Things are back to normal

Today started out in the mid 50's and got up into the low 70's .  it's supposed to stay this way for the next couple of days.

I was up early and went up to the AC for breakfast.  French toast and sausage patties.  Beryl did some cleaning and the rest of the time we enjoyed the nice weather.  Now that it has cooled down a little we'll have to rake the leaves on our site.

Lazy Days called to confirm our appointment for the 31st to get our problems corrected.  I hope we don't end up spending the whole weekend there.  We head down the afternoon of the 30th and take advantage of the Crown Club meals.

That's it for today.

Cooler and cloudy

Today it struggled to hit 60. It was also cloudy with no sun.

Around noon we headed to Bushnell and Howie's for lunch.  We both had all you can eat fried fish, french fries and apple sauce.  Neither of us asked for more fish.  We also hit the post office and picked us some scripts at CVS.

We are using 2 electric heaters to keep the rig warm.  Were scheduled to go to Lazy days on the 30th to get the AC's replaced.  They put the new ac's on another unit and they supposedly work ok.

Around 1730 we headed to the AC so Beryl could help in the kitchen for the jam session. We got back to the rig around 2000.

That's it for today.

Cool and rain

Today it struggled to reach 70 and it rained on and off. Tonight the low is to be around 40.  The temp tomorrow is to be around 70 again.

Today was a do nothing day.  Beryl helped with the dine in supper and that's about it for today.

Still Warm

Yesterday and today were in the lo 80's.  It was a little less humid today;  Lows are in the low 60's.

Yesterday afternoon we took a 20 mile ride on the county roads to Wildwood and the Russell Stover's outlet store.  Since our thief finished off all the sugar-free candy, we had to restock our supply. 

Beryl is getting on to the Sharp microwave/convection oven.  Last night she did a real good job broiling some steaks and earlier in the week she made pork chops and stuffing.  The oven has all kinds of combination settings.

We got a late start today.  Beryl did several loads of wash.  We went to Winn Dixie to get milk and orange juice and then dropped off  some prescriptions at CVS for refills.  For supper we had baked cod loins, baked potato and a salad.

The weather for the next week or so looks like temps will be in the low 70's or high 60's.  Some nights might be down in the 40's.

Tomorrow will be dine in.  Polish sausage, pinto beans and loaded mashed potatoes.

That's all for today.

Flea Market Time

Yesterday was in the low 80's and partly sunny. The thermometer in the sun hit 102.

Around 1000 we headed over to Webster and the flea market.  The place was packed.  We parked on the east end and headed for the produce area.  We got strawberries, onions, potatoes and lettuce.  We took this back to the car and then walked through some of the pavilions on the east end.

We left around noon and went to Howie's for lunch and picked up the mail,  The afternoon was spent keeping cool in the MH.

That's about it.

We Have a Thief

The last couple of days have been in the low 80's and it's supposed to stay that way until Wed.  Lows are in the mid to low 60's and the humidity has been really high.

Beryl's knee is doing better.  Last night was the first night she slept until 0800 since last May.  She wears the knee brace whenever she goes walking.

I had gotten a 25% off coupon for Ruby Tuesdays so we headed over there for lunch.  Afterwards we went to the Sam's Club for a few items.  When we returned home, the three pieces of wrapped, sugar free candy that was on the end table by the couch were missing.  The empty wrappers were on the floor.  BJ is pleading the fifth.

Tomorrow we plan on heading over to the Webster Flea Market.  Strawberries are just starting.  The rest of the week is up in the air.  We need to get to the Russell Stover Outlet and the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park.  What we do will depend on Beryl's knee.

That's it for today

It's Gonna Snow

The last two days have been partly sunny in the 80's and the nights have been in the low 60's. This is >10 F above normal.  We are not complaining.

Yesterday Beryl helped with the dine in supper. They had 105 attendees.  After supper we were entertained by Kenny Evans.  He put on a really good oldies show.

Today we went up to Howie's in Bushnell for lunch.  Now the reason for the snow.  After lunch Beryl said she wanted to go to the walkin clinic to get her knee checked.  She ended up getting a very weak steroid shot and told to get a expandable knee support.  Dr Ecklind said the shot was less potent than the steroids secreted by the adrenalin gland on a daily basis. We picked up the brace at CVS and Beryl wore it whenever she was out walking.  So far her knee feels a lot better.

We went up to the AC for the Jam session and stayed about an hour.  They had sloppy joes, macaroni salad and cake.

That's about it for today.

We're Still Here

Today was partly cloudy with a high in the low 80's.  Lows have been in the 60's.

We haven't been doing much of anything.  Last Friday we took BJ to PETCO for his monthly hair cut.  Friday night we went to the Jam session at the AC.  They had a real good turnout.

Sunday we went to the Golden Corral for lunch and the ice cream social at the AC.  It rained on and off Sunday nite and Monday.  Yesterday was sunny and very warm.  Our thermometer in the sun hit 104 F.  Beryl spent most of the last couple days reading.  Her knee has been bothering her.
And I quote, "There is no need to go to a doctor, what will they do".

Tomorrow will be the dine in.  Baked spaghetti, salad, and dessert.  After dinner there is entertainment.  Beryl will be helping to serve.  Friday nite will be another jam session.

That's about it.

Thought For The Day – People who say it can’t be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

4 Day Recap

The highs have been in the 70's with the lows in the upper 50's and low 60's.  It has been partly sunny to cloudy.  Today was cloudy and right now it is trying to rain.

New years eve day we spent recuperating. Beryl has her bayberry candle ready to light.
 

Around 1830 we headed to the AC for the New Years Eve Party.  the theme of the party was Hawaiian.  Here are a couple of pictures. Remember click on a picture to enlarge.

The Hula Girls
Around 2130 one of the guys on the dance floor had some kind of seizure and and fell backwards with his head hitting the floor. The EMTs were called and he was taken to the hospital where he got several staples to fix his wound.  The latest info we have is that he has a brain bleed and as of yesterday afternoon the bleeding still had not stopped.  This is what probably caused the seizure and he had not been drinking.

New years day we watched the Rose Parade, had our pork and sauerkraut and watched some bowl games,  I've come down with a really bad cold.  Bj has adapted real well to the new couch.


Yesterday we loafed around the rig. Beryl did several loads of wash.

Today was cloudy and felt like it would rain at any time.  We took BJ and went to the post office for the mail.  Thanks Lorie.  It finally started to sprinkle on and off around supper time. Beryl made spaghetti for supper.  Tomorrow we'll take BJ for his monthly tune up.

That's it for today

Thought For The Day – I don’t think we get smarter as we get older, I think we just run out of stupid things to do.
