Peace River

On Sunday we moved south to the Peace River campground, we will be here for one week. We don’t have any plans for our stay here, just more riding bikes, soaking up the sun, etc. We may ride up to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City when it opens later in the week.

Last week we purchased a walking foot attachment for Millie’s sewing machine. She installed the accessory today and has been busy sewing bibs for the grandkids. She said the walking foot was the neatest thing she’s ever seen that you can attach to a sewing machine. 

Speaking of the grandkids, we skype'd with Evan and Marcus the other night. The three year olds are fireballs of energy that ran in and out of the picture on the notepad. Each time their mother called them back they would tell us some tidbit of information and then dart off again until finally they said they had talked enough to us.

We witnessed an exciting nature scene today. There is a ten foot alligator who claims the river bordering the campground as his territory. This afternoon we watched him fend off a six foot gator that was trying to get some of a deer carcass the larger gator had. We didn’t see the ending of this foray as it played out slowly. The smaller gator would retreat about twenty feet when threatened by the big guy but would slowly work his way back in to the deer. Unless the big guy decided to share I doubt the small one got any, the large gator was a formidable monster and could have easily eaten the smaller gator.
