DELAND, FLORIDA | SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2010 - Pressure-treated crosses at each storefront downtown. The edges and ends of the 4x4 posts rounded soft, each one a donation by a local congregation. People out, shopping, sun, drinking in the coffee shops, at tables outside restaurant bars.
This morning Adrienne and I juiced two gallons of grapefruit from the tree and put them in the freezer. Stripped the bed and washed the sheets. We're gathering up our things. But in slow gear still. Wouldn't quite make it out of town in time to make any distance. So will stay one more night, leave for the open road again tomorrow, Easter morning.
At a coffee shop now, looking for the nearest biodiesel. And campsites. Tent is all ready, sleeping bags, cooler, lanterns. Tools are boxed up, ready to push deep into Yellow Truck's bed.
Long-haired kids on mini dirt bikes pass by outside.
Thank you Dave Horne for the mysterious phone call, Cousin Mike, Mum.
Happy Easter to all and to all a good Saturday night.

Glad you and Adrienne had time to enjoy bird sanctuary,'gators(glad I never saw one), and river bank without bathroom remodel completion desperation of your first visit to DeLand on school break. Hope Dave is enjoying flowers on Easter. Saw amazing red International pickup with '49 body and all '85 GMC innards today. Happy travels and happy Easter.
