Wow, time is zipping by...We had visitors from Iowa this past week, as Alec and Charlton Pendry drove down here from Fort Dodge, Iowa. We had a great visit!
The first day, Wednesday, was Proton Institute Day as we four (plus RV neightbors Bob and Bonnie Herman) went to the Lunch Bunch, hosted by Gerry Troy, PTI Administrator. Free food!!! Later the Pendry's went through the 2+ hour tour of the Treatment Center. Finally we all hung around til I got my treatment.
We took a tired Charlton home, then drove to the downtown Jacksonville Landing because, after all, it was New Year's Eve! We walked around amid a throng of Nebraska and Clemson fans (Jan 1 was the Gator Bowl, won by the Huskers) and waited for the scheduled fireworks at midnight. 2009 arrived with a brilliant and constant display of dazzling fireworks. There wasn't more than a second without an explosion, and after about 15 minutes the finale was breathtaking! It was all beautiful, set upon the St. John's River with the many Jacksonville bridges and buildings lit up.
During the rest of the visit, we and the Pendry's played games (Settlers of Catan), cards (Nertz, euchre and bridge), and talked and talked. Saturday we trekked down to St. Augustine and enjoyed a fabulous day of sightseeing and shopping. We also had a rousing game along with the Hermans of Catch Phrase.
Alec and Charlton left this morning with stops scheduled in Savannah, GA and Ashville, NC. It is always nice to have visitors!

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nertz”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
