Sun, Nov 3, 2019:  The Glades RV and Golf Resort, Moore Haven, FL:  Went for my morning walk and checked out the marina and the clubhouse.  Clubhouse was locked—probably only open for events.  The activity building is over by the pool.  There’s also a gym of sorts.  Will have to check that out.  And the library.  We drove over to Labelle and did the grocery shopping and had lunch at a great Mexican restaurant.  Back home, put the groceries away and sat outside reading for a while.  It’s pretty cloudy in here right now and sprinkling off and on.  Only about 80 with all the clouds.  80 is good.

A couple of guys on the links.

Sat, Nov 2, 2019:  The Glades RV and Golf Resort, Moore Haven, FL:  Went for a walk this morning while it was still cool.  Really nice.  Found the laundry room near us and discovered that the Canadians are just a couple of streets over.  We’re on Bourbon Street.  How apropos.  That was the best part of the day.  Then I started calling Dish to try and resolve our Dish issues.  They won’t send a tech over—even though they’re in here all the time.  Made me crazy. Found a retail outfit in Okeechobee.  She didn’t really want to come out because it’s 50 miles from them.  But they did.  After spending over an hour they finally got it going. She only charged me $99, but I paid her $150.  Well worth it.  Hope it works.  One of the gals from the office and her husband stopped by to see how we’re doing with Dish.  Gave her one of Suzanne’s cards.  Anyway, the day turned out okay eventually.  Upper 80s here today.

Fri, Nov 1, 2019:  Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL, to The Glades RV and Golf Resort, Moore Haven, FL:  Left Lake Pan at 10:00 this morning under a sunny sky.  I drove for 1-1/2 hours and then Mike took over.  Ran into clouds around Sarasota.  A really smooth drive because I75 is really good road.  Only one slow down because of construction.  Got here at around 1:30 and set up.  I really like our site.  We’re next to a park model.  Didn’t put our mat out because we have a cement patio.  We have a great view of the golf course from our patio.  91 when we got here.  Hope it cools down a little.

Our site--not quite set up yet.

Thu, Oct 31, 2019:  Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL:  Met my sister and brother-in-law at a Cracker Barrel in Brooksville, FL.  Had a great lunch and it was great catching up.  Tomorrow we leave for our destination, The Glades RV and Golf Resort.  Hopefully it will only be a 3-1/2 hour drive.  86 here today.

My sister, Sandy, and her husband, Dan.

Wed, Oct 30, 2019:  Tallahassee East RV Park, Tallahassee, FL, to Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL:  Left Tallahassee at 9:45 and arrived in Lake Pan at 1:15. Only took 3-1/2 hours instead of 4.  After unhooking and getting set up, we did a load of laundry.  It’s HOT here.  Hope it cools down a little.  90 right now.  Have to get a bite to eat somewhere, since the soup I made for the trip is almost gone.  I’d rather go out anyway. 

There's a carpet of these little wild flowers all around us.

Deer Run RV Park, Troy, AL, to Tallahassee East RV Park, Tallahassee, FL:  Left this morning at 9:45 in the rain.  Just drizzling here, but much heavier as we continued south.  Thought it would be a short drive, but it took 4 hours.  Had to go through Troy and Dothan with lots of traffic lights.  We’re now on Eastern time (sigh) so we lost an hour.  It’s 77 here and really humid.  Guess I better go shave my legs.  No more jeans.  Yes!

Saw this critter as we left Deer Run.

Birmingham South RV Park, Pelham, AL, to Deer Run RV Park, Troy, AL:  Left this morning at 11:45 and arrived at Deer Run by 2:00 and were set up by 2:15.  Short drive today and tomorrow.  A nice, sunny day.  And I65 was good from Birmingham to Montgomery.  They’re working on the highway there.  It’s about time.  Birmingham is still awful.  The couple in the site next to us stopped over and we blabbed for a couple of hours.  They’re full-timers.  They used to be over-the-road truck drivers, so pulling a fifth-wheel is nothing to them.  75 when we got here.  Supposed to be rainy tomorrow (sigh).
