Wed, Mar 17, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Uneventful day for us.  They had a decorated golf cart parade for St. Patty’s Day, which didn’t amount to much.  We played rummy cube in the screen room after lunch.  Pretty warm out there.  Upper 80s today.

Mon, Mar 15, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Did the grocery shopping late morning and then picked up lunch and went to the little park in LaBelle to eat.  A beautiful day.  Saw a couple of boats go through.  And the ibis kept us company.  Did a short walk earlier.  Mid-80s today.  Hot dogs for dinner tonight. Beware the Ides of March.

 

Sun, Mar 14, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Got the laundry out of the way this morning.  Then sat outside reading for a while under a clear blue sky.  Watched a ladderback woodpecker working away in the palm tree next to the patio.  They are such pretty birds.  On Saturday we watched “The Upside” with Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman.  Bryan Cranston plays a very rich quadriplegic who needs help with his everyday needs in his NYC penthouse.  Kevin plays a struggling parolee who ends up getting the job as his caregiver.  Really good movie. Steaks, mashed potatoes, and sugar snap peas for dinner. 84 here today with low humidity.

Thu, Mar 11, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Did a drug run to Clewiston late morning.  Picked up lunch and brought it back.  In the afternoon we washed the shed which was filthy on one side only.  Don’t know what that’s about, but now it’s pristine.  Low 80s here today.  Pulled pork sandwiches for dinner tonight.

Times Square - NYC

The "Naked Cowboy" guy is always seen in Times Square.  But he came down to Florida and got arrested for panhandling in Ft. Lauderdale.  LOL

Mon, Mar 8, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Off to the grocery store late morning.  As usual, we picked up lunch on the way home.  It rained most of the day Saturday.  We just stayed in and watched a couple of movies. But we really needed the rain and everything looks a lot greener in here.  They’re installing a huge solar array here in the park.  Not sure how that will affect us.  The park is always making improvements it seems.  In our travels around Florida we’ve seen more and more huge solar arrays.  Pretty innovative I’d say.  72 and windy here today.

Bad hair day in Times Square.

Fri, Mar 5, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Had to pick up our mail today.  So I started out walking and Mike picked me up.  On the way back we picked up lunch at Crumbs.  After lunch I was relaxing reading my book and felt the fifth wheel move.  Oh great, now what!  The one chore we had left to do was to hook up the truck to the fifth wheel, raise all the landing legs and then level it.  I figured this would be a big CF.  We hadn’t hooked it up or leveled it in two years.  But it went okay.  Mike wanted to put down pavers under the landing legs instead of the wood.  So we got that done and I celebrated with a glass or two of wine.  So glad that’s over!  So, now drunk spades this afternoon.  81 today.  The Mexican lasagna was great last night.

Thu, Mar 4, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  A gloomy day today.  Pretty much stayed in all day.  I watched “Unbroken” about Louis Zamperini, the Olympic athlete and soldier who was taken prisoner after his plane crashed in the Pacific while searching for another downed plane and he remained in a Japanese POW camp for the remainder of the war.  A guard there they called “The Bird” tortured him constantly.  The book was great.  Angelina Jolie brought it to the screen.  The sun made an appearance around 3:00.  Made Mexican lasagna for dinner tonight.  Haven’t had that in ages.  Looking forward to it.
