Wed, Feb 10, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Love it when you wake up and all the birds are chattering away happily.  Took the trash out at 6:00 and went back to bed.  Should have stayed up.  A pretty morning which turned warm and sultry.  After lunch we both sat out reading for a while—me in my chaise and Mike in the screen room.  After that I decided to bike up to the office.  Mike said he’d go with me.  Had to wait for him to blow up his tires and put shoes on.  Only my second time on the bike.  Mike’s first.  My balance is better than last year, but still iffy at times.  I’m fine when I’m on the thing and pedaling away.  Stopped and talked with a couple who have a “permanent,” steel-framed screen room which we want to get so we don’t have to put ours up and down every year.  We just have to find someone to build a wooden platform for it.  I’ll have to start looking.  84 today and humid.  I set up a pot roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight.  A big chuck roast with carrots and potatoes.  

Canyonlands National Park

...with friends Rick and Andrea who we met in California.

Gotta watch where you walk around here.

Lunched al fresco at a beautiful spot on the Colorado River.

Tue, Feb 9, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Another beautiful day today, but really hot.  I walked early.  Then we were off to Ft. Myers.  I had a medical appointment and Mike got the truck washed.  Stopped at Camping World on the way back and picked up some things.  Ordered dinner at Cracker Barrel and picked up on our way home.  We noticed that the truck was pulling to the right.  So we have to get that checked out before we leave.  88 today.

Moab, Utah, and Arches National Park

Mon, Feb 8, 2021: The Glades RV Park:  Warm and humid today.  And very little wind.  After running errands in LaBelle, we picked up lunch and headed back.  Later on we patched up the screen room in places where the wind created some tears in places.  Got that taken care of and then played spades for a while.  Mid-80s out there and humid. 

Jupiter, FL

Sun, Feb 7, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Well, we’re all set to watch the Superbowl this afternoon, only to find out DISH no longer offers CBS.  What a crock!  We’ll have to watch it over the air.  What a horrible time to take it away!  I’m sure the phone lines are swamped with calls!  81 here today and really windy for a while.

 

Sat, Feb 6, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Pretty cloudy today.  Mike unloaded the ceramic tiles he bought yesterday at Ace Hardware.  He’s going to put them under the grill table and some under the landing legs of the RV.  That means we have to hook up the truck, raise the legs, put the ceramic tiles down, and then re-level the RV.  I’m dreading that.  Hope we remember how to do it!  Burgers for dinner.  81 here today.

While I was cleaning up yard debris, I saw one of these creepy little frogs.  They get inside and are a nuisance.

 

Fri, Feb 5, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Had to run errands in Clewiston today.  I started walking and Mike picked me up just short of the office.  Only about a mile.  But it felt good.  The blue sky was devoid of clouds—only the contrails of a jet up in the ether.  I made an appointment with the Eye Centers of Florida.  They have an office in Clewiston which is convenient.  Picked up lunch on our way home.  Played rummy cube in the screen room after lunch.  I’m still ahead (yay!).  81 here today.

Fakahatchee State Park

Some creative person made this cairn.

Thu, Feb 4, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  The coldest night of the year so far.  The sun is shining brightly, but I only went out once.  Too cool to sit out there and read.  And I didn’t walk again today either.  Tomorrow is another day.  Upper 60s here today.
