February 21, 1999: Grandma Gonyo & Kim Creger



We left Nicole's house and headed back to Zephyrhills to see Kim and Grandma.    Kim, Sue, and I rode over to Lakeland in the red convertible and had breakfast at Bob Evans.  Kim said she only wanted 2 kids. She said she was having a boy.    Then, we went shopping in the mall.   Wish we had had more time to spend with Kim and Grandma before flying back to Chicago.   Kim showed us a video of her ultrasound which was pretty neat.    Then, Sue and I had to head to the airport in Tampa for our flight back to Chicago.

February 20, 1999: Cocoa Beach







Nicole, Sue, and I got up late in the morning and had breakfast at Dennys.      We went shopping in the mall. The temperature was about 75 degrees.    We drove over to Cocoa beach in the convertible.   I got to see Ron Jons Surf shop.  The store had 3 levels and was huge.      Then, we stopped at this restaurant on the ocean and had some drinks.    We drove back to Orlando and Nicole brought us to Church Street in downtown Orlando.   It had alot of bars.

We got back to Nicole's friend, Amy's house, and watched 'Rush Hour'.

February 19, 1999: Nicole Drummond & Pleasure Island

Sue and I drove to Orlando and met Nicole Drummond.  I had met her over the internet through Joe Idstein.   After the whole blowout with Joe, Nicole and I became good friends and spent many hours on the phone talking about what a jerk Joe was.   We picked up Nicole's friend, Amy, at her house, as well as another girl named Kelly, who had a 1 yr old.    We all went to Pleasure Island at Disney World.   Pleasure Island had all kinds of dance clubs and bars for adults.   It cost us $20 to get in there.  I danced with a guy on the revolving dance floor.    We had some jello shots and had a great time.

Norm, Grandma, Sue, and I went to Busch Gardens.   We went to the ice show which was very good.    Sue and I went on the roller coaster 2 times in a row.    The ride went upside down several times.   Then, Grandma, Norm, Sue, and I went to the German area for lunch and watched the show.    We also went to the 50s music show.     Norm and I had a beer at the Budweiser area.

February 17, 1999: Florida

My friend Sue Arnouts and I flew down to Florida for vacation.  We rented this cute red Sunfire convertible.   It was so much fun driving around Florida with the top down.   We stayed at my Grandma Gonyo's place in Zephyrhills.   Sue and I went shopping at Bells Department store.   I finally got to meet Grandma's boyfriend, Norm Schultz.    He was very nice.    We went to the senior dance with them at the Tourist club in downtown Zephyrhills.     Besides this 18 yr old boy, we were the youngest ones there. It was so funny.    All of these older widowed women were seated and looking for mates.   It was like a senior meat market.
