Tue, Jan 19, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Can’t believe it’s the middle of January already.  Spent most of the morning on the computer.  I ordered a pair of Sketchers Go Walk shoes which were way too big.  Had to prepare for their return.  Amazon makes it pretty easy.  Played spades with Nomad this afternoon.  Left-over meatloaf for dinner.  Turned into a really nice day today.  We have several nice days ahead of us.  We hired a guy to do our driveway.  Should happen in the next few days.  73 here today.

Mon, Jan 18, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Grocery shopping late morning in LaBelle.  Picked up lunch on the way back.  Yesterday’s football game was great.  The Chiefs won.  Tried to sit outside and read after lunch.  Too chilly with the wind.  Tried to read inside but kept falling asleep.  So, got the computer out.  Playing spades with Nomad shortly.  Watched a PBS documentary a couple of days ago about some areas in Florida.  One of them was the Fakahachee Strand SP south of I75 just off 29.  There are a few old growth cypress trees in there that were saved from the logging industry.  And also 47 species of orchids in there.  Going to check that out.

This guy wrote a book about when the Russians took over Berlin at the end of WWII and how he and his mother escaped when he was a little boy.  I bought the book.  A pretty good read.

Sun, Jan 17, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  I started the laundry while Mike was still in bed.  He got up in time to help fold.  He’s the only husband I know that helps fold clothes.  Looking forward to the KC Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns football game today.  Rooting for the Chiefs, but as Mike said, Cleveland hasn’t won anything in a long time.  We’ll see.  A lot of people in here from both Missouri and Ohio.  The Rams didn’t do well at all yesterday.  Whoever wins today, it should be a good game.  It’s 63 out there right now.  Got a meatloaf ready to put in the oven for dinner.

Sat, Jan 16, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Cool today, and windy.  I had to put the awning away finally.  Mike got the ladder out and washed the walls and ceiling in the fifth wheel.  The ceiling is so high we need a ladder.  That’s the price he pays for being able to smoke in here with alacrity.  Looking forward to football this afternoon.

Fri, Jan 15, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  I took the trash out this morning at 7:00.  It was so pretty out there.  There was a little fog and the rising sun cast a pink glow on the clouds. Surreal.  After breakfast I went for a walk and then ran into some people I haven’t seen in a while.  I was the only one wearing a mask.  Talked with them for a while.  Then Mike and I washed the truck.  Ordered lunch from Crumb’s (thank you Laurie!).  When we went to pick up our order, I started out walking and Mike came by after 15 minutes or so and picked me up.  Playing spades with Nomad shortly.

Thu, Jan 14, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Another gloomy morning.  But the afternoon became sunny and sort of warm.  But after lunch I was supine on the bed binge watching Friends and reading my latest book.  We should have been outside.  Haven’t walked in a week.  I’m so disgusted with myself. 60s today.

My view for the afternoon.

 

Wed, Jan 13, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Another gloomy day today.  Hasn’t rained yet, but it’s supposed to start soon.  The only time I went out was to take out the trash and hang up my bath towel.  Just poured myself a glass of wine and getting ready to play spades with Nomad.  I hope they fumigate the white house before the Bidens move in.
