STEVEN FOSTER FOLK MUSEUM STATE PARK

 back in florida and we are seeing things we hadn't know about...lar was looking at the map and he saw where there was this park and was not very far from where we were for an overnight..so we thought why not stay an extra day and go see it...we did not realize that we could have stayed at the state park till after we had registered here but it only cost us 18 a night...also it as easy on and will be easy off...

so this morning off we went  and found it most interesting...did you know that steven foster was raised in pittsburgh  but they built his museum here on the you guessed it  on the "swanee river"..wonder why...he was an accountant and did song writing on the side till his song



s became popular so he quit that job and turned to song writing full time...there is also a bell tower that rings on the 1/4/hr--1/2 hr --3/4 hr-- and of course it plays several of his songs on the hour

there alot of songs he has writen that i have no idea what they are and i don't think i ever heard them...of course one you hear every year if you watch the kentucky derby and sip mint juilps hahaha..

also we got a bonus the azelas are in full bloom and beautiful...

birds woke us up this morning..

and we are back on eastern time..darn we like centrral time...oh well..

life is still great
