Brooksville for Christmas

Nan and I left Cleveland to spend Christmas with my mother in Brooksville, FL. We spent a couple of days in Mt Airy, NC, then went to Silver Springs, FL for 2 days. We wanted to try kayaking since we had never done this and they rent them at the campground. It was around noon and they told us we could have the kayak until 5:00. They said you go up stream until you see a fork in the river. Then go right at the fork, and in about 2 hours you will reach Silver Springs. We went upstream until we had enough, and floated downsteam back to the campground, and got back by 1:30. I didn't take my camera since there was a good chance we would flip the kayak. Although it was fun, I'm considering inventing a kayak that has a transom on the back so people can use an outboard motor to get to where they want to go in a reasonable amount of time.

We are in Brooksville now visiting my mother. The campground is a little tight for a rig our size, but we were able to squeeze in. There were leaves all over our site when we arrived. Yesterday a guy came to the site next to us with a leaf blower. Nan went out to talk to him thinking he worked for the campground. Actually he was just a friend of the guy that had the site next to us. He was going to do him a favor by blowing the leaves off his lot. Nan talked to him for a while, and next thing you know he's blowing the leaves off our lot, and he left the leaves on his friend's lot. Even at 54 Nan's still got it.
