Tue, Jan 7, 2020:  Another sunny, cool morning.  Warmed up nicely though. Got the laundry out of the way this morning.  After lunch I went over to the activity center for line dancing.  That was fun.  Mike took care of some chores and then we went to Grumpy’s for an early dinner.  The rest of the week is supposed to be in the low to mid-80s with no end in sight.  Yes!

Mon, Jan 6, 2020:  A beautiful, sunny morning.  Really cool though.  We drove into Clewiston and did the grocery shopping.  I’m always impressed when we drive along the main drive in Clewiston.  There is no litter at all.  The grass is always cut and everything is very neat.  Anyway, got the shopping done and had lunch at Beef O-Brady’s.  Came back and walked over to see the Canadians.  Charlie and Johanne finished their deck in the back, and Gerald and Esther were working on theirs.  Walked back and later in the afternoon there was the usual commotion coming from Mark and Deb’s site across the street from us. They have people.  I poured a glass of wine and walked over there and said “isn’t there a noise ordinance in here?”  Anyway a game of corn hole ensued.  I have never played this before but eventually got the hang of it.  We played Rick and Chris—girls against the guys.  Of course the guys won.  Mike is very good. Back to our site and had dinner.

Sat, Jan 4, 2020:  A rather blah day today.  Started out cloudy and then the wind picked up.  Put the awning in.  The wind today was the worst so far this winter.  Then in the afternoon the rain started.  Probably won’t get out of the 60s tomorrow.

Fri, Jan 3, 2020:  Another beautiful day today.  We didn’t do much.  Went over to the office and picked up a package.  I ordered a vinyl cover for our table in our screen room.  Fit perfectly and protects the table.  In the afternoon the Canadians came over and we played that crazy Left Right Center game.  We won most of the games.  YES!

Thu, Jan 2, 2020:  Another beautiful day today.  Walked up to the library and Mike came with his bike.  Got a book and on the way back we stopped to see the Canadians.  Esther and Gerald went up to the activity center for their New Year’s Eve.  Ended up coming back home around 1:00 with about 16 people in tow.  The theme was Jimmy Buffett and Gerald posted a picture on Facebook with a lei around his neck.  I told him he got leied.  He didn’t get it.  Anyway, we went to Crumb’s for lunch and found out one of the cooks adopted Mavis.  I’m so glad, but we’ll miss her.  The Canadians came over tonight for happy hour and are coming back tomorrow night for that crazy game Left, Right, Center.  Low 80s today with a beautiful breeze.

Wed, Jan 1, 2020:  A quiet day today.  Set up a pot roast in the crock pot and then watched a Netflix movie, “The Judge” which was really good.  A pretty day today but on the chilly side.  Stayed inside most of the day reading and dozing.  Mid-70s today.

Tue, Dec 31, 2019:  Well, we didn’t know what to expect on our New Year’s outing.  We heard it was in a barn.  Mark said there was a green gate and then you go down this road into the woods.  Sounded like a Stephen King novel to me.  And Mark didn’t go because his wife, Deb, wasn’t feeling well.  But Rick said he knew how to get there.  So we caravaned over there.  It wasn’t far at all.  And it was a great place.  They had lots of food.  Even deep fried a turkey.  It took place in a huge lanai with a large pool.  The tables were up on a platform at one end and the band was at the other end.  I danced a lot.  But it got pretty cold.  If you were dancing it was okay.  But Mike was miserable.  At one point he went out to the truck and turned on the heat.  We went there at 6:00 and we ended up leaving at 9:30.  It was a good time.  Good bye to 2019 and hello to 2020.  Mid-70s today.
