Sat, Oct 31, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  We hired a guy in the park to come and wash our fifth wheel.  He came this morning and was finished by noon.  While he was outside washing we took care of some chores inside—like cleaning the bathroom and giving myself a pedi.  After he left we sat outside reading.  It’s been cloudy all day, so not sure if we’ll see the blue moon tonight.  80s here today.

 

Our nice, clean fifth wheel.

These little caterpillar-like bugs are everywhere.  This one's on our screen room.

Fri, Oct 30, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Out this morning to stop at the ATM for some cash and then to Walmart to get the trimmer cord and a hose.  Figured while we were there we may as well buy groceries too.  I definitely prefer Winn-Dixie.  But we got that done, took it all home, sanitized it and put it all away.  Talked with Bob one of the guys across the street next to Mark. He said some of the Canadians are flying in.  Guess they can’t drive across the border, but they can fly?  Anyway, trimmed the palm between George/Pam’s place and ours.  Sat outside reading for a while.  Supposed to cool down Monday and Tuesday.  Mid-80s today.  Not too many people social distancing or wearing masks here in the park.  Troublesome. And they have live music at Grumpy’s on the weekends.  They will be packed in there. Would love to go dancing, but not during this Covid thing.  Really troublesome.

Thu, Oct 29, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Sitting outside this morning—me with my smoothie and Mike with his coffee.  I suggested we put the screen room up.  So, we did.  Took us a while.  Last year we had 5 people doing it.  This year it’s just us.  But we were able to do it.  The divorce will be final next month (kidding).  Anyway, the biggest job is done.  I think we’re going to have a gravel driveway put in which will make it a lot nicer.  Maybe some more landscaping.  All I want right now is the TV in the bedroom working.  But I’m reading a really good book right now, so that’ll have to do.  Speaking of books, I walked up to the library this morning, and surprise!  They moved it over to the old work-out building—right down the street from us.  Left the Grisham book I just finished and took another one.  90 again today.

Same horse as an Indian pony.  My favorite.

 

Wed, Oct 28, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Another beautiful day today.  Mike started the trimming around the patio and ran out of trimmer line.  So we made a run to Clewiston and I picked up some things at CVS.  But Mike couldn’t find any trimmer line for our trimmer.  So he put that off for now.  Then he set up the water softener.  Good thing because the water was tasting pretty bad.  I got Dish on the phone because the TV in the bedroom is not getting a signal.  We have to get in touch with a local distributor and have that fixed.  Spent the rest of the day in the shade reading.  Our neighbor, Todd, stopped by to say hello.  Not sure how many Canadians will make it back.  90 today.

Tue, Oct 27, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  A nice morning today.  The rabbit was outside.  He sat there forever while I futzed around trying to take his picture with my phone.  Went for my walk.  A lot of people not here yet.  No one wearing masks or social distancing.  We still do.  Went to Crumb’s for lunch.  No masks there either.  We took ours to go.  A couple from Missouri came in.  They were the first ones we’ve seen wearing masks.  Troublesome.  Did our laundry and got that out of the way.  A lady in there said it’s not a big thing. People aren’t really dying. It’s all the media.  No worse than the flu.  Okay then.  90 here today. After lunch we played spades for a while. 

Thought the cat might go after the bunny.  But she left him alone.

View from our patio.

Mon, Oct 26, 2020:  Ocala, FL, to The Glades RV Park:  Well, we got here safe and sound.  But when Mike opened the electric box to plug in our electric, there was a nest of wasps in there and he got stung.  Thought I’d have to take him to urgent care, but no problem at all.  Then when we got inside, for some unknown reason we (I) left an open bottle of wine in there.  It had a stopper on it, but it exploded and wine all over.  Took me over an hour to clean it all up.  We’re exhausted.  Took a shower and going to relax the rest of the evening.  89 when we got here.

Sun, Oct 25, 2020:  Atlanta, GA, to Ocala, FL:  Well, today was a better driving day.  I stopped driving after 2 hours.  Really sleepy.  Thought I got a good night sleep, but apparently not.  There was a bunch of people staying in a couple of rooms across from each other on our floor that were pretty noisy.  Hoteling it is for the birds.  I’d much rather be in an RV.  But we’re leaving it in Florida now, so that’s just the way it is.  We’re at a Holiday Inn in Ocala.  There’s a Cracker Barrel just across the street, so we ordered dinners on line and picked up.  A great change from fast food.  It was 91 when we got here.  Nice.
