Big Freeze in South

Southern states do experience cold at times, but "freeze" continues & destroying crops!!! Rains last yr & into this yr were unusual too, so when we leave GA where cotton/peanuts still in fields (Farmers had problems getting into muddy fields & when they could get in cotton pickers burn up in cold weather. Heard 6 burned during 1 week in an area) Usually Fl farmers handle a freeze by spraying water, etc., etc. When freeze continues, they can lose!!! School children in Tampa not used to wearing heavy winter clothing, & most don't have any!!! Folks can "layer", but heavier clothes needed. Again, as we keep saying, is this Global warming?" It's "change" & last yr S. wasn't too warm. With fuel costs rising, add that to higher prices for fresh veggies, fruit, peanut products, cotton goods?
Prior to leaving GA, young farmer gave us "deer link sausage" & last yr, it was "pan sausage". Yummie!!!!

We left late at 2:00 p.m., Sat from Unadilla. Reason? Different things we forgot & returned to storage to retrieve them. I-75 S., usually has backed up traffic, especially through construction, but seemed we almost had highway to ourselves. We just mosied on through. Arrived at White Springs, FL, Exit 439, & parked at Lee's Country Campground - a pretty place where we parked yrs. ago. The younger lady always working so hard & we would recommend park as A plus. They take Passport America (1/2 price) & had full hook ups (50 amps)!! ahhhh ..They take other discounts also. She has been there 20 yrs & remembers us.

Sun., returned to I-75, debated re topping propane as only down 1/4 tank.....BIG mistake not to fill up!! When crossing Fl line saw diesel prices in Fl at $2.99 & know that is higher in other states. Got to Elk's lodge at Brandon, Fl. Every time we called earlier were told there would be plenty of room. NOT! New hookups not completed & we were lucky to get only 20 amps! We watch EMS to not go over 20 amps, & of course, use propane we had not planned to use. Our TV & Internet dishes have good view of Southern sky & that makes us VERY happy. They may get 50 amp sites installed yet this week?
Got set up, went to "not good" Mex rest. to eat, then off to visit Aunt & cousin, but left their address in MH (:(: Aunt's # in cell phone would not go through. Finally, H called & something worked!! Enjoyed nice visit, although late. Always fun visiting K's cousin Judy, her mother, Annette, & Judy's daughter, Catherine. Aunt Annette has memory like an elephant!! We will see them again before leaving Tampa, but today H is getting more info re Tampa Super RV show at fairgrounds, & need to shop at a close Sam's club. Did you catch a pattern of "forgetting?". Dr says, that's why we have pencils!!!
