Navette
If you saw a Navette would you know what it was? We have a Navette next to us! Funny thing we saw the people when they came in on February 21. Then we didn't see them again. They were suppose to leave on the 22nd. We figured they were probably dead. Finally, they showed up today in a cab. Guess the 21st Ruth the lady woke up with a sharp pain in her right arm. They called 911, they came in took her to the hospital, they didn't do sirens but had their lights flashing! We didn't hear anything! Anyway, according to Paul, Ruth's husband that she did have a clot go through but it went through the heart without any problems and they say that the clot ended up in the right arm. Anyway, she is OK. They bought this 94 Navette. There were only 16 built and he has one!
This is the story:
Built on an Isuzu chassis, with a diesel engine, the Navette is a streamlined design that was admired for its sleek looks and excellent fuel economy. (Don't ask how you check the tire pressures.) The Navette Motorhome was first produced in 1990 by Bob Smith. By 1995 he had produced and sold 16 vehicles, including one special ordered by Kellogg Cereal. Unfortunately he had to close the company at that time due to severe illness. Smith listed the company for sale a few years ago and it still may be available. It is all fiberglass and hand built.
February 24 Parksdale in Plant City
Steve Barnett and Kathi came today for a visit. We took them to Lazy Days Cafe for lunch and then we rode out to Plant City to the famous Parksdale Strawberry Farm. For a small farm market it does very well! A very famous place, people from all over the world come here to enjoy their famous Jumbo Strawberry Shortcake! Today there was a line of people, probably took us 15 minutes to go through the line.
#2 is the Jumbo Strawberry Shortcake with ice cream and whipped topping.
#3 is the Strawberry Boat, it has strawberries, ice cream and whipped topping.
They have other choices, but these are the 2 that we used.
They also have fresh vegetables and fruit. I purchased some zucchini and cauliflower. I made the Zucchini Custard Bake (yummy) and steamed the cauliflower. I also bought a 1/2 flat of strawberries. I made a fast and easy strawberry pie. Amy and Carl enjoyed everything!
Our day was great, we had fun with an old friend.

1993 Tracker
Here is our new "toad" that we purchased today! We are so excited to get this ready so that we can pull it behind the Bounder!
It is a 1993 White Tracker, 5 speed, 2 wheel drive.
We got it for a darn good price, and it is in good condition. Needs new tires and of course we will go through it when we get back to Michigan.
We cleaned it from top to bottom, the upholstery had some stains so I cleaned them today, that is what you see in the picture.
How do you like it?

February 20,2009
It was a very cool setting this morning. By noon the wind had died down and it became a very lovely day. Over abundance of sunshine.
I made some lasagna and Amy stopped for dinner and then went to her
softball game.
It is now getting cooler, expecting a high of 31 in the morning.
Got the ceramic heater going, we are very cozy here in this RV.
Looking at some Spring Training Schedules for the Tigers!
We didn't do much today, Carl is still under the weather a bit.

Bob and Suzi's Birthdays
We didn't get a chance to celebrate Suzi's birthday on January 22, and Bob's birthday is coming up February 25, 2009.
They had this great place called Bob's Bunz in Islamorada to make this special cake for them! It was very good. It had a key lime layer and chocolate with delicious frosting! Yummy.
Happy Birthday to Suzi and Bob! Great friends! We had a great time with them in Key West.
Thank you Suzi and Bob.
