Busy Weekends in 2010

It has been a busy beginning to the new year the last two weekends. The first weekend in 2010 we had Mike's best friend from NC come for a visit. Cade and Mike got reconnected through facebook. They have seen each other several times and Cade came for a long weekend. It was fun to see Mike and Cade together talking about the past!

The next weekend in 2010 Mike and I went away to celebrate the good news from my surgery in November 2009. There was a cancer tumor and it was taken out. This was the cause of my health problems for the last six years. We went to the Herlong Mansion Bed and Breakfast in Micanopy, FL.
The movies Cross Creek and Doc Hollywood were both filmed in Micanopy and at the Mansion. It was a wonderful weekend away.
We drove to Payne's Prairie and enjoyed the cool wet weather and God's creation, but didn't see many animals as I had hoped. Maybe next time we will see some bison or spanish horses.

We went to The Yearling for dinner and tried lots of new foods: gator, frog legs, and quail It was all interesting and fun to be able to say that I have eaten "that" before.

The weekends have been busy, but wouldn't trade them for anything. Looking forward to a wonderful week.

  1. Sounds like you guys had a great time!! Frog legs?!! I'm not sure I'd want to taste those--were they okay??
    I will ask my sister in law where she got the pig and let you know. I agree--I think we'd be friends too!! =)

  2. I just found out...she bought the pig at Walgreens! I checked a couple around here, but I couldn't find them. Maybe you'll have luck where you are!
