Williamsburg to Florida

December 21, 2018 - January 7, 2018

Although we've had an amazing number of beautiful days this December, it was definitely getting colder in Virginia.  We decided it was time to get serious about moving south.

Williamsburg, VA to Yulee, FL.

The Chrysler Museum - Perry Glass Studio

Glass gets it's color from specific elements on the periodic table.

Naturally occurring glass.

For those of you who find this as fascinating as I do.  You'll have to magnify these to read them.

Saw a terrific demonstration of glass blowing:  The two women worked together to make a Christmas wreath.

The bubble of glass is pressed together to make it like a flat bottle then they heat the center of the glass.

Pushing the hot centers from each side until they can make a hole through it.

Smoothing the hole.

Adding leaves and berries for decoration.

A few final touches and it's done.

This cow is made from tini-tiny glass beads!

Bayboro, NC - home of a college friend.  JoAnn and I did our Medical Technology internship together at Wayne County General Hospital in Wayne, Michigan.

JoAnn and her husband Lou created this beautiful spot from a very rough thicket of land.
Talk about sweat equity!
The house is raised to avoid flooding during hurricanes.

Their dock and sailboat.  They are situated on the Bay River.

Lou let me do a little work using his John Deere tractor!  So much fun!
Would love to have one of my own!
