From Grandma's 1914 diary:

February 15, 1914 Sun, was sick, had four callers.
February 16, 1914 Mon, felt a little better, read five Psalms, had three callers.
It was only a short walk to Pleasure Island at Downtown Disney to taste the Pleasures there. The pleasures of blue sky and warm sunshine made it seem like a paradise compared to the snow, ice, and grey skies in northern Ohio.
The weather here has been steadily improving and this week it's 75 to 80 and still blue skies. We hear from family in Ohio that it's warming up there but still a lot of ice to melt. We hope it's all gone by the time we get back.
Below is a video of a giant swing they have in Old Town and is one of those things that you have to be a little crazy to do I would think or at least very adventureous to do.
We went up to a huge flea market on Monday in a small town named Webster. It is purported to be one of the five largest flea markets in America covering 40 acres with 2,000 booths. We got into a line of traffic going to the market that inched along at about 5 mph which took a while to go the last 2 miles. There was a lot of people there shopping as well as enjoying the beautiful day. It's always fun to talk to the vendors at those places - some real characters there. After we got past the imported Chinese stuff and into the area of attic and basement stuff it was a lot more interesting.
Our purchases included kettle corn, baked sweet potato, baked white potato, home made kumcout (sp) ice cream, and a post card from 1977. The card was supposedly from the mother of the person we bought it from and told about the lousy time she had on a cruise and there was no liquor available.

We guess that's all to report for now. The biggy for today will be a trip down to Bok Tower.
More later.
