Wed, Feb 15, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Slept in a little late this morning.  Another beautiful day.  I ordered a mattress topper for our bed in the RV and it came this afternoon.  So, we dragged it back to our site and it’s now all spread out in the living area so it can breathe or something.  Tomorrow we’ll strip the bed and set it up. It weighs 20 pounds.  Hope we’re still able to access the under-bed storage area okay.  Tonight we had dinner at the clubhouse.  Mexican was the theme.  I made a potato casserole which came out pretty good.  We went over early to help Char and Jerry set up and then helped them clean up after.  No marbles tonight.  Too tired.  Think they have a table of 10 players.  Low 80s today.  Started getting a little stormy as we walked over to the dinner.  So, Mike put the awnings in and stowed the chairs.  So far, just a few sprinkles and some wind.

A nice moon rise last night.  After our marbles tournament a bunch of us congregated at our site for more wine and conversation.

Tue, Feb 14, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Off to Big Pine this morning—Mike to do the grocery shopping while I get my nails done.  This works out great.  Mike can stroll around the grocery store at his leisure and buy whatever he wants and I can get my nails done which usually takes about an hour.  After shopping we went to Boondocks for some lunch.  After getting back home and putting things away we relaxed until it was time to go over to the clubhouse for a Marbles tournament.  Really?  A Marbles tournament?  That’s what I said, but I’ll try anything once.  20 of us.  Ordering pizzas for dinner at some point. Low 80s again and perfect. 

Our Valentine's Day libations.

Mon, Feb 13, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Got the laundry done before lunch, and then after lunch Mike went over to play shoes for the first time since he banged up his ribs.  I enjoyed a few hours of solitude.  Not sure if we’ll go to happy hour or not.  If nothing else, I do enjoy the walk over there.  Another perfect day in the low 80s.

Sun, Feb 12, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Wine tasting at the clubhouse this afternoon at 3:30.  We tasted six different Bordeaux from France.  After the wine tasting we stumbled back to our site and Char came over and said everyone was meeting at the clubhouse for more wine.  Went back and chatted for a while and then decided to come back at 7:30 after everyone had eaten dinner to play marbles.  Back home and put steaks on the grill and cut up some potatoes and carrots coated with olive oil and put them in the oven.  After dinner we went back to the clubhouse and played marbles until 9:00 and then came back and watched “Victoria” on PBS.  Low 80s and breezy.

Sat, Feb 11, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Off to a concert this afternoon at the Fort East Martello featuring the lead singer from the Platters.  Also songs from The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, The Coasters, and the Drifters.  A fun afternoon.  We rode down with Dale and Carolyn.  Maddie also went with us.  After the concert we had dinner at Mangrove Mama’s.  Back home and crashed. A fun day.  Temps in the low 80s.

A beautiful moon rise tonight, although this picture doesn't do it justice.  It was beautiful and golden.

Fri, Feb 10, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Really windy today.  All night last night I listened to the wind soughing through the trees.  Made for great sleeping.  Put one of the awnings in last night and the second one this morning.  Then we decided to go to Key West and see the movie “Hidden Figures” at the Tropic about three black women who were instrumental in the NASA manned space programs.  One was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Obama when she was 97!  Great true story.  Got back home and were sitting outside enjoying a cocktail when Char and Ben came by and wanted to know if we wanted to play marbles tonight.  So, at 7:00 we’re heading over to the clubhouse.  A nice day, but really windy.  After the movie we wandered around Key West harbor for a while listening to the music and checking out a couple of yachts that are visiting.  There was also a cruise ship in port.  82 today, but with the wind it felt chilly.

The wonderful sculpture of Marilyn outside the Tropic Cinema.

This beautiful yacht was in.  Mike stepped it off.  Figured it was 150 feet long.  The Steve Jobs yacht was twice this long.

The after deck with a bar and dining table.

This group was playing in front of the cruise ship.  They were very good. 

Thu, Feb 9, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Taking a break today.  Watched our Netflix—the first three episodes of Season 5 of “Homeland.”  Walked around the lake and stopped at the office to put the Netflix in the mail.  Boondocks for dinner tonight.  Another beautiful day.  Low 80s.  Nice!

On the way back from Boondocks, took a picture of this amazing sunset.

Full moon tonight.

Not centered very well, but you get the idea.
