Joe and Carol's Travels: The cows of North Florida

When we left our friends in Maggie Valley, we were on our way to Florida, Sunny Warm Florida !!! We have our tickets for Disney World and Universal Studios and warm weather.

We are stopping just one exit over the Florida line to see our friends Connie and Terry. We had met them at "Camp Mandalay" (the factory service department) in Elkhart Indiana about the first of October. We hit it off with this couple when we first met and hated to see them leave, so we are very excited to see them again. Terry drove up to the Flying J to lead us into the property, they have a lot of land and we would never have found it alone.

Wow, they are way out, off the beaten path, and what a beautiful place they have. Many big old trees with moss hanging from the branches. We parked right out in their back yard near a pond.

We had such a good time with Connie and Terry, They have a great home and we met Connie's Mom and their son Samuel. Joe and Terry fed cows and ran around all day, visiting with the neighbors and taking care of the chores. I spent the day with Connie, and had a great time. Connie shared some of her recipes with me, and she's a great cook. Connie and I took the golf cart out and went to the garden to cut some cabbage for dinner. We picked some grape tomatoes for me to take with us, and boy are they good. I froze several bags to use for sauce and in recipes.

Our last day there, Joe and I went out with Terry to feed the cows and I took these great pictures of them. The cows were so funny, they heard us coming and met us at the gate, then followed us mooing all of the way. They are so cute (for cows that is).
