Days 4 through 7 - Trenton, FL
What a wonderful few days with friends Bob and Chris in Trenton, Florida. Those two, plus Jerry, were all firefighters together, working for the City of Milwaukee Fire Dept. Retired now, it was great to hear all the stories (some heard before; others new for Rita) and to enjoy time together. We had thought there were other retired firefighters in the immediate area but learned they were actually many miles away in Florida. We were very content to stay with Bob and Chris and enjoy some special time.
Trenton, along with surrounding towns and counties, is horse country (some cattle). Bob and Chris own a horse farm. They have a very nice home on enough acres to very comfortably house their seven horses with Scooby, their dog. We learned a lot, including how much work horses can be. We've often wanted to have a horse or two ourselves but given our inexperience, never understood the work that goes into owning them. Kudos to the great job Bob and Chris do with their acreage and horses, etc.

Next Day - Yep, that's a real lion
There was an animal preserve between Trenton and Chiefland that had this and a number of other very large cats
Farewell to the horses
If we've got them correct, starting from left, it's Cindy, Vie, Kit, Robin, Lilly (head down), and Ellie. Might have Lilly and Ellie reversed - Chris will have to let me know.
