Visiting yesterday

55 years had passed since last seeing my old high school buddy Gordon (Scoop) Clark. We pulled into his 2 ½ acre spread on the outside of Crystal River, FL. for a few days of “catching-up.” His wife Jill, a gracious lady and equally fine master of house and kitchen, makes sure lightning-thinking, a thousand irons in a thousand fires, Scoop, stays “somewhat” grounded. They make a perfect couple and in turn made our too-short visit feel like a home away from home. Warm, true southern hospitality. We want to stay but blue roads beckon.
