TRAVELERS REST: Glad To Be Back!

Last Monday, we left the Florida Central Fairgrounds in Orlando, FL and drove about 90 minutes to return to Travelers Rest near Dade City.  Our friends from Cary, NC -- Ken and Sally - were still parked across from us, so we spent a lot of time together before they left on Wednesday.

During the last couple of weeks, both of us have spent time recuperating from a severe cold and cough - Selene before and during Hamcation - and Hank after we got back, but both of  us are feeling much better now.  We've been doing a lot of resting and just enjoying the warm and sunny Florida weather, and taking part in park activities when we've felt up to it.

Tonight, we went to the weekly ice cream social and then enjoyed the great entertainment  provided by the Take the Hay Train Band.

Members: RANDY MORRIS - piano, accordion, tenor banjo, banjo uke, mandolin, mandola, ukelele, trumpet. CHARLIE MORRIS - vocals, piano. PAUL SCAVARDA - guitar, plectrum and tenor banjos, banjo uke, mandolin. BO FRAZER - fiddle, mandolin, 5-string banjo, guitar, bass. RICK RICHOLSON - upright bass and downright bass.

Genre: Jazz, Country, Western Swing

Travelers Rest has free professional entertainment every Sunday night (at least in snowbird season), and Wednesday night entertainment  for a reasonable fee.  There is also an orchestra, men's and women's chorus, cloggers, and other groups who occasionally perform - all made up of TR residents.

We'll be here until Monday, February 27.
