The Krate EH



This was a new one to us! Not a golf car, not a regular car, but more of a jalopy, or as noted a Krate. I don't know what the "EH" refers to. Notice also the Ontario license plates.

The sides are real wood, and it has a bike rack. A thing of beauty. And it was parked in plain sight in Lake Sumter Landing.

Canadian waterfalls


Orlando, Florida: A waterfalls at Epcot's Canada pavilion. I wonder if Canadians if this is somehow familiar to Canadians or if it's just a generic Canadian waterfalls?

The Veranda Restaurant


The Veranda Restaurant in Lake Sumter Landing appears to be invaded by golfers driving funky little golf cars.

Hiding out in Micanopy


We had a 1957 Olds exactly like this (same color, etc.) except ours was a 4-door hardtop. Magnificent car. All that chrome!

The Smythe Building - Spanish Springs


The P. B. Smythe building has nothing to do with P. B. Smythe, whoever that was. It was designed to appear about a hundred years old. In reality it's about ten years old and houses a commercial establishment. But it looks good.

Breaking up at Ormond Beach


This is called a gull tiff. The one on the right is saying "I'm outta here. I'm sick of you getting all the good little fishies. You can go it alone from now on!"

The gull on the left doesn't seem to care, however.

Christmas in June?


This photo was taken last June...it appears the proprietors were getting a jump on the season.

By the Sea - Handcrafts by Ron and Carol (Cedar Key Seafood Festival)





Carol Wiggins, along with her son, Ron Marks, operates a business called By the Sea, which consists of beautiful handcrafts featuring nautical themes some of which are shown in the above photos. We were delighted to make their acquaintance at the Seafood Festival of last weekend.

They live in Port Richey, Florida, but love Cedar Key and visit the island frequently, and most importantly, they are great fans of this blog.

If you wish more information about these handcrafts, you may contact them via email at: 1228wed@gte.net.
