Walk Fit, Line Dancing and Painting Class

Walk Fit, Line Dance and painting class.

Wednesday March 30, 2022

I was up and out of here for Walk fit and then we line dance 2 hours. One of the dancers said her watch said we walked 10 k steps in those 3 hours, wow. And so fun too.

When I got home we had lunch together.

This was my final masterpiece.

Then at 3 Linda and I went up for our painting class with CC. It took 3 hours, was really fun. As soon as we arrived a girl was giving out hard butterscotch candy, and some guy started choking on one. She had to heimlich him,  but he was okay. That was all too familiar and scary.

There was about 15 or 17 people total.

 We left around 6 p.m. Jim put the grill on and made some turkey burgers and a couple beef patties for dinner. The turkey ones will be for tomorrow. I took Linda home they were going out for their anniversary dinner. But we did make plans to get together tomorrow night for dinner, kind of like a potluck for 4.

We chilled the rest of the night, gotta stop saying chilled.

Thursday March 31, 2022

This am out the door for walk fit. 

After was over talked with Fee Fee, she is full time here. We had a nice chat. We went over to the produce guy and we both got some. I got 6 corn on the cob for tonight's dinner party. And grapes,  onions, strawberries, huge heavy watermelon.

Got home. Went for a walk saw Mike and Mandy again. Saw the cranes again. 

This is cool for this cat, we call a catio.

Then decided to run into Wal Mart quick for a few things I wanted for tonight. We wanted to get out before noon, and the RV's started to come in.

They had a ranger out at the road to turn away anyone who tryed to come in. There was also 2 cops on bikes out there. We saw them turn a few away.

We shopped but there was a few things they did not have. We got home put stuff away. 

I made more of the same mini zucchini pie muffins.

Linda saw Jim out and asked if we liked deviled eggs and potato salad. He said oh yes. 

We had a later lunch the turkey burgers he grilled yesterday. 

Jim was outside a bit, I heard him talking, Lynn came over and they sat out and talked awhile. I called Drew and we all chatted a bit. He lives really close to him upstate in PA. 

After he left. We texted Linda and Dennis said we put grill on. Then Stewart and Sallie stopped on there bikes. ALL 6 of us chatted together, we ended up inviting them to join us for dinner.

 We had Jim's grilled chicken, zucchini pie, corn on the cob, watermelon. Linda made eggs and potato salad. 

This was my dessert chocolate chip zucchini cake with topping and strawberries. 

We had a lovely time. The weather held out, was windy but it died down enough to eat outside, and the rain held off too. I took the ladies in to see FW.

We said good night to everyone about 830. I washed up dishes and Jim took trash up to the dumpsters.

Related a bit, Jim went to bed first. Great day with wonderful people.

On the Road Again

On the Road Again 

Tuesday March 29, 2022

This am up early again first coffee and I made us breakfast after Jim gets up. I got ready and went  up for walk fit.

Then got home and Jim and I went for a walk around this end of the park. He has knee pain. But I feel he needs to move a little bit more or work will be even harder on him when we get back to PA, even if it's only 5 months.

As we were walking, Mike came up behind us and we got to walk back to our RV with him. It was nice catching up with him, and hearing of there future travel plans. We chatted for a bit longer out at the truck. Was so hot in the sun. We said goodbye and say hi to Mandy for us.

Great to see the truck sitting here again.

Then we came in. Got in the golf cart and went up to see the produce guy was here. Found strawberries. Oranges, grapes, zucchini, blueberries. More gator jurkey.

Then we got home and Jim showered and we cooled off a bit. Then around 1 we left to go get lunch. We had a hard time deciding where to go. There are so many good choices here.. We were going to go to the Golden Coral but he couldn't find on the map. We drove by anyway just to see. It was a construction site, gone. My phone said alot closed down, but a few reopened but not here.

So we went to Olive Garden. Had a great meal. But  To many bread sticks, talked Jim into taking leftovers home. 

Then we went to BJ's for booze. Not as big as we thought it would be, but Jim said they had good prices.

Then we went to O'Reilly he wanted to get a locking fuel cap. He got it right away. I said don't you want to look around a little. The sales guy said yea, that's a switch. I found 2 things he forgot he wanted. 

Then we left. We walked next door to a Dollar Tree. Was really hot out. Only really wanted TP but found some other stuff and some snacks. Each got an ice cream treat for dessert ate in the truck and headed home. Fun day out all went well.

When we arrived I put stuff away. Jim changed clothes and sat outside for awhile and ended up talking to Lance for awhile. We had a few snacks later but don't need any dinner tonight. 

Then we took our nightly golf cart ride. Really nice when it cools off a bit. 

Saw a really cool portable veggie garden. Later we got talk to her. I said the peppers looked wilted and dry. She said yes hubby was babying then. They were talking home to eventually plant.

Then we saw her walking around, never know what you will see in a campground.

We arrived home just after dark,, 730ish, came in later we watched This Is Us and,  The Thing about Pam. He also was watching Hockey on his phone I don't think it went well. 

Went to bed just after 11 pm

The TRUCK is BACK

The TRUCK is BACK 

HAPPY Monday March 28, 2022

Today we get the truck back.

 I was up today first around 7 a.m. I left just after 9 to go to WalkFit then  line dance till noon.  I took Joan home in the golf cart she was carrying a lot of stuff today. So many people are going to be leaving soon.

 I got home I ate a little something Jim had eaten the rest of his cheeseburger macaroni soup we chilled a bit. Dennis did offer to take us to get the truck today. He works till 4:30. It was so nice of him, but Jim wanted to leave ASAP so he called an Uber and he picked us up around 1:30. 

We arrived at Auto Truck Solutions and Louie showed us all the parts he removed. High speed fuel pump, you can see the metal shavings in the red circle area. 

Jim and Louie 

Jim is pointing to where the prevention kid is so I can't happen again. 

He replaced all the injectors, had to change the oil again but he didn't charge us to do it again. 

He explained a lot of things to us that he did. He really was great, he told us it could take two weeks, but he really got it taken care of so quickly I said you have been great, but we really don't want to see you again. We will be so nervous for a bit driving, especially when we are Towing.

 So in all total both times was about 8800. We left then all is well. 

We first had to get more diesel 5.19 a gallon today. then we headed to CVS, we both needed pills. Ordered are refills. Then  we headed back to the FW. 

Good to have the truck back we relaxed a bit. Then  we have dinner around 5. Put the unfried chicken in the air fryer I heated up the corn on the cob new potatoes I made some mixed vegetables for me, we had key lime pie for dessert and celebration. 

And I wash the dishes we took a golf cart ride. Mike and Mandy were not home. We stopped at Lynn and Jeanann, they got here today. We sat with them a bit at their picnic table. They saw a Gator today in the pond there.

 Then driving back home we passed by Stewart and Sallie  and then saw them walking, we chatted for a bit then we pass Diane and her husband on the cricket. They are from Canada we chatted a bit some guy asked if we were going to race. 

We got home I was watching a drone flying around he was so high up. We watched the new show, I showered and then blog before

Sunday Farewell RV Garden Party

Sunday Farewell RV Garden Party

Sunday March 27, 2022

This am woke up at 6:30, my right leg knee pit, as I call it, hurt in bed. I got up and didn't hurt rest of the day. 

I got the coffee pot going. It was a cool morning, but I did have the fireplace on overnight. So it wasn't as cold as the night before. I wanted to make a few things in the convection Microwave before it got to hot outside.

First thing I want mixed up a pumpkin chocolate chip baked oatmeal for breakfast. Bottom left, Then a bakers dozen of pumpkin banana CC cookies, had leftover pumpkin to use up. Then 2 large pieces of unfried chicken, for later.. Last for our party tonight savory zucchini pie  muffins.

Jim was up pretty early too, guess that I was making alot of kitchen noises. He does like that kind of noise.

Cooking took awhile. We also washed sheets and couple loads of towels. Hung outside. Made bed together. He washed some dishes too.

As I was finishing up we started a new original Netflix movie the Adam Project starring Ryan Gosling. Was really good can't  go wrong with  Ryan.

Then went for a Buggy ride.  Then we chilled a bit inside while Jim fell asleep, he took a little nap.

Our other neighbor on the other side of us. They bought this old portable square gazebo that the park model had, that they prepared on Saturday to move soon. This is before picture 

This the After

Wow what a difference.

The one neighbor did it for the other for there birthday suprise. How nice, they worked on it all day today. They did a fabulous job.

Then we got ready I heated up the zucchini pie, muffins and made a sign so people would know what it was.

We had lots of good food and a few  treats. Was great to all get together. Met more of the hubby's that don't always come. Can't believe so many are leaving soon.  We never stayed in TTO Florida this late in the season.

Our group picture of all of us.

We said our goodbyes as I will see most of them tomorrow at walk fit  / line dance. They have a great large site, with bath house next door, great entertainment space.

We took the long way home on the golf cart. Sat outside a bit more, such a beautiful early evening.

We went in Jim wanted to watch the hockey game that started already. Yea they Lost.

Saturday March 26, 2022

I was up first this AM,  made coffee put heat on and got under my blanket. Said 63 degrees downstairs. I heard some noise outside. There was alot of equipment and people out ripping the siding off the park model next to us. I went got after I got dressed to see what was going on. I asked if they are Moving it,  he said not today. Was fun to watch.

Needless to say it was Jim's wake up call.

He got up and we started moving to get ready to go up and set up for yard sale. There was 6 different seller this time. Always nice to make a few bucks and sell some stuff. And have really nice people to talk to.

I came back with Linda next door. Jim helped me we put everything away. If you don't put things away right away, RV'S can get really messy quick.. Between last night and today. Plus Jim made the bed and washed the dishes. 

I had lunch Jim had a meatloaf sandwich earlier. We relaxed and watched Big Sky. Did blog stuff.

Then I started cooking, made hamburger macaroni soup and new potatoes and corn in IP for dinner to go with the sausage he grilled yesterday.

We went over to our neighbors, they invited us over for some dip she made and we had a great conversation on RV life, we had  Alot of laughs we stayed a few hours. I went over to get Jim's pill and put corn and potatoes on. Took them so of the soup made. Thanks Dennis and Linda Price.

We got home just after 7 had dinner washed dishes we relaxed for the rest of the evening.

Jim checked his email and we got a text from Louis from Auto and Truck Solutions that the truck would be finished Monday after he did a final check on it. That is wonderful. So relieved. Hopefully we will be back on schedule.

Keeping Busy Today

Keeping Busy Today

Friday March 25, 2022

This morning I got ready went up to line dance. Almost 12:30 I headed back and I picked up Joan and dropped her off first.

When I got home ate some of my cauliflower rice quinoa veggie mix. Then we got into the golf cart and took it to Publix next door to TTO. It only took 7 minutes to get there.

We are very close to the road and just went out the back gate.

We arrived and came all the way down the sidewalk and parked in the mulch just off the walk way in the shade. Then we went into the sub place. Called Philly Steak & Wings,  there so he could order a cheesesteak for lunch.

He waited on the golf cart while I went into the salon to see if I could get an appointment for my nails next week. The place where my MIL went last year, for hair and nails was next door, they closed. The place that I went onto only does hair. Now I need a plan B.

Then went into Publix alone too. Ready didn't need that much but was fun. I probably was in there about 45 minutes. We drove home then. Saw Dennis on our way out. We actually beat him home. He said the traffic was heavy.

On the way home I stopped traffic on the long TTO driveway, it's almost a mile long, so a large turtle could cross safely.

We got home, put stuff away. Then I put 2 glitter tattoo's on. Then we took the golf cart around.

Jim grilled some chicken and sausage and we ate an  early dinner. I got ready for our line dance party.

Sat out with Dennis and Linda for a bit and chatted. Then we went home so Jim could put his boots and jeans on. 

Stewart and Sallie stopped on there bikes to say Hi.

We had to go they didn't want to keep us from our party.

We headed up to the party, early so we could get a seat. Good we went early.

Was really fun, Jim and I were able to dance way more then I thought he would.

Don't know what the lady did in the middle of the picture to her leg, but she really wanted to dance.

Arrived back home about 9:30, I was really pooped. Texted with my brother Drew, and I went to bed about 1030. He was watching hockey.

Thursday March 24, 2022

This am I was up first. Jim got up and washed his hair in the sink. Neil was picking him up to go for breakfast. The other day when he was going to take Jim to give the diesel guy money, he thought they could go for breakfast after, but he never said anything, SO when he didn't have to go, Neil never said anything, he really wanted to go for breakfast. SO  when they told us about that. So they planned to go this morning. They went to Eggs Up Grill in Winter Garden.  He stopped at the store got me 3 items and beer on there way home. They left just after 8:30, and returned about 11:10. I asked him take a picture of course he didn't.  I asked what he ate he said egg white omelet with turkey bacon. Lol don't believe it for a minute.  

We had some pretty heavy rain then. I made quinoa and cauliflower rice for me. 

Nancy called she needed celery, her's had a big worm in it.. Went for a ride and took it over to them. Jim said yeah we have a purpose. Had a nice visit, can't believe they leave tomorrow.

Got home later took the golf cart up to the Italian food truck.

We had shrimp with penna pasta, lasagna bread and we shared a piece of brownie cheesecake. 

Put leftovers away, in the rest if the night.

Big Bucks and a Buggy Ride

Tuesday March 22. 2022

I heard Jim get up at 7:30. He started coffee and walked up the road to meet the truck mechanic to give his wife a down payment so he could order parts for the truck. Walking back got a good picture of the FW with the morning sunshine hitting it.

I was up an hour later. I made us breakfast.

Later Jim ordered Papa John's for 5:30 dinner.

Jim was texting the diesel guy about what we're going to order, though about a larger 70 gal fuel tank, was 2K, and could really delay our timeline. So will keep what we have and just drop it and clean it out. Also a prevention kit too, I think he said yes to that.

We had leftovers for lunch. Then after 2 we went for a buggy ride. Saw this cool eagle kite. 

Bet it keeps birds and squirrels away. Looks cool when flying. 

We finally saw another Switch Crew flag. I stopped we said hi and talked for a bit. His name was Earl Grinnell. His wife wasn't home yet.

We stopped by the lake again and sat out on two chairs at the end of the pier. 

Was really beautiful. 

But really hot out. Everytime we stop and talk to someone I have to find some shade.

We went by and saw that the produce guy was here. 

We found zucchini, tomatoes, corn on the cob, blueberries, strawberries was really nice for 17.00.

Then we stopped with Neil and Nancy and said hi.

 Here's a picture of her beautiful flowers. We had a nice visit, can't believe they leave this Friday.

On the way back home, soon time for pizza delivery.

Saw a couple we had talked to in Wauchula they definitely remembered our golf cart. We told them about K and J meat and produce, they just wanted to say they went a couple times and they loved it so much, SO funny.

We got home and Jim stayed out waiting for the pizza guy.

After we ate, he went out and I watched a few of my shows. He came in watched Hockey game for rest of the evening.
