Wed, Feb 22, Lazy Lakes RV
Park, Sugarloaf, FL: Awakened
to the sound of rain this morning. And it rained and rained—really heavy at
times. At a break in the rain I walked the trash down to the dumpster. Had to
walk through ankle deep water since the roads in here are pretty much flooded.
Around 1:00 the storm clouds cleared revealing a beautiful blue sky. Tonight we’re
going down to the Tropic to see “Harry and Snowman”—a documentary about a Dutch
immigrant who bought this Amish plow horse for the purpose of giving riding
lessons. A dapple gray who was almost white, hence the name Snowman. He sold the horse eventually. But the horse
escaped and came back to Harry. Harry realized this horse had to jump a bunch
of high fences to get back to his former home, so he started training him in
jumping. Long story short, this Amish plow horse destined for the slaughter
house won the triple crown of jumping with Harry on his back. What a great
story! Looking forward to seeing it tonight. Only showing for one night. We’re
heading down for dinner at Two Cents and then to the movie. Even though it’s
clear right now, there are more storms lurking out there in the Gulf. So,
awnings put away, umbrellas in hand, and off we go. Low 70s today.
