Mon, Jan 1, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Back much better today.  Didn’t go out last night.  It was cold and I didn’t feel that great.  Actually made it to the ball drop and a few hours later.  Today we took the bikes out for a ride.  Went over to the KOA and then down the road to the burned out bridge.  Biked over to the fishing bridge and then back home.  Ran into Char and Jerry walking Rudy. Jim and Karen finally made it here and stopped by.  A really nice day today.  Lower 80s I think.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Fri, Dec 29, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:    Up late last night and tired all day.  Cool and breezy today.  Didn’t even walk around the lake.  A lot of people in here for the weekend.  A bunch of tenters on the other side of the lake.  Debbie sent over a loaf of her delicious banana bread.  Invited Char and Jerry over in the afternoon for wine and snacks.  Around 6:00 they headed home and we went inside.  Really chilly.  Upper 70s today I guess.

Thu, Dec 28, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A quiet day today.  Nice one too—sunny and breezy.  Cool in the shade though.  Dragged my chaise into the sun to read my book.  Went to Boondocks for lunch.  Picked up our Netflix movie, “Baby Driver,” which we watched in the afternoon.  Not a great movie, but entertaining I guess.  81 today. 

Nice sunset.

Wed, Dec 27, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Drove into Key West this morning and bought a DVD player because our blue ray player won’t play a DVD.  Apparently when they changed out our TV they didn’t hook up the blue ray player correctly.  Anyway, got that set up and walked around the lake.  Larry stopped over for a while.  I’m having my left-over meatloaf for dinner tonight.  82 here today.  It rained last night.  We need the rain to get rid of some of the dust on the road in here.

Tue, Dec 26, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Up this morning and took care of the laundry first thing.  Got that out of the way and laid down to read/snooze.  Didn’t sleep much last night.  Christmas dinner with Douglas and Chuck was awesome.  He had a turkey and a ham plus everyone brought a dish.  Really good.  There must have been 20 people there.  We rode over with Larry and left around 8:00 to come home.  A bunch of us played jokers before dinner and the girls won one game and the guys won one also.  It was great getting together with everyone.  Went to Kiki’s Sandbar for dinner tonight.  Their special was meatloaf and it was the best I’ve ever had.  Going to chill tonight and watch TV.  82 today and mostly sunny.

Playing jokers--so serious!

Mon, Dec 25, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Merry Christmas everyone!  A beautiful day again today.  While we were sitting outside talking with our neighbor, Larry, John and Sandy stopped by and gave us some cookies.  I didn’t do any cookies this year.  But we’ll enjoy theirs.  Yesterday I binge watched The Kennedys.  It started at 8;00 a.m. with “The Brothers”, then at 9:00 was the mini-series “The Kennedys”, followed by “After Camelot”,, and then “The Assassination”.  I did take the time to walk around the lake.  It was really warm—almost hot—until I got on the other side of the lake.  There was a beautiful breeze coming off the flats which felt good.  Today we’re going over to have Christmas dinner with Douglas, who cuts my hair.  A bunch of other people here in the park are going as well.  Should be fun.  Wait ‘til Douglas sees the hot mess I made of my hair! 

Sat, Dec 23, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another beautiful morning.  Took the trash over to the dumpster and continued around the lake.  Ran into some more friends I hadn’t seen yet and got talking with them, so it took longer than usual.  Felt good walking though.  A warm and breezy day today.  Had steaks, mashed potatoes, veggies, and a salad for dinner tonight.  Really good.  Played rummy for a while after.  Low 80s today.
