EG Simmons Regional Park, Ruskin FL
We brought fresh strawberries and cottage cheese for breakfast that we shared with Dan and Joel. Lindy was at work and Joel had to leave to do another gig in the afternoon; he wanted us to stay another night since he was not working tomorrow. But, we had not planned to stay two nights because there was an art show in the park at which we were staying. And, we are moving our camper down there next Sunday for the John Schindler 90th B-day party on the 25th. We plan to “open up” their fifth wheel for them before they arrive, i.e., activate the water and drain systems, clean and set up patio tables and chairs, wash windows, etc.
This year, John and Shirley had stayed in northern Michigan as an experiment to see if they could tolerate the winter weather. The verdict is they could not. Then, both of them needed surgery. John is still recuperating from his hip replacement and needs an OK from the doctor to travel to Punta Gorda. So we will be pitching in to help them out.
When we got back to Ruskin, we drove out into the farm lands where Goodman Farms has a produce stand/snack bar. We replenished our strawberry supply and each had a strawberry shortcake with ice cream and whipped cream. Decadent!
