Hello from Catrina in Deltaville, VA......been gone 6 weeks so a little cleaning up was in order followed by all the unpacking after we arrived at 12:15 today.
But to back track a bit......yesterday morning we said our good byes with hugs and cuddles to Annette, Brooke, Luke, Blair and Maeve (everyone else was either gone or still sleeping). Stopped at Drew's Diner for breakfast and then headed off to Clarksville, VA (4-hour trip). Cloudy most of the day but after many winding roads in the boonies, we came upon a little bit of paradise!
We met Jud and Sue 2 years ago in Okeechobee at Water's Edge RV Park. We've kept in touch and they were with us just over a year ago at the Lynchburg, VA air show enjoying the Blue Angels along with their 2 grandchildren.
So.....they had said if we were ever near them going back and forth to Catrina or driving Daisy, to stop in and stay awhile. We had so much fun at their lovely 100-acre homestead of lush landscaping, forest, water, etc. Jud and his brother-in-law built their very homey, charming home 35 years ago. Along with a pool, large deck, screened-in porch, outdoor kitchen, it is so quiet and peaceful!
We had drinks and vegetable pizza and off we went on a golf cart ride thru the woods, with the sun shining as we meandered along the water, here and there! Then they served a fabulous "lowcountry" meal or "Beaufort Stew" with red potatoes, kielbasa, corn-on-the-cob and shrimp. WOW......also a delicious salad. We had so much fun to catching up on all the Okeechobee happenings amongst all this beauty to soak up!
After a great night's sleep, we enjoyed breakfast sandwiches this morning before saying THANKS and good bye till we meet again (God willing) next January at Water's Edge.
Nice catch for Davis
