Day 20 - Kathy Harkin, Barefoot Bay, Florida

Traveling from South Carolina to Florida wasn’t as far as from Connecticut to South Carolina but it seemed as far. We went through large sections of construction and it also took us several hours just to get to I-95 South, where we ended up spending most of the trip. Of course, not having our third driver also made a difference—Thanks Marilyn.

We arrived at Kathy’s house about 5:30 p.m. Kathy is our friend from Slater, Iowa who was also the postmaster in that town. After retirement she moved to the retirement community of Barefoot Bay and now lives in a nice place near alligators, egrets, inlets and a lot of water.

After visiting for a while, Kathy took us to the home of mutual friends, Pam and Dave Games. Dave is also a former postmaster but from Kentucky and Kathy and Sandy originally met them when Dave was the national president of NAPUS---National Association of Postmasters of the United States. We had dinner together at one of the many seafood restaurants in the area. It was good food, (Joe and I shared a broiled fish platter with extra shrimp…. Yummie!), with good friends in a casual and comfortable setting. What could be better?
