Orlando Day 2 - Grandma Flynn

This morning we got ready for church and then picked up David's
grandmother and took her to Lake Hills Baptist Church. She was really
glad to go and to have us with her. She isn't able to make it there
very often any more.
After lunch we went to see The Senator. He is the oldest and largest
Cypress tree, at least in Florida, possibly the country. He is 118
feet tall and 3500 years old. It used to be 165 feet tall, but the top
was destroyed in a hurricane in 1925.

We stopped to see Grandpa Flynn who is in a care center. He didn't
respond to us, but Grandma was glad to be able to visit him. She told
me they will have been married 70 years next December!

Grandma came back to our condo with us for a swim and some of David's
homemade Spaghetti. She said it was as good as Grandpa used to make.

It was a really nice day and worth the trip by itself!
