Wed, Feb 21, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  A nice day.  But cool this morning.  I went for my walk after lunch.  Stopped by Tim and Todd’s site for a little while.  Sat outside for a while when I got back.  Mike was out enjoying the sun.  It’s actually warmer in STL today than here.  Go figure!  I had my eye appointment yesterday.  They dilated me so everything was blurry the rest of the day.  The plumber came by and replaced the leaking pipe outside.  So I guess everything is fixed.  Left-over pasta for dinner tonight.

Sun, Feb 18, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  Rained all day today.  No race for Mike.  After I cancelled Paramount+, I received an email stating I could stream through January 2025.  Really?  I don’t get it.  I watched some shows I recorded and a Netflix documentary about Taylor Swift.  She is so talented.  Left-over chili for dinner tonight.  A good night for it.  Think it hit 67 today.

Sat, Feb 17, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  A nice day today, but pretty windy in the afternoon.  We didn’t get any rain yet, but some ugly clouds here and there.  Think it hit 80 today.  Sat outside and read for a while waiting for Mike to get up.  Once he was fully awake we got the laundry out of the way.  Then everything went to hell because the race he was looking forward to got postponed until Monday at 11:00.  He was NOT a happy camper.  I called and cancelled our Paramount+ subscription.  Their streaming platform is terrible.  We ended up watching the Super Bowl on a Hispanic channel. Anyway,, I paid for a whole year, but am supposed to get a full refund.  We’ll see.

Fri, Feb 16, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  Had to get up early again this morning to head to LaBelle for my hair appointment.  Came back to the Glades and drove around the new sites they’ve been putting in here.  Most of them are really nice.  Met Dale and Carolyn for lunch at the Riverside Grill and then back to our site and sat outside reading for a while.  Played spades for a while and now going back outside to enjoy this beautiful evening.  Upper 70s today.

Thu, Feb 15, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  Had to get up early this morning to go to a doctor’s appointment in LaBelle.  After that I ran some more errands and then headed back.  Mike was busy putting together our new trimmer.  I did some trimming to try it out.  A beautiful day.  Sat outside reading for a while.  Mike grilled some beautiful pork chops for dinner tonight.  Delicious!

Wed, Feb 14, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  After my morning ablutions I went out for a walk.  Had to wear my polartech jacket.  Only in the 50s.  But nice.  After my walk I drove up to the office and picked up our new trimmer from Amazon and took the cans over to the recycle area.  Picked up a new book at the library and turned in the one I just finished. Mike was up when I got back and ready to cook a Valentine’s Day brunch of French toast.  Really good!  He gave me a box of chocolates and a beautiful card.  One of the guys brought over a beautiful rose.  I got Mike a chocolate racing car.  But I kept it in the closet for the past week or so.  Not sure if it’s even edible now. It got quite warm one day last week. The card I made for him wouldn’t print for some reason, so I had to email it to him.  Well, I guess it’s the thought that counts. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tue, Feb 13, 2024:  Glades RV Park:  My shower felt so good this morning.  I was so sweaty all day yesterday.  Didn’t even walk today.  Walked yesterday and it was so windy it was hard walking.  I was walking right into the wind.  After my shower I didn’t do much of anything.  Just folded the sheets in the dryer.  Too chilly and windy to sit outside and read.  Mike, on the other hand, was busy busy.  He finished setting up the water softener, cleaned the grill up, and tried to fix the small leak in the faucet leading to the washer in the shed.  If he can’t fix it, we’ll get the plumber back in here who put it in.
