Well it's Saturday. Looks like another hot and sunny day here. Hanging around waiting on the dinning room set delivery. I hope it comes early so we don't waste a whole day.
We saw on the news a small town featured called Ruskin in Hillsboro County just south of Tampa on I-75. It's a small quaint town on the gulf. Mickey wants to take a ride to see it today but it depends on when the table is delivered. There's a seafood restaraunt right on the water. You can either drive to it or people can dock their boats at its pier and walk right in to eat.
Our news station feature "Hometown Friday" each week and shows another Florida town of interest. You would be amazed how many small historical towns there are in Florida. Last month they featured a town called Dade City. We took a ride and had a wonderful day. We visited St. Leo's College. It's a Jesuit community and the campus is huge and beautiful. St. Leo's Abbey Church is over 100 years old. It's all granite stone like St. Joseph's in the Bronx and most other old churches. You could never afford to rebuild these church's today with stone like that. The inside is all marble and Italian made tile. Hopefully we'll make it to Ruskin today to see another historic town. If not, then we'll try one day next week.
Have a great day everyone!
