What a great weekend


 An Old Friend Greg Simmons and Myself

What a great weekend.  On Friday night we went to a high school cross-country track meet where  my granddaughter Brittney ran for her school, Satellite Beach High. She is also on the swim team, but that is a post for another time.   It was held at the rec. complex in Stuart Florida; a wonderful facility.  She finished her 3 miles in 26 minutes and 20 seconds.  We are so proud of her.

Joan found a great little campground, Phipps Park just west of I-95 at 2175 SW Locks Road, Stuart, FL.
  What a wonderful little park.  It has only 9 RV sites, 4 tent sites and 10 boat slips.  It is located on the St. Lucie Waterway Locks.  Joan and I had coffee overlooking the water as a nice 55 degree cool front rolled tough.  Nice!

Saturday morning we had breakfast with Greg Simmons, a much older friend who  graduated from my high school, Dan McCarty High in 1969. I like to say mMuch older since I graduated in 1970: Greg,  his wonderful wife Shelia, my wife Joan and my granddaughter Brittney had a leisurely breakfast and then toured the old downtown section of Jensen Beach.  A great time was had by all.
