Day 23 - Marcy and Bill Sheck, Leesburg, Florida

We hated to leave Kathy Harkin’s place, but it was time to move on. We are just begining our 4th week on the road – and we are now on the homeward bound trail. We headed west for Leesburg, Florida where Joe’s sister Marcy and her husband Bill live. After surviving a good deal of road construction and missing two tolls (we found out that the I-Pass doesn't work here in FL!), we arrived at their place a little later than we had originally planned. Marcy was sitting outside waiting for us.

We got a tour of the house, it’s quite nice, nestled in the trees in a wooded neighborhood with a nearby lake. While we were at the house we also met Bill’s cousin Cindy and their many cats. Marcy and Bill took us for lunch to a Chinese buffet – and as usual, we ate too much! LOL! But we did have opportunity for good conversation and a chance to catch up on each other’s lives. Marcy and Bill moved here from the Miami area a year or so ago to help out with caring for one of Bill’s relatives. We’re not sure how far of a move it is mile-wise, but they said it was 20 degrees cooler in Leesburg.

After lunch, we drove back to their place, via a tour around the lake. We visited a little more in their kitchen, and then were on our way. Once again, the visit was too short. We are noticing a reoccurring theme to all of our blogs: our visits are too short and we are eating too much.
