Wednesday and Thursday it poured down rain. It was reported that we got almost 5 inches over 48 hours. Late evening on Thursday there was a huge puddle in our road. Three ladies decided to put on swimsuits and grabbed a swim ring and noodles to sit and splash in the water. Me thinks they had been drinking!!!
John, Rick and David thought they might play golf on Friday but that didn't happen due to a very wet course. While they did other things we ladies, Libbet, Mickey and I, toured the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Homes and Gardens. Edison brought many kinds of trees from around the world to Florida, some of which he tried to use for making rubber or latex. The homes and gardens were lovely and the massive Banyon Tree just keeps getting bigger. I especially enjoyed the drive along the street lined with palm trees.
Aunt Shirley and Uncle Harold live on Sanibel during the he winter. They moved to a new place last year so we were excited to see their home and have dinner with them on Saturday. It was a lovely evening with lively conversations and good food.
Today we drove down to Naples where David and Mickey have a condo. We looked at some model homes then rode our bikes to one of their favorite lunch spots. On the way back we rode through some pretty neighborhoods. Mickey was excited that she rode a whole 14 miles!
That should catch you up with our trip thus far. I'll try not to go so long between blogs from now on.
