The highlight of our 2 months in Lake Placid was the visit from Geraldine, Gabby and Abby in January. They spent a week with us, the coldest week Florida experienced this year. Lucky for them. They said it was warmer than Dannemora! We went to Arabian Nights and saw a really nice dinner show which had many beautiful horses. Abby especially liked it but all of us enjoyed the evening. We spent the night in Orlando and spent the next day at Disneyquest which is a 5 story building full of reality games and arcade things. It was a great day. We stretched our legs sometimes and walked through downtown Disney. It was a great day and we arrived back in Lake Placid tired but happy.

While at camp Bill and Gabby went fishing but were not able to catch anything that day. The girls went swimming and rode bike on the grounds. It was like spring and summer here and we feel like it was a great time for all. Unfortunately they had to head back to upper NY and snow. Boy we do not miss that but we miss them. Thanks for coming down. See you down here next year we hope!!

Harry and Darlene Oliver live in Fort Myers. It was wonderful getting together with them. Darlene treated us to an 8 mile bike ride(did I say I needed more exercize?).

The golf cart was parked next to the tennis court in the complex. If you look carefully you can see it is a "Hummer". Imagine paying 8 thousand or more for a golf cart??

While in Florida we have the privilege of visiting those who have taken up residence here. We spent a weekend with Steve and Clara. Clara is Bill's aunt(Theresa's sister). It was a wonderful weekend. We were treated like royalty. We went to a flea market and I finally found a bike for me. That is good as we have too much good food at the campgrounds so...........well-enough said.

Some of the scenery from LPCCC. The building are beautiful and we have this very large cactus along with many palm trees as well as trees laden with spanish moss which looks a little like a mans beard. We heard a funny thing about the spanish moss. It is said that Henry Ford thought it would be an inexpensive stuffing for the seats of his model T. It resulted in the first vehicle recall as the moss is the habitat of some small insects which created much itching for the passengers.

Some of the men doing landscaping work.

All the ROAM volunteers working at Lake Placid Christian Conference Center (LPCCC)

We go from working on the buildings by painting etc. to working on each other. Verla is cutting hair and Anne is doing laundry. In Lake Placid we are fortunate as we have laundry facilities available to us.

People we work with volunteers and staff from LPCCC.

Bill getting ready to cut some trees. He has a thing for this!

But cuttings trees from a truck in a bucket named DUMBO is a bit much. The work was done successfully and DUMBO was enlisted in some other duties.
