Moving Day

Moving Day Friday February 7, 2020

Today is a sad day. Moving from Thousand Trails Orlando to Clerbrook Golf & RV Resort, about a half an hour away. Check out is around 11, I think. We were ready to pull out then. I did my last little touch-ups of my flower bed. And watered them. 
Last night we had a really bad storm. The weather man predicted almost the exact time it hit, Where We Are. 10:40 it just poured. It was very windy. The storm was moving 50 miles an hour. I was awake till after 1 a.m. I couldn't sleep with that going on. 
So we pulled out headed to Clearbrook. Was a nice drive. We had a very tight site. We tried to pull in from One Direction. To
many cars across the street. So Jim pulled out. Turned around came the other direction to back in. There was a beautiful piece. Of perfectly manicured grass I said don't get in the grass. But he  didn't,  he does an awesome job moving this monster around.  So we got situated. Had lunch, Then we went for a walk. 
 Jim was checking prices on renting a golf cart for the week. There's a Place here that rents, so we walked over there. And rented a golf cart for only $75 a week. So we rented it for both weeks. So we drove all around the park. Which takes a pretty long time it's a huge place, on a golf course. After that, we had dinner. And watched a little TV. Beautiful Sunset

This morning. We left for Brownwood Farmers Market. Around 10:30. Love to shop over there. There must have been a West Highland white terrier. Group meeting was about 20 dogs, everywhere, they really are cute. We dressed to warmly for the day. It usually starts out cooler and warms up. So we made a quick trip back to the FW. Put on more summer clothes. Had a quick bite of lunch. We heard on The Villages radio. There was a arts and crafts fair going on in Lake Sumter Landing.  So we drove over there. Walked all around so beautiful there. Then we realized it was actually at Spanish Springs .
Jim's boss was coming into town today to spend a week in The Villages rental house. They talked on the phone. When he arrived and later, he picked us up on the golf cart. And took his back to his house so we can see it. We had a nice chat with them made plans for tomorrow. He took us back to Brownwood. He had to do it one at a time cuz he only had a two seater golf cart. So Jim and I both got to spend sometime in the house by ourselves. . The house is 3 bedroom two bath, beautiful.  So after we were both back in Brownwood we went to TooJay's deli restaurant. had a quick dinner.  Shared key lime pie for dessert. Then went back to the FW in Clearbrook Quick Change, and went over for the line dance they had this evening. Talked  to a lady there that was in Orlando with me. Made plans for Monday to go back and dance over there. 
 Took a golf cart ride back to the FW. What a busy day.

After a leisurely morning. We got ready to meet Lance and his wife. At Spanish Springs to go to the Arts and Crafts show there.  We arrived and parked behind Publix. And walked over to meet them. They came in their golf cart. They got lost. And drove for two hours. To meet us. His wife Crystal and I walked all around the shops. Such beautiful things they had. She bought some jewelry. I bought more things at one time that I've have in a long time. Probably the neatest thing was pictures made with vintage jewelry this you must pull in to get a close-up view of it was just gorgeous. The horse picture was 189. 
 We walked around for quite a long time. Jim and Lance kept moving from one bar to the next to stay a little closer to where we were. They were having fun, too. We were there for hours. It was so much fun. We found a wonderful place for lunch. Thanks for treating us guys. We had a lot of fun with you today. They said goodbye and we had them text us when they got home. It was only an hour to get back. Jim and I actually went back to look at a few things we missed the first time. . 
 Then we drove back towards the campground. Then we stopped at a WinnDixie, Jim  went to get firewood, beer, of course. We got a few other things still looking for Diet Pepsi. 
We got home and he grilled a couple really good, Texas weiners. That were given to us by the Costanza's. What a great fun day with friends.

This morning. I got a ride back to TTO  to line dance with a lady that was from here Betty. She moves back to Orlando tomorrow.  We had a nice chat, and the drive went very fast. We drove past our old site. And there was someone else in it. She was driving around looking for an open spot for tomorrow. We danced till noon. Then we headed back. She wanted to stop at a drugstore. To get her husband Valentine's Day card I checked on Diet Pepsi. But all they had was Pepsi Zero. They were a dollar a bottle. So I bought 4 when we got back to the CG she dropped me off. I thanked her again. Hoping to see her soon. 
Jim and I had lunch and then took a long golf cart ride around the park.
We sat out under the awning in the shade. Today's high was about 85. Later, he grilled some salmon. I made a few hushpuppies and onion rings in the air fryer. I made us each a small salad for dinner. 
 He watch the hockey game outside, While I cleaned up inside we took showers did a load of laundry. What a beautiful day.
