Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Drove up to Big Pine Key for lunch at Pizza Works and then headed back to our park.  At 3:00 we headed over to the clubhouse for a wine tasting hosted by our neighbor, Richard.  We were tasting cabernet this time.  After that we all went out for dinner at Mangrove Mama’s.  Sandy played her harmonica with the guy providing the evening’s entertainment.  She was awesome as usual.  Back home and settled in.  Mid-80s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  After our morning ablutions we walked around the lake.  Wes was walking Mutley and walked with us.  We had been told that Mutley chases the Iguanas right into the lake.  And lo and behold, there was an Iguana and Mutley chased him right into the water and jumped in after him.  He swam around and around looking for it, but they are way too fast for Mutley. Stopped by Karen and Jim’s site for a while since Karen was sitting outside.  They just got here a couple of days ago from North Carolina.  After walking around the lake, I continued down Johnson Road and picked up trash and Mike went back.  Lazy Lakes is very unique because we’re surrounded by a wildlife and natural area.  There are all kinds of water birds and some migrating birds.  Once when I was walking a neighbor’s dog, we scared up a huge land crab.  Scared the crap out of me.  They’re big and kind of ugly.  Our Netflix was in the mail, so in the afternoon we watched “Last Vegas” which was really funny.  They’re showing it tomorrow night for movie night here in the park.  A beautiful, warm and sultry day today.  In the low 80s.

She puts us all to shame.  The other night at the KOA she danced every dance all night long.  She loves to party.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Really warm and breezy today.  We decided to do the laundry at the KOA today.  I walked over and Mike drove over. We got that out of the way and then sat outside reading.  Watched some big clouds roll in and then roll right out to reveal a beautiful blue sky.  Went into Key West and had dinner at the Conch Republic Seafood Co. on Schooner Wharf.  A couple of 80+ ladies asked if they could join us at our table.  One is from Boston and the other from NYC.  They’re here for a couple of weeks but had a terrible time getting down here, what with all the snow storms going on.  One of them spent the night at the Atlanta airport.  They are looking forward to getting home.  We had a great dinner.  I had snapper and Mike had raw oysters and stuffed shrimp.  Chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.  After dinner we walked around the wharf for a while.  A beautiful night.  It was still 81 at 8:00, tempered with nice tropical breezes.  A perfect day!

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another gorgeous day today. I got the cleaning out of the way early and then Mike went over for shoes in the afternoon.  Sat outside reading my book and Carmen stopped by.  Later on Robin and Mutley stopped by on their walk.  I needed to go for a walk today.  But I didn’t.  Maybe I’ll walk over to the KOA tonight. Happy hour tonight.  And then Boondocks for dinner.  Another lovely day.  Mid-80s.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A nice day today.  We headed to Big Pine to pick up some stuff for the Super Bowl party here at the park.  We picked up a fruit platter and some cole slaw.  Martin cooked up some ribs and a pork loin.  Dallas hired a band and we had a pretty good party going.  Caught up with some friends who just arrived.  We headed home after about an hour after the game started.  We’re rooting for the Denver Broncos, but it’s not looking good so far.  Our neighbor, Sandy Bush (aka Chicago Sandy) played her harmonica with the band for a set or two.  She is getting really good.  Low 80s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A beautiful day today under pristine blue skies.  On the computer this morning and Ray stopped by with Munch.  He hung around all morning shooting the breeze.  After he left I sat outside reading my book for a while.  Mike went up and got our Netflix which arrived today.  Made a big batch of popcorn and watched that.  A bunch of people are going to the KOA to see a local band.  We’re taking a liver appreciation day.  Upper 70s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A nice, warm sunny day today.  Big change from yesterday.  Guess it rained all night last night.  Needless to say, it was pretty humid today.  But it was great to get outside again.  I was sitting outside in my chaise lounge reading my book and Richard came by on his walk around the lake and said:  “There’s a couple of iguanas having carnal relations in your site.”  Sure enough.  First time we’ve seen that!  Went to Mangrove Mama’s for dinner.  This place used to be a railroad stop for Flagler’s overseas railroad back in the day.  Love the history down here!
