We loved our three months in Charleston and would consider volunteering at the park again sometime in the future, but for now we were glad to leave the cooler weather of Charleston for the balmy temperatures of Florida.

Our first stop was Lake Worth to see Tommy, Jee-Won and Colton.

We spent a weekend with my brother Steven, sister-in-law Vicki and her dad, Bob, in Ft. Lauderdale.

Next stop was Wauchula (near Sebring). We stayed at the Thousand Trails park for two weeks where we connected with fellow Ohio Valley China Collector Club members, Howard and Linda, who live there. They shared with us their many pieces of Blue Ridge Pottery.

The next two weeks we were in Clermont (west of Orlando). Quite a few Tetoners live/stay nearby, so we spent a lot of our time eating, drinking and playing games with friends, Connie & Phil, Ruth & Jerry, Darlene & Joe, Kathy & Dennis and Jeff (Stephanie was working).
