June found us in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We stayed in a RV resort that was basically vacant. It didn't look vacant as there were many mobile homes there. It was eerie because the place seemed to be frozen in time. There were bicycles on front porches, but most of the windows were boarded up just in case a hurricane came while the owners were away. We actually got scared when we saw a man walking through the resort one day. There were so any stray cats there. Mama got scared a few times when putting trash into the dumpsters because cats would come flying out at her. I enjoyed the cats, but Mama was not as happy with them.

| It was hot there. The evenings were nicer than the mornings. We enjoyed walking in the rain here. |

We were told that this place is "wild" from November through April. It fills up with French Canadians. We can only imagine how active it must be right now.
 |
| Mama declared this place to have great burgers and the best fried pickles. Unfortunately, there are only locations in Florida. |
 |
| The beaches are beautiful, but very crowded. |
In July, we drove back to the St. Louis area for two weeks to visit family, doctors and to have some work done on our motor home. We stayed at Bennett Springs for a few days where Dad enjoyed trout fishing.
At the end of July, we headed to Memphis for two weeks. The first week, we stayed at the Graceland RV Resort. Mama and I really enjoyed staying there. Scout said it was too hot. Mama and I walked to the Graceland gates a few times and also to the Graceland shopping area. It was fun!

The folks have friends, Lee and Donna, that live in Memphis, so they got to meet us. We enjoyed meeting them.
We moved to West Memphis, AR for our second week of our stay in the Memphis area. We stayed at a campground that was right on the river. We watched the barge traffic.

| The sky was pretty here. |

| We came across this while hiking in the woods. BOL! |
We will conclude our review on another day as we can see a few of you are dosing off. BOL!

We can never see a picture of your RV without being amazed at how big it is. The beach looks wonderful - wish we were in one of those vacant homes!

Joey, I really like that RV park on the Mississippi in West Memphis. I stayed there several times! You take care in that hot weather, you hear!
