After our New Year's Eve concert at Wingate, NC, we spent the night in a hotel and then left the next morning for Saddlebag Lake near Weirsdale, FL. It is on the edge of the Ocala National Forest. We are staying all week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cope, the parents of our Aunt Robin. They have a beautiful house, and lots of fruit trees!
While here we were visited by our friends the Burnettes, and we had a great time swimming and picking oranges (all types), lemons, limes, tangerines, and grapefruits! There are also rodeo and polo horses next door, so we have had fun visiting with them. We also visited our cousins Ron and Debbie Cockman in Clermont, FL.
