It's
a beaaauuutiiiful Thanksgiving Day in Winter Haven,
Florida.
We awoke to the sound of birds singing loudly outside
the guest room we are staying in. After taking a second
to get oriented I looked out the window and saw St.
Francis, the patron saint of animals, feeding the birds.
Though he was quite busy, he took a few moments to bless
us and our travels. He reminded us to be kind to all
animals we may meet on our journey. Tiki Jr. told him
all about Icy up in Ft. Wayne and how much Icy loved
hockey. St. Francis bid us farewell and seemed to disappear.

Just
moments after St. Francis left, our host Vicki appeared
and told us to watch out the windows for a Thanksgiving
gator!
This made us very nervous cause we thought we were gonna
have to wrestle a gator for dinner. We apparently didn't
need to worry cause Bob does all the gator wrestling
in this lake according to Vicki.
After an hour or so we still hadn't spotted a gator
and felt both relieved and disappointed at the same
time when Vicki finally informed us we were gonna have
turkey and not gator after all. She was foolin with
us! Ahha it's gonna be like that is it? :) No worries
we can take a joke!

Just
before the feast we took a few pictures with Vicki's
festive holiday ornaments. Tiki Jr. especially liked
the pumpkins and told Bob & Vicki about Gene the
Pumpkin Man in Mattawan, MI.

We
made short work of the Thanksgiving meal and felt quite
ready to take a nap.
Someone had apparently sampled the pumpkin pie earlier
in the day. Bob said it was us!
As I was getting ready to question Tiki Jr., Vicki winked
at us and pointed at Bob..... HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Bud & Tiki Jr.
