Oscar and Oliver wistness Florida

Oliver
Oscar


We left Windsor with Oscar as our companion in the 5th wheel. It was surprising to see that he survived the trip to the sunny state- Florida. In November-on American Thankingsgiving morning Oscar no longer existed. So in February we purchased Oliver. Both are Japanese beta fish. They are from Japanese rice fields ; they survive in little pools of water. Oliver soon will be competing with our little dog which we will get by the end of April. We believe that the two will get along just fine. There will be further blog on the two pets.

FLORIDA AQUARIUM

When Will,Diane,John and Linda came to visit on January 28,2007 we went to Florida Aquarium which was interesting. The day was windy and cold so it was a pleasure to be inside where it was warm. The aquarium was educational. There were many birds, ducks and varoius fish. We were able to see feedings of the otters and sting rays. There were fishes of various sizes and colours. We even seen sea horses which I thought were just a myth. The pictures taken do not do justice to the colour, especially the coral which are very beautiful.

friends from windsor came to Florida

January 28th, we had a great visit with our friends who came from Windsor, Ontario.
Will and Diane on the left;John and Linda on the right with Stew. This picture was taken at Plant City at Parkesdale fruit stand-greenhouse eating the world famous strawberry shortcake. Bus loads of tourist would come just to have the shortcake and would stand for hours in line to this mile high dessert. There will be more on Plant City in March as that is when the Strawberry festival is held from March 1-11. It is a big affair with 2 performances a day - country and western performers such as George Jones, Gretchen Wilson,Randy Travis,LeAnn Rimes and many others, plus christian artist Casting Crowns. Plant City began as a flourishing railroad town in 1800's.More on Plant City click here www.plantcity.org
