Sun, Feb 7, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Stormed last night and was quite chilly and very windy. We went in to Key West to see “Finest Hours”, the movie about the amazing Coast Guard rescue when an oil tanker was broken in half in a winter storm off the coast of Massachusetts in 1951. Came back and went to the Super Bowl party at the club house. Martin cooked up some ribs and everyone brought a dish. We left after dinner and came back home to watch the game. I’m rooting for Carolina. Mike is rooting for Denver. At least one of us will be happy. 

Sat, Feb 6, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Cloudy this morning, but pretty warm. We didn’t do much but read and watch TV. Started pouring later in the afternoon and it’s still raining and foggy. 60s today and probably all next week.

Fri, Feb 5, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Not a great day today, weather wise. We hung out inside most of the day watching Cleopatra. Had seen parts of it, but not the whole thing. It was a pretty good movie actually—very long though. Dave and Amy came over for dinner at 5:30. After dinner we played Trivial Pursuit. Fun.

Thu, Feb 4, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Warm and breezy this morning. After breakfast I moved the chaise into the sun and read my book for a while. Sitting outside is warm if you’re sitting in the sun—not so much in the shade. Mike didn’t get up until 11:00! Guess he stayed up late watching something on the History channel. I told him I was going for a walk and he wanted to come along, so we stopped at Dave and Amy’s and picked up one of their dogs to take along. After walking a short distance on Johnson Road, the dog wanted to go back. So, Mike took him back home and I continued on and walked to the KOA and back. After lunch we watched “The Walk” on Netflix. Really good movie about the French guy who affixed a cable between the twin towers in NYC and walked it. The event was way more involved than I thought. He walked back and forth a couple of times, laid down on the wire even. Amy called while we were watching the movie and invited us for dinner at their place. Went over about 5:00 with our wine and stuff. Nice evening. Mike, Dave and Amy went over to the clubhouse for movie night. “The Martian” was playing. I had seen it, so I went back home. Another nice day. Low 80s.

Wed, Feb 3, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another nice day today. Took my smoothie next door to Larry’s and sat with he and John and Sandy for a while. After lunch I went over to play with the band. Then Dave, Amy, Mike and I headed to Marathon for dinner at Lazy Days. Really good meal and a nice sunset. Back home and Dave came over for a Bailey’s or two. Low 80s today with a nice tropical breeze. Does it get any better? I don't think so.

Tue, Feb 2, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Picked up Dave and Amy at 10:00 this morning and headed to Key West. They wanted to do the Conch Tour, so we decided to do it with them since we haven’t done it for about 12 years. A beautiful, warm, breezy day. After the tour we had lunch/dinner at Red Fish/Blue Fish on Front Street. Back home and crashed. Told them to stop by later if they wanted. 81 today and beautiful.

Mon, Feb 1, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Poured down rain sometime during the night. The road in here is partially flooded. But it’s clearing off and looking promising for the rest of the day. Walked the trash over this morning. Dave and Amy not out and about yet. So, back and worked on my crossword puzzle. Mike went up for donuts. While Mike played shoes, Amy and I went to Key West to do the grocery shopping. Before we hit Publix we did a little tour of Old Town. Parked at the Eco Center and walked around a little bit. Then back to the grocery store and got that out of the way. At 4:30 we went over to the KOA for happy hour. The group went over to Fish for dinner. We went to Roosticas. They came over to our site for a nite cap after they walked the dogs. Gave the dogs a treat and we imbibed wine and Bailey’s. A nice day today.
