What do you do on Groundhog Day?

Sunday afternoon Jan 27th. Jim gets ready to skype with family in Winnipeg and also enjoy the wonderful day outdoors.

Lakewood Retreat is a large facility - these signs direct guests to the various buildings. Magnolia and Pinecone are large meeting rooms, Cypress and Cedar are motels with 8 and 9 units each which also have meeting rooms. Oaks is a family sized 4 bedroom rental space.

This photo shows the Cypress motel unit and it was where much activity happened this week. The painting crew of Agnes, Annette and Fern repainted 2 units while Jim replaced the carpeting. Jim also measured up carpet requirements for the rooms in Oaks and the Mini-golf course. The fence shown here was completed  by the SOWERS group in the last three weeks.

Tony supplied the ladies with a pail of paint for the doors and trim, but when they opened it they where surprised to see Magenta instead of white - oops! he picked up the wrong can.

So what do you do on groundhog day in Florida? Enjoy the warm sunshine - Why not pick fresh tasty strawberries. They made great smoothies for supper. Our small RV fridge is hosting 1 1/2 pails of wonderfull strawberries for the coming week. We will enjoy these with breakfast cereal, lunch salad and supper dessert. Who is coming to join us?

Friday night a number of the volunteer couples attended a fundraising concert for Lakewood Retreat by a Southern Gospel quartet - Archie Watkins and the Smokey Mountain Reunion.
