March trip to Georgia

We spent several days on our property in Rentz last week. We attended the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 21 and spent time with our friends from Brandon that now live in Dublin, Georgia. Dublin's history is rich in Irish history so St. Patrick's Day is a month long event with all kinds of activities. We were successful in getting our satellite dish set up so we can watch television now while we are in Rentz. The television reception is really bad since we are in the woods, so having satellite is great. We now have eletricity, water, and satellite tv. The only thing we need now is a new house! We were going over to visit a neighbor Sunday evening,March 22 and a large deer crossed in front of us in our driveway. We saw lots of turkeys and mallard ducks too. We really love it in Georgia and hope we can move there once the economy turns around.

Oscar's float got first place in the Strawberry Festival Parade

I am so happy to report that my grandson-in-law (Oscar)’s float won first place in the Strawberry Festival parade today. Pictures are on this blog. My son, Bobby, built the float on behalf of the company Oscar and Steve own, S & O Greenworks. I’m not sure any of you know, but my son, Bobby, (Becca’s dad), is a very good artist, and the gentleman, Steve, that designs S & O’s company logo and artwork, put their creativity together and came up with a winning float. It was the float that looked like a tank, listed fallen soldier’s names on the back, was accompanied by the three marines that walked behind it, and was a tribute to our troops. If you were at the parade, hope you remember which one it was.
