Mon, Nov 23, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  A nasty start to the day—foggy and a slight drizzle.  Wiped everything down outside.  After breakfast we headed to LaBelle to get the grocery shopping out of the way.  More crowded than usual, but not bad.  Put everything away and then watched more of The Kennedys while Mike read his book.  Around 1:00 it finally cleared off.  Sat outside reading for a while. Think it hit 81 today.  Hot dogs for dinner tonight along with 8-bean salad.

Sun, Nov 22, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Got the laundry out of the way this morning.  That’s about it.  I was binge watching documentaries/movies about the Kennedys.  A bunch of our neighbors took off on their motor cycles to terrorize folks in Glades and Hendry Counties.  That’s about it.  A quiet day today.  Low-80s today.

Sat, Nov 21, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Went for my walk early.  Took a different route along a road next to a little slough loaded with lily pads.  And gators probably.  Talked with a few people at a distance.  I was the only one with a mask.  A really nice day.  After lunch we watched our Netflix movie “Alpha” about a stone age young man who on a hunting trip gets injured.  After badly injuring a wolf who attacks him, he doesn’t have the heart to finish her off—instead nurses her back to health.  Together they make it back to his tribe.  Mid-80s again today.  HBM!

Fri, Nov 20, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:   Back to LaBelle to hopefully return the digital frame I ordered on-line.  FINALLY got it done.  On the way back we were trying to find Port LaBelle (is there a port?) and drove around some really rural roads with several “ranchette” subdivisions.  Mini ranches with about 10 acre lots and surrounded with flat board fencing.  Really nice.  Never found any port, or even the river.  Will try again.  Back home and read for a while.  After lunch I made a huge 6-bean salad, or my version of it, to have with our hot dogs tonight.  It’s delicious and so healthy.  Mike’s out there putzing around getting stuff out of the truck and storing in the shed.  We’ll probably have the hitch taken out of the bed of the truck this spring.  It’s really heavy and takes up a lot of room.  Doubt we’ll ever be moving the fifth wheel again.  Playing spades with Nomad in a little while.  Mid-80s today and windy in the afternoon. 

Community fire pit down the road from us.

Thu, Nov 19, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Off to Clewiston this morning—Mike to get a script and me to try to return a digital picture frame I bought on line from Walmart.  In LaBelle I was told I had to bring the envelope that it was mailed in before they could take it back.  So now ensconced in the envelope I received it in, I went to the Clewiston Walmart and they said it was a third-party purchase (Marketplace) and I had to call Marketplace and tell them I need to return it and they would send me a label.  OH MY GOD, JUST TAKE THE DAMN THING BACK!  And now to make our day even better, last night Mike turned on the Fantastic Fan in the kitchen area and it made a horrible noise.  So, now we have to remove the screen and see what’s up there.  Took the screen off and it was one of those frogs.  This one is petrified.  Not sure how long it’s been up there.  Anyway, cleaned the screen and the blades and put back together.  Works fine.  Glad this day is almost over.

Wed, Nov 18, 2020: The Glades RV Resort: Early this morning I got up and turned on the fireplace. Really chilly during the night. But the day dawned under a deep blue, cloudless sky. Only went for a short walk. The wind constantly picked up until we had to put the awning away. Mike had lunch out in the screen room and read his book. I stayed inside and read for a while. Really enjoying my latest espionage thriller, “The Fox” by Fredrick Forsythe. Played spades with Nomad in the afternoon. High 70s today.

Tue Nov 17, 2020:  The Glades RV Resort:  Did the grocery shopping today in LaBelle.  Also I took back the digital picture frame I bought from Walmart on-line.  They wouldn’t accept it without something to mail it back in.  Great.  Didn’t read that in their return policy.  So, came back and dug the padded envelope it was mailed in out of the garbage, cleaned it off, and will return it tomorrow.  Went for my walk right after breakfast this morning.  Didn’t see any more wildlife.  A beautiful day though—much cooler with less humidity. Had more of my fried turkey dinner for lunch today.  Still have some left.  Mike ate lunch in the screen room and nodded off for a while.  A good day for it.  81 today.    

On my walk this morning.

Walked over to the Indian Hills subdivision.  Nice homes.

This mocking bird perched on this sign kept mocking me as I was trying to focus the camera.  

He sat there forever--probably wondering what the hell I was doing.
