McGibbon Visit

Lakeland, FL: December 19, 2005

On our way to Florida for Christmas, we stopped in Lakeland, Florida for 2 nights. Joni’s best friend from college, Gayle (Hannah) McGibbon, and her husband live there. Joni and Gayle have been able to see each other a few times over the last few years and enjoy every minute they are together.


We parked our motor home in front of their house and plugged in our water and electric. Gayle and Dean offered to give us their bedroom, but since we brought our bed with us, it was easier for us to just stay in the RV.

One evening Joni, Gayle and Gayle’s granddaughter went to see “The Nutcracker”. Joni had never seen it before. We enjoyed our night out, while the guys stayed home and watched football.

One afternoon we toured Lazy Days RV, a huge motor home sales place. Dean sat in the driver’s seat of every motor home we checked out. Seems to us that RVing is in their future.

We told them of our plans for traveling through south Florida for the winter. They seemed to like what they heard and will join us when we go to Key Largo at the end of January. We’re really looking forward to spending more time with them.
