LIVING AT ADVENTURELAND

WE HAVE ENJOYED LIVING AT ADVENTURELAND CAMPGROUND, WE HAVE A LARGE LOT WHERE WE SET UP THE X-PEN FOR MAGGIE AND MARLEE.

 

 

 

 

WALT, AN ADVENTURELAND SECURITY GUARD BROUGHT TREATS FOR ALL THE PETS IN THE ADVENTURELAND CAMPGROUND. YOU WOULD HEAR SINGING AND THEN HERE WAS WALT!

 

 

 

MARLEE LOVED HIM AND WOULD GET UP IN THE GOLF CART WITH HIM, BUT MAGGIE NEVER GOT NEAR HIM, HE JUST THREW THE TREATS TO HER.

 

 

I WAS EVEN ABLE TO GROW FLOWERS HERE!!   BOUGHT THESE  HANGING BASKETS FROM THE FFA, THEY WERE PRETTY PITIFUL AT FIRST, DARRELL KEPT SAYING THEY WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL.....JUST GIVE THEM TIME......

 

 

 

 

HE WAS RIGHT....THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

 

 

 

THE GIRLS AND I MET WANDA AND ROSIE RIGHT AWAY AND IT WAS INSTANT FRIENDSHIP.....FOR THE DOGS FOR  AND WANDA AND  I!!

 

 

 

ROSIE REMINDED ME OF OUR  BELLA......THE GIRLS ALL LOVED EACH OTHER....

 

 

 

WE TOOK LONG WALKS IN THE EVENING TOGETHER AND WANDA AND I WALKED TO WORK TOGETHER EVERY DAY  ALL SUMMER LONG......

 

 

 

SHE WORKED IN DIPPIN DOTS.....WE WORKED ALMOST THE SAME HOURS....AND ENJOYED EACH OTHER'S COMPANY. SHE LOVED  M &  M AND I LOVED  HER ROSIE.

WE ENJOYED IOWA CORN ON THE COB.....WOW!! THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD....NAMES LIKE PEACHES AND CREAM.....VERY SWEET!!!

 

 

 

AND I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT......OVER AT BANDANAS BARBECUE IN ANKENY, IOWA, I FOUND BOILED GREEN PEANUTS....HAVEN'T HAD THOSE SINCE I LEFT FLORIDA IN 1961 AND STILL LOVE THEM AND HAVE TRIED TO EAT THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK ALL SUMMER LONG.....

 

 

 

ANOTHER WORKAMPER, BOB,  WOULD WALK AROUND THE CAMPGROUND AND GIVE ALL THE PETS TREATS.....M & M LOVED HIM....HE PLAYED BALL WITH MAGGIE!!

 

 

IT'S A WONDER MAGGIE & MARLEE DIDN'T GAIN WEIGHT, BUT WE WALKED ALOT!!!

 

BEV CAME IN JUNE AND WE GOT TO BE FRIENDS...SHE LIVED TWO DOORS DOWN, SHE HAD A VERY NICE DOG, ABBIE. AFTER ADVENTURE BAY CLOSED  LABOR DAY, SHE CAME TO WORK AT RIVER CITY.

 

 

 

 

IT WAS HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL MY NEW  FRIENDS AND WORKERS...BUT IT'S PART OF THIS LIFE, WE ALL PROMISED TO STAY IN TOUCH, AND  WE PLAN ON MEETING UP WITH SOME THIS WINTER IN TEXAS.
