Sisters, you all were so amazed by the Live Oak trees you saw in Georgia so Julie and I wanted to share these pictures of what is supposed to be the largest one in Florida. It is called the Cellon Oak and is just north of Gainesville, close to Lacross. It is 344" inches (29 feet) in circumference. A pretty awesome sight, I might add. Estimates place it at more than 1500 years old. There is supposed to be one on an island south of Charleston, S.C. that is older but the man who took the photo of Julie and I said he doubted it was bigger than the Cellon Oak and he had visited both of them. We recently had a fire here that burned what was the biggest Baldcypress in Florida. It was about 13 feet in Diameter and was believed to be 3500 years old.
Love you all and Danny we are praying for you as you go for chemo. Alice you are still in our prayers as well.
