Sunday, January 2

Rain, rain, so much rain all day long!    Where in the world is Waldo?   Well.....Daisy and we found this little berg here in Florida (800+ people) and tonight we are settled at the Rolling Villas RV Park.  Despite the weather, was a nice drive thru rural country and little towns avoiding the interstates.

We left Wrens for Swainsboro and 11:00 Mass at Holy Trinity.   Quaint little church (11 pews) with very friendly folks.    Father John Brown asked we visitors to introduce ourselves (one other couple from Marietta, GA).    Father has been to our Newman Center when he took a youth group to Minnesota and stopped there and had a really warm welcome and overnight stay.   Since it is the feast of the Epiphany, 3 kings came in church at end of Mass dressed in their fancy garb (boys, 8-10 years old) and carried 3 different kinds of  treats for all to enjoy and take home.

Along the way, we passed many dairy farms (holstein), pecan farms, cotton fields and Baptist churches.

Anne went to visit Dad today (Judi had been there just before Anne arrived).   He's going  thru lots of tests and hoping his doctor will come in tonight.   He said he's eating too good - Dad has always been a "good" eater.    Maybe I'll be able to talk to the doctor tomorrow.

Found an Arby's today that had chicken salad - delish, but many Arby's no longer carry this sandwich. It has pecans and grapes and is sooo yummy!

While we had all this rain in Georgia and north Florida, Philip and Annette were walking the beach in south Florida with 75 sunny degrees!   Hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!

Pat: I know where Waldo is!!!! We go through Waldo going to Nate and Jane's house. Nate has always warned us about Waldo being a speed trap, so don't speed through there. Also, my brother lives in Marietta, Ga. and so does Bob's sister Nan son Jeff. Small world and especially that Father John had been to Bloomington also. Hopefuly the rain is through. We had sunny skies today and still in the 50's so not that warm, but a lot better than the 30's we had in December. The weather man said we only had 2 or 3 days in December with normal temps. Love, Judy
