Caleb spends the weekend

Caleb spent the weekend and we had a lot of fun with him. I am putting out some pictures of Caleb at Monkey Joe's on Saturday. We went there when Sean was staying with us for a few days and both boys loved it, so we took Caleb back. Some of the pictures are of the "stinky feet" discussion Jimmy and Caleb had at Monkey Joe's. They both had a good time and I spent a lot of time saying, "Boys, boys, boys". I don't know which one was the worst.


On Sunday we went to walk up and down Riverfront. I think we walked poor Caleb's legs off but he made the entire walk, about 2 miles. Also, he played in the playground, and please look at the video of him going hand over hand across the monkey bars. He really did a great job!!


Next weekend we will be going to Atlanta to the Circus with Sean and Dawn. I will be sure to put some pictures of that visit when I get back. I just love being retired!!

Ocala Horse Fever

As most of you know our Condo is located in Ocala, Florida, in Marion County. Ocala/Marion County, according to the United States Department of Agriculture census, has more horses and ponies than any other county in the nation. As "The Horse Capital of the World", the are project of "Horse Fever" was perfect for Ocala. In September 2001, 52 live-size horses designed and decorated by local artists were displayed throughout Ocala. In March 2002, after being on display for six months the horses were sold at auction with the proceeds shared by the Marion Cultural Alliance and a local charity of the buyer's choice. Many of these horses are still displayed in Ocala by businesses or in the "town square". Below are some of the pictures I have taken. I hope you enjoy them.
