Thanks Pat, all is well for now, seems to be getting better every day. Doc this morning and feel sure I will get a good report, fingers crossed. BJ I found it, Carried some left overs home in my crock pot last weekend, Miss Joanie washed it and set it on the stove so I wouldn't forget to carry it back to the cabin, I put my camera in it so I wouldn't forget it  ??? that's where it was on the counter in the cabin still in the crock pot.  :) :) :)
I loose stuff all the time like that, as you said usually the last place I used it.  :)

Looks like a great trip, from winter to summer in just a few days. :)

Before we knew it, it was time to head home. We had a good trip and we hope to do it again. It was good to get home though. Even if it is still winter.

When we got back from our walk we saw that there was a line for tickets for the glass bottom boat tour. We ended up getting on the last boat of the day and I am so glad we did. Was very interesting and I would highly recommend it. We had a good captain and he was very informative and interesting.

The water is so clear you could see it coming out of the springs .

Sunday morning it rained a little. It was a bit cooler with a nice breeze. My wife and I decided to look over the park a little better.

We were going to take the glass bottom boat tour, but they were worried about the wind and weren’t selling any more tickets until the boats got back.

We went for a nice walk down the beautiful trails. We didn’t canoe or kayak but there were lots of nice river paths for that to.

Before all that though it was time for a little thaw .

My wife, son and little dog headed south. We decided to visit some relatives in Florida and then attend the Sliver Springs Knapp in.

I was hoping to visit Pat B on the way but we didn’t get there. Maybe next time.

We had a really nice visit with my relatives. We always joke that the only time we see each other is at funerals and weddings. Most of the weddings are done so it was really nice to see them at a less somber place. So glad we visited them.

Then we went to Silver Springs. It’s the first time we have attended the event and I’m hoping not the last. We made it into a nice little vacation and kinda a scouting expedition to see if we liked it.

We liked it. Didn’t spend as much time at the event as I might have but enough to get a good idea of what it was about.

Mostly we just walked around and visited with people. Lots of good places to buy rock. Got myself some rock for souvenir’s. Met Allyn T and his son there. It was nice to meet them and I look forward to seeing what he does with the beautiful piece of Mokite he bought.

It was about 88 degrees and actually a bit of a shock to my wife’s system. She doesn’t do well in the heat so after a few hours we left to get something to eat. When we got out of restaurant it had cooled down considerably. We went for a nice walk.

I still have the birch bark canoe on my projects list and have not forgotten about it. Lots of stuff on that list though. It’s up there towards the top though.

It is March now. I’m not sure if you would say it came in like a Lion or a Lamb.

Sunday March first it was 17 degrees windy and snowing when I got out of church. Monday started out cold but sunny and then it started to warm up. Now most of our snow is gone or melting.

At any rate every day is another day closer to spring. The sun is getting stronger. The days are getting longer. It’s time to get the planter in the shop.

Glad the surgery went well pappy.

Just a thought on your camera. Last thing I recall you working at was the dog cemetery. Could it be there? I’m terrible about “miss placing stuff”. I always have to think about the last place I used it.

Hope you find it. Always enjoy your pictures.
