Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Mike went over for donuts this morning and I did the cleaning—sort of.  Sat outside reading after getting our chores out of the way.  A pretty and breezy day.  Watched the Australian pines across the lake swaying gracefully in the breeze.  I love these trees, even though they’re not indigenous to the area.  They have these long needles that give it a lacy look.  The locals aren’t too fond of them, but there are a plethora of them around the Keys.  Went to happy hour for the first time tonight, which went okay.  Didn’t go to Boondocks with the rest of them.  Maybe next time.  Low 80s today.

Lazy Lakes

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A lazy day today.  Well, every day has been a lazy day since we’ve been here because of my incapacity. Sat outside all morning reading and enjoying the tropical breezes.  Saw a jet way up in the ether trailing a long white contrail against the deep blue sky.  Wonder where it was going?  Mike took off a little while ago—hopefully walking around and visiting with some of our people.  Made soup yesterday, so left-over soup tonight.  Mid-80s today.  

An Iguana hung out at our site for a while today.  Love these creatures!

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Got up, took my shower, dressed, made my smoothie and was sitting outside doing my crossword puzzle before 8:00.  Mike didn’t even wake up with all that commotion.  Rained a little bit early afternoon. So we watched our Netflix Movie, “50/50”.  Pretty good. Walked up and down the road again.  Mike is all ensconced to watch the SEC championship football game between Missouri and Auburn.  Mid-80s again today.  Go Tigers!

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Had breakfast at the Galley Grill on Summerland this morning.  It’s great to get out again!  After that I stopped at the salon I frequented last winter and made an appointment to get my hair cut.  Then we hit Walgreens and CVS.  Back to our park and I walked to the end of our loop and back twice.  Used my trekking poles which helped a lot.  Sat outside most of the day.  Left-overs for dinner tonight.  Mid-80s again today.

Rooster hanging out in the Walgreens parking lot.  I think the males are quite pretty, with their iridescent feathers and all.  This guy kept falling asleep.  He must have had a rough night!

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Beautiful day again today.  We had the fifth wheel washed, waxed, and detailed today.  They started at 9:00 and left around 4:00.  They do such a good job.  While they were working we walked down the road a bit.  Did pretty well I guess.  After they left we went to Mangrove Mama’s for some dinner.  Mike had a lobster Reuben and I had salsa encrusted tilapia.  Really good.  There’s a lot of activity down here this year.  They’re putting in new sewer pipes all along The Overseas Highway, and they’re continuing to expand the bike paths.  From our park we will be able to bike all the way to Key West very soon.  And they’ve put in some new bike paths going the other way as well.  And they do such a good job—separate bike-only bridges over the channels, boardwalks through the mangroves, and lots of landscaping.  Really first class.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to ride my bike in a month or so.  Mid-80s today.

Sunset over the flats.

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another gorgeous day here today.  I sat outside reading and relaxing in my lounge chair while Mike went out and did the grocery shopping and the laundry.  I could get used to this (not really). Next week we’ll do it together. Chuck made turkey soup and is serving it up over at the clubhouse tonight.  I’m not really up for it.  By the time I hobbled over there and all. Mike’s going to go and bring some back. Chuck makes the best soup.  Mid-80s today.

Key Deer

Lazy Lakes RV Resort, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Nice and warm this morning.  After I got dressed I sat outside for a while enjoying the warmth.  I spotted Jerry walking around the lake and told him to come in and sit for a minute.  He’s doing well.  Sandy also stopped by.  Went to the orthopedic doctor at 1:30 and I got sprung from my leg brace.  I was told three weeks ago when I was fitted with the brace to absolutely not bend it.  After getting it removed I was told to absolutely start bending it.  I am bending it but it doesn’t feel really swift.  Very wobbly.  81 here today.
