Florida Tour Day Four: Monday, July 27,2015

The day started out in the fog.  We left Tallahassee at 7:00 AM heading east on I-10 towards I-75 South.  We followed I-75 down to Ocala and then Fla 40 towards the East Coast in order to get to Lake Mary to meet our friends from the 1950’s in Michigan.   (Yes, we did use the interstate; we sometimes do when pressed for time)  It was a six hour journey of 270 miles.  Lunch was at 1:00 PM.

The first pix are of the dense fog that misted my windshield; they show Andy faithfully leading the way.

The next picture is of Julie Collins, Cherry Collins Finimore, me, and Andy (clockwise).  Picture yourself meeting with someone you have not seen for 57 years!  What fun we had remembering the past.  They were all good memories of Bob and Julie Collins and their family–especially Cherry with whom we hung out after church.  Bob has been in glory now for four years.  Andy and I agree that he taught us that real men can love Jesus.  He was everything we wanted to be:  the life of the party, effervescant, joyful, kind, rambunctious,  What a man he was!  He and Julie were our heroes; one could not do much better!

We are now up near St. Augustine which is our destination tomorrow.  Today we were in and out of rain; we are hoping for a dry morning to visit sights in St. Augustine.
