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
goes well, the second reviewer will let me know I've been approved. If not and more information or documentation is needed, the second reviewer will let me know.
Mike and I drove over to Kissimmee to visit with Cyril (my brother) and Elaine on July 25. We're only about 80 miles from them and we don't get over there as often as I had hoped to visit them. Of course, this is the closest we've ever lived to them since Mike and I got married.
On our way home from Kissimmee we stopped at the Dairy Queen just off I-95 here in Sebastian to get our favorite Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard for dinner - it never disappoints!
Today we went down to Vero Beach to do some shopping and decided to eat lunch at the Southern Comfort Grill in the Miracle Mile Plaza. We had seen the restaurant when we were at Miracle Mile visiting the consignment shops, but hadn't ever eaten there. We chose a table by the front window and didn't have to wait very long for service. Our food was good and so was the service - we will be back the next time we are in the area.
