Grandson Lucas and I enjoyed lunching with about 65 marines wednesday noon and then running up I 75 to Ft. Myers to take in the Henry Ford and Thomas Edison Summer Homes and Museums....See the slide show on the right side marked 135 also..click on the pictures and you can view them larger and slower with tags explaining what your looking at...That Mr. Edison sure had a nice 14 acres of trees and beach front property..He was a brillian man and help pattens on 1093 different things...He was also very wealthy and dabbled in about everything he invented...Henry Ford liked hanging out with Edison so he purchased the land next to him and built a home almost as nice as Edisons....Great place to spend an afternoon, especially for a soldier just home from Irag as the museum lets them in free and all those in their family gets in for half price....So quite a deal and yet another reason to go there just because they are patriotic.....
Well Lucas heads back to the freezer tomorrow afternoon..he will be scooping snow by dark I would imagine as he is going home to about 10 inches of that wonderment...
We have had a good two weeks, played several games of golf, enough to loose most of the balls in both bags into the ponds of Silver Lakes..But Lucas purchased some "second chance" balls at Wal Mart so I am good to go on that. We fished a couple days but caught zippo the second day but had a tremendous day with the Thompsons the day before...We tanned at the Marco Island beaches and picked up sand dollars one afternoon out on Tigertail beach. We cooked a lot and dined out a lot also..Of course don't forget our daring ride threw Shark Valley with the likes of our friend Ernie Maier....Today Lucas shot a 45 and I a 46 on our little golf course here at Silver Lakes.....All in all it was a good visit...So tomorrow evening I will be alone for a few days preparing for my next guest coming in a week....sweet pea...
Well turn to now and clean the coach inside and out even try to throw a little wax on the outside...That is no easy task when the job is do-it-yourself...Usually taking about 3 days to achieve the like new look again like the day when it was..
