Okefenokee Swamp

Our plan for today is to do something fun!

We've been working so hard trying to get the house ready to put up for sale, and purging our stuff, that we haven't done anything fun for quite a while.  Of course the high temperatures have kind of put a damper on anything we like to do.

The temperatures have dropped and the weather has been extremely nice the past few days.  We're only getting into the low 80's during the day and upper 50's at night :)  Next week we may see some 40's.

The garage sale yesterday was pretty successful.  We made over $200 and sold a lot of stuff.  We don't have any expensive things for sale and I think the most expensive item was $12, so we were happy.  We had a lot of people so the time passed quickly.  I gave some silk flowers to a lady who wanted to put them on her 33 year old son's grave, and some Christmas items to some cute kids, some clothing to a poor Mexican lady.  Other items I nearly gave away  for very cheap prices. Hey, it saved me a trip to Goodwill!  Some of these people need these items more than I do.  There are a lot of Mexican people here, farm and nursery workers probably.  I'm not sure how many of them are here legally, but they are people and have needs too, so I have been giving some stuff to them.

Tomorrow we're going to get on the road early, and head east towards Valdosta, Georgia.  Al wants to stop at Sam's club and then we're going to head to the Okefenokee Swamp through the Fargo, Georgia entrance.  It's a pretty cool place with the biggest alligators I've ever seen.   No, we're not bringing the kayaks!  That is one place I refuse to kayak!

My Droid is still sitting all by itself in Tallahassee with no one to play with it.  I sure hate that it's not in my hands!  Monday will be the day...and it darn sure better be EARLY!  I am not a patient person!!
