Please enjoy a story (hopefully with some Shutterfly photos) about our house guests whom we enjoyed the week after Easter.
They are Marianne and John Konopack, our niece and nephew, from Milford New Jersey. Their blogspot is Fishin' Fanatics :-) . They have chosen for their retirement adventuring a doolie (Diesel) truck into which a huge slide-in camper fits This visit they had added a 14 foot fishing boat tagging along behind the monster camper. They both love the out of doors and enjoy it more than most. It was a treat to show them around Wellborn suburbs because John is a hunter with a well developed ability to SEE and identify and enjoy all creatures great and small. His zest for life must be contagious. All four of us loved life extraordinarily well while we were together.
They had never seen a Manatee in the wild so our Go See was to Manatee Springs where the water temperatures are just right for the manatees to be lolling around in the flow between the spring boil and our Suwannee River. Simultaneous to our visit to Manatee Springs a large group (150 but not all at once) kayak enthusiasts were enjoying BarBQ lunch stop there. Great people-watching serendipity for us as they arrived paddling amongst the mantees. The through paddlers started days ago at Spirit of the Suwannee. Some seem to have been doing segments of the week long paddle.
We had a picnic at Manatee Springs. Marianne perched her camera on a fence and then scurried around to be in the photo herself. Her daddy had done that years ago so i know he smiled down from the heavenlies
The azaleas in bloom at our house are being enjoyed by us and our butterflies now. Our log home that Jack built was our home base for the Manatee looking excursion. Another outing was to Maurice Geiger orchid greenhouse in downtown Wellborn. We also gave them an opportunity to witness a birthing of twin goats at Bonnie Scotts. That was a new experience for them and for the nanny. They all did well. It was as tho God and Scott's Nanny did it just for us and our company.
Can you find four turtles, four people, 2 manatees, 2 old folks at home, 1 dog named Sooner, 2 butterflies, lots of spanish moss in a gnarled old tree with resurrection fern, a spring boil, and add it up to a Great Adventure you now can enjoy vicariously.
Just copy and paste this http address and click the return. I hope it works for you.
