Trip to Clermont

Yesterday day morning was still cool,so it was a good driving day. I drove out RT 52 to interstate 75 and headed north. After a short time I pull off to head east on RT 50. I keep saying we were going to Clermont but we were going to Groveland which is a small town.

I always like to get off the interstates so I can see the things that were popular during the days before so many of the super highways were build. As we were going we saw the flowers beside the road.

Also the old houses that years ago was someones pride and joy.

When we use to come to Florida years ago on these road people were still living in them. Of course this was 45-50 years ago. It is sad to think of the times past when the fields were being worked and the crops growing and now seeing full grown trees there. But life moves on.

We were glad to see our friend Jerry and she was glad to see us. After a few hours of our visit we started back home. I took Rt 41 south so no interstate coming back. There is a used book store that Nancy likes to stop into for some old books to read. Along this road are old mom and pop motels of the past that are now apartment for people to live in. With the interstate taking all the traffic they have no one stopping for the night so they've got to rent them out for families to live in. It wass a nice day.
