The Frontier Kid

The Autobiography of Glenn J. Smith

April 2003

This is the 19th day of April 2003, I will jot down some of the things that has happened this year, we had to wait until after Dec.14th (Karen's wedding) to get ready to leave for Florida, so we left the 19th and arrived the 21st of Dec.. Everything was hunky dory at the mobile home, the weather was perfect for about a month, then it got a little cold for a couple weeks, but all in all the weather was fine all during the time ( four months ) we stayed. I played golf on Mondays and Thursdays every week, in fact I had my best game ever, since I retired--- an astonishing 18-hole 76, not bad for a old f----- Eh!!!

Ardis hasn’t played for the last 2 yrs. because she says she can't hit the ball far enough. She got her exercise by walking about 2 to 3 mile a day.

Our old friends and my golfing buddy Jim Crane only played the two games a week that the Park had scheduled because of a serious brain tumor operation he had last summer, they removed a tumor the size of a golf ball from his brain at John Hopkins hospital in Maryland. It's amazing how fast he has recovered; however, he has problems and is under a doctor's care and will be for a long time.

We didn’t have any family come down this year. We did have some people visit, my niece Norma Jean and her husband Dick Baker came over from Titusville, Fl. over on the east coast , also, Helen Lyon came over for a few hours from her son's park just east of Dade City. We managed to eat out about once a week mostly at the Golden Corral in Dade City, they featured sirloin steak all you can eat every night.

We came home earlier than we had planned because of a Easter dinner the family had scheduled the 18th of Dec. We started home the 15th on a Tuesday and arrived Thursday PM . It rained all day the 16th making it tough driving, we stayed all night at La Grange, Ga. the first night and at Seymore, Ind. the second night then on home the third morning.

Outside of the fact that my mind can't seem to muster any more facts or fiction, I'll stop for the time being. Talk to you later.
