasta (still have to be careful because of sore teeth). Doreen had a salad. All was good. On return, Skip decided it was nap time

  The following day, Skip and I took a ride over to Lazy Days RV Center re: getting the motor looked at and fixed. Have an appointment the end of February to bring it in for servicing. On the way back we stopped at Village Inn for lunch (recommended by  Chris and Virginia). Skip had liver and I had spinach salad. Lots of food and good. Since it is Wednesday, everyone is entitled to a free slice of pie. We took ours to go
