Ordway-Swisher Biological Research Station

We have arrived at our winter volunteer site! We were met at the gate by our supervisor here and are looking forward to working with her. We are in the same site as the other times that we were here and are ready to start work tomorrow. Nice weather and smooth travels today. We met the other volunteer couple that are already working here. 

Tifton, GA

Our month in Carrollton went by quickly. As usual we enjoyed spending time with Janice’s mom, sisters, brother in law, and a niece and nephew. We spent a lot of time playing games at the table this year. Janice and one of her sisters got to spend some time exploring the capabilities of her embroidery machine and I completed a few fixit projects. I was able to volunteer for a few days at the county soup kitchen and visit with a few old friends there. Our granddaughter who works in North Carolina drive over to visit for a couple of days and her mom and another granddaughter surprised her by traveling down from Iowa to see her.

Today we left Carrollton and stopped for the night at a Walmart in Tifton, GA. Nice weather for driving today. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant in Waverly Hall for a delicious lunch. Tomorrow we should reach our winter destination in Florida.
