Tue, Nov 1, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Another beautiful day today.  Our neighbors across the street from us, Mark and Deb, showed up today.  We drove to LaBelle and got the groceries.  Mike put them away while I chatted with a couple walking their Austrailian sheep dog.  She’s only 7 months old and beautiful.  Played spades in the afternoon with Nomad.  Upper 70s today.

Mon, Oct 31, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  An absolutely beautiful morning.  Not a cloud in the sky.  We had the laundry done by 9:30.  Then took care of a few chores.  Not a lot of people in here yet.  Pretty quiet.  Sat outside reading for a while and then some clouds rolled in.  Mike charged up the water softener.  We have well water here, and it’s not the best.  Yesterday, I ordered our new, permanent screen room, a new dinette table and a glass top for the table.  Looking forward to the new screen room.  Just hope we can put it together easily.  Playing spades in the afternoon with Nomad.  Upper 70s here today.

Sat, Oct 30, 2021:   The Glades RV Park:  Rainy this morning.  When it cleared off, I brought the chairs back out.  Shortly after that it poured down again.  So the chairs got wet anyway.  But dried off quickly once the sun came back out.  I took care of some computer stuff and then read my book for a while.  Mike watched a football game.  Pretty quiet day.

Fri, Oct 29, 2021:  The Glades RV Park:  Out for my walk again this morning.  Ended up with a blister—so no walk for a while.  Got a storm last night with lightning, thunder, and horrendous downpours.  Lost power a couple of times—just enough to have to reset clocks.  Beautiful day today, but really windy again.  Supposed to calm down tomorrow.  Drove in to Clewiston to run some errands and picked up dinner.  83 here today.

Thu, Oct 28, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Out for my walk early this morning.  It seems we have no electric in our island in the kitchen.  Will have to get that fixed.  Stopped at the library and picked up a book.  We were on Bourbon Street.  We’re now on Lilly Pond Loop or something.  They changed all the street names and site numbers in here.  We’re now on site 393.  Our Canadian neighbors either got a new RV, or there’s someone new next to us.  We checked out the site where our friends from the Keys will be staying.  It’s a nice site across from the Activity Center and pool.  Tried to sit out and read for a while, but the wind was terrible.  A storm is heading our way.  Got on the phone with Dish to try and upgrade.  Finally gave up.  I must have been on the phone and on hold for over an hour.  A couple that have been here forever are now gone.  They both got Covid last year.  He was in the hospital for a while.  Wonder if that’s why they’re not here.  She always poo-pooed Covid.  Said it was no worse than the flu.  Just media hype.  So they both got pretty sick.  I’m looking forward to our fourth shot.

Took a train to Hampton Court when we were in London.

Wed, Oct 27, 2020:  Trinity, FL, to The Glades RV Park:  We were on the road by 8:15 this morning.  I did all the driving today because Mike drove all day yesterday.  We made it to LaBelle by around 12:00, had some lunch, then did the grocery shopping.  We arrived at our site by 1:30 or so.  Everything went pretty smoothly.  No mishaps yet anyway.  No wasp stings or refrigerator mess.  Got everything put away.  Tired.  Going to bed early tonight.  Over and out.

Home for the next 5 months or so.

Tue, Oct 26, 2020:  Ocala, FL, to Trinity, FL:  Left this morning at around 10:30.  Back on I75 and everything was fine for about 30 minutes—then the whole three lanes shut down.  It took us over half an hour to go about 5 miles.  An accident with an 18-wheeler shut down three lanes into one.  The 18-wheeler was loaded with wood slats that they were still picking up.  Hauled it away with a tow truck.  Not sure how many other vehicles involved.  Made it to Sandy and Dan’s at around 1:30.  Sat around catching up for a few hours and then went to their clubhouse for a late lunch.  Got to our hotel a little after 7:00.  A beautiful day.  Mid-80s.
