Florida Pioneer Descendants Certificate application done!

I finished up my Florida Pioneers Descendant application and had all my documentation organized and mailed the packet July 13 to the Florida State Genealogical Society. I've included documentation so our son Fletcher and Mike's brother Chris will receive certificates in addition to Mike. I will also get a researcher's certificate for doing the work.

A lot of the documents I had to make copies of were legal size and our current printer/copier could only copy letter size, so I got out our OLD flatbed scanner to see if it would still work. It's a HP8200 legal size flatbed scanner that we bought in 1997. I couldn't get the original HP software to work with it, so I ended up purchasing VueScan Scanner software and the scanner worked great!

So now I just have to wait for the review process to see if my application is approved. The application goes to 1 reviewer and then they pass it on to a second reviewer. If everything

Visiting Navy Seal Museum & Local Eateries with Mike & Gayle

Our friends Mike and Gayle from Alabama are traveling here in Florida and stopped by for a few days' visit on July 10. We took them to one of our favorite local restaurants here in Sebastian for dinner Squid Lips. Gayle ordered Fish N Chips, Mike had the Shrimp Basket, I had the Salmon Dinner with Citrus Butter and Mike (my Mike) had a hamburger.



On Saturday the 11th we took Mike and Gayle down to the Navy Seal Museum in Ft. Pierce. We stopped in Vero Beach for lunch at Mrs. Mac's Fillin' Station before heading down to the museum.



We arrived at the Navy Seal Museum a little before 1:00.



We didn't take a lot of photos at the museum because Mike and I had already been there a few years ago. But we did take a photo of Gayle as a Navy Seal.



Sunday we took Mike and Gayle on a drive along A-1-A up to the McLarty Treasure Museum at the Sebastian Inlet State Park. 



On July 24, 1715 twelve ships loaded with gold, jewels and other treasure departed Havana
