Flagler Beach, Sebring

From Jose

After visiting with my cousins Isabel and Miguel near St Augustine we decided to check out the tourist part of the city.  Yep, it's touristy, and crowded. Both Diane and I had been to St Augustine before so we made this one a quick drive-by.

We headed South on A1A a few miles to Diane's aunt Nan and cousin Danny and his wife Tina and cutie dog Daisy in Flagler Beach, FL . We were wondering what would be the best way to introduce our dogs to Daisy. Both Danny and Tina said Daisy is very mellow and would be fine with our dogs.  So we just let Maguire and Matilda out and they all got along fine. Danny and Tina have a canal right behind their house. Within minutes of arriving there we were saying that Matilda might jump in the canal and lo and behold Maguire walked off the edge and into the water. I think he did not see the edge.  Both Danny and I ran over ready to jump in, but Maguire swam to the wall and Danny just grabbed him by the harness and brought him up. Poor Maguire. He did not know what happened.

We had a great visit with them.  That night we parked the RV at Nan's and Diane slept in the house, Maguire stayed with me in the RV.  Matilda was not going to let Diane's bed go unused and slept there all night. In the morning Nan made us a delicious breakfast and told us many stories of her younger days. Then we went back to Danny's for a few minutes before heading south to Sebring.

Wait a minute... We went from Flagler Beach to Sebring. What happened to Orlando, Oviedo, Titusville, etc? Well, my friend Patty lives in Sebring and she's not feeling well so I decided to fast forward to Sebring to cheer Patty up. We will catch up on Orlando later.

We just arrived at Sebring and got to spend some time with Patty.  We all saw 'Santa Paws'. Alright, it's past Christmas but that's a cute movie and it's Patty's favorite. I'll report more on this visit on my next update.

Stay tuned.
