Busy times in Florida

Friday was an unusual day, in that we were informed of the passing of two of our friends. First was Bob Graf, one of the senior members of the Fiddle Club. Bob was about 75, and finished his life in Hospice. Later, we learned that Victor (Herbie) Mohr had died in the morning. Herbie was 75 and in poor health the last several years.

I am not sure butI think that leaves 5 male Mohr named survivors of the Clara Mohr family. That would be myself, Jerry, Derek, Shawn and Eli.

Anyway, Friday found us in St Augustine, garage sale-ing and touring. Lester and Sue arrived safely home in Mayville during the evening.

Saturday, we went to the air show at Cecil Field. It was very interesting, with lots of acrobatic stunt flying, including wing walking. The best parts (to me) were the comparison of the Air Force planes, with a prop driven Mustang P-51, the first jet fighter, the Sabre F-86 and the F -15 Strike Eagle. The Navy had a prop driven Corsair and The current F-18 Hornet. The planes were flown individually, and in formation.

Today, being Sunday, we went to the St Johns Flea Market, and then to K-Mart, where Laura used coupons at K-Mart, to purchase $88 worth of stuff, for $19.20. She loves to do this. Then we went to the pier where a "duck " race was in progess. You pay $5 for a duck and are assigned a rubber duck with a number. They take all the ducks out to the end of the pier and dump them into the ocean. The first 22 ducks to arrive at shore receive prizes. We got there too late to get a duck.

We came home and went for one of our last boat rides for this season. We found about 50 gators, including "Huey", whom we haven't seen for several years." Huey" is probably the largest gator we have ever seen in the wilds of the St Johns.
