Briana

My youngest daughter, Briana and her boyfriend Anthony are in for a long weekend. I haven’t seen them in a while because she is always working. She is a big rig driver and is currently hauling groceries for Kroeger’s in Ohio. She is a hard worker with a strong determined will. I am so proud her. It is really good to see them both. I wish they lived closer.

We joined 19 friends and family for the fish fry at Orange Blossom Country Club. The food was great and a good value (AYCE fish for $10.95) and our server, Rachel was extraordinary! She was efficient and patient with us (gabbing while we should have been deciding what we wanted to eat), and the order came out in a flash, with barely a glitch.

We are taking them to Silver Springs today to see 38 Special. If you live here in TV and have not gotten your season pass to Silver Springs you are missing out on the bargain of all bargains. This nature park is old Florida at its best. It is Florida before Disney. It is where classics like Tarzan, Sea Hunt and I Spy were filmed. The beauty of the Springs and River by way of glass bottom boat rides alone are worth the $69. yearly pass price but when you add the free concerts (last year included Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, The Beach Boys to name a few) and the Christmas festival of lights it is too good to pass up. This jewel is only 25 miles north of us, very handicap friendly and I recommend the experience to everyone young and young at heart.
