Hi Sweetheart, just sitting on our porch and thinking about you and what you’re doing these days. Since COVID has reared it’s ugly head, we are again staying close to home although we just returned from the Naples area where Auntie Jo and I spent a month and Grandpa flew down door a couple weeks. We miss you all the time but especially when we’re so close to you. While there we have fun investigating new areas and places to go and see. Grandpa and I drove to Everglades city for the day. Had lunch at the Rod and Gun Club and went through the museum. Back in the 1940 and 1950’s, I think the city was bustling but now it’s a sleepy town. I practiced pronouncing the names of the Indian tribes as we passed by their land or what used to be their land. Chokoloskee was the most fun to say. Once I had it right, I was good to go!! They first settled in the 1870’s on land used to belong to the Calusa Indians. That region of Florida and around the ten thousand islands are rich in history with the merging of the settlers and Indians. The land is still so raw and untouched. Beautiful. Chokoloskee means “old home” in Indian. Didn’t know that but googled it and you know, google knows almost everything!! So they say anyway!
Have been watching Netflix “Homeland” and enjoying the scenic shots of Alberta, Canada. It’s about this teenager, named Amy, who is known for her kindness and love for horses. She’s called a horse whisperer so people bring their horses to her to “cure”. Kind of. Sometimes the horse is just picking up the tension from the rider so she brings it to the riders attention and then works on it. All sorts of storylines in the show.
Well, it’s time to sign off for today. I love you, I miss you and anxious for you to return to our loving family.
Your forever Grammie is here waiting
