Sun, Feb 19, 2023:  The Glades RV Park:  Haven’t blogged in a while.  We washed all the walls and ceiling in here.  Had to get a new microwave since it broke while cooking pasta.  Had the new one installed a couple of days ago.  We really missed not having one.  It’s getting really hot this week.  Enjoyed lunch al fresco a couple of times.  Went to the tiki bar in Clewiston a few days ago which was packed.  They’re getting ready for the big bass tournament there.  They come from all over for this thing.  We won’t be going there for a while.  That’s about it.

Sun, Feb 5, 2023:  The Glades RV Park:  We FINALLY got some rain.  A front rolled through yesterday with lots of gusty winds.  The rain started early this morning and didn’t stop until around 1:00.  We planted grass seed where they dug trenches to put water and electric in the shed.  Now maybe it’ll grow.  We watched some episodes of 1923 waiting for the rain to stop.  Once it did, we wiped down our site and Mike put some fertilizer in the palms.  It’s now only 75 but really humid.

Thu, Feb 2, 2023:  The Glades RV Park:  We went up to the Riverside Grill here in the park and had a nice dinner.  Thanks to Laurie and Tim!  It’s been really warm in here the last few days.  Nice!  The old Crumb’s is now a country store and grill.  We’ll have to go check it out, but I sure want the Riverside Grill to stay viable.  Getting ready to start taxes.  That should be fun.

Wed, Jan 25, 2023:  The Glades RV Park:  We drove to Sebring yesterday to meet some friends from the Keys.  Actually, they live in Lake Placid, but we’re lunching at a cute Mexican restaurant right on one of the many lakes around there—I think it’s Lake Jackson.  We were planning on eating in the screened-in porch, but it was a little chilly, so we opted to eat inside.  Douglas and Chuck came all the way from Dade City.  The rest of us were from LaBelle and The Glades.  Cindy, Paul, and Sally Jean (the birthday girl) live in Lake Placid.  Had a great time catching up with everyone.  We hadn’t seen Cindy, Paul and Sally since around 2017.  On our way home we checked out the little downtown area in Lake Placid.  There are all these amazing murals on a lot of the buildings.  We didn’t have time to take pictures, but we’ll be going back.  There must be at least 7 lakes around this cute little town.  I took the trash out at 4:30 this morning.  It’s so pretty at this time in the morning—the stars are out and there’s a haze over the golf course.  Came back in and went back to bed.

Fri, Jan 13, 2023:  The Glades RV Park:  We had lunch with a bunch of friends from the Keys.  There were 9 of us.  When we got there, the parking lot was full and the place was packed.  Apparently, there were 60 people there from Moss Landing—wherever that is.  Had a great time catching up.  We haven’t changed a bit.  Still young looking (sigh).

Sat, Dec 31, 2022:  The Glades RV Park:  We were sitting on the patio having lunch at the Riverside Grill and a sea plane landed on the river right in front of us.  The most excitement we’ve had all week. Should have gotten my phone out and taken a video.  Going to enjoy shrimp and watch Dolly and Mylie tonight.  Watching the Michigan/TCU game.  Happy New Year!

Mon, Dec 26, 2022:  The Glades RV Park:  We had a great Christmas dinner yesterday.  Pork loin roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, squash and a sweet potato pie.  I also baked a loaf of orange cranberry bread.  Stayed inside with the fireplace going and watched a Netflix movie.  Not exactly a warm holiday movie.  “All is Quiet on the Western Front.”  A great movie, but not exactly uplifting.  Today I only went out once—to take out the trash.  It’s going to be a little warmer tomorrow.  We do have company in here now.  A tiny little mouse.  I thought it was a little lizard.  Mike got a paper towel thinking he could catch the little interloper.  Really, Mike?  Mouse traps are now set.  It is going to die.  We tried have-a-heart traps a few years ago.  But no luck with those.  It’s under my chair right now—probably making a nest or something (sigh).  From not too sunny and rodent infested Florida, over and out.
