Loaded car & breakfast with Marjorie & Mary Emily at the “Ranch House”. Left Ft. Lauderdale about 9:30 & headed West on “Alligator Alley” (Rt. 84)
Good birding – took my time & stopped often. At Buena Vista Beach ate lunch & gathered shells. Arrived at Carl & Esther Rieger’s in Venice about 5:00. Kathi called & Judy not back to work. Kathi worried about receipts but I assured her we’d have enough. Called Lillian at Mark’s in Ft. Lauderdale – she got in at 3:30 but won’t go to Plant Workshop with me. Drove Carl’s no power steering or automatic transmission Dodge to see Katie & Charlie Schneider. Charlie looks like daddy did. Grey.
