January 4 2014 -- Busy days at Ocala Florida

I guess it is a good thing that I bought a desk.  When I got into my cleaning supplies under the sink looking for furniture oil, I found the tub had about two inches of water in it.  We bought three different faucets and ended up putting the old one back.  The new ones all seem to have a need for three-four holes and our setup has only two.  The trip planner did get a hole cutter (he has several in his tool shed); but when he was preparing to drill he found a metal brace that was holding the sink up.  Bad idea to mess with something else.  We spent two afternoons driving from Lowes, WalMarts, and Home Depot.  
Camping World; Ocala Florida
 This town has a Walgreens on just about every block, so while driving buy we decided to pull in and get flu shots.  Gary got a flu and pneumonia shot.  My insurance insisted that they have a care facility in the building.  Therefore, I didn't get anything.


We were up late last night watching the Mizzou vs Oklahoma game.  It was good!  I scared Prissy a couple of times because I was making noises she was not familiar hearing from me.

Today and tomorrow are stay-at-home days and enjoy the weekend.  We watch sports and Cowboy Church.

Before I updated the blog today, I went out and took a picture of our site at Whispering Pines RV Park; Silver Springs, FL  Gary did a great job again.  We are parked next to a couple from New York.  They are going to leave their camper here year round and buy a Class C to travel to other places.  While I was sitting under the owning, I made friends with a couple of men.  One ended up taking the Bed and Bath storage boxes.  He is redoing an older camper that had been in this park for over 30 years.  Completely gutting it and starting all over.  I hung my lights but could not find the extension cord.  So maybe I can talk Gary into finding it.

This is the view from the front.  We have a large grassy area that has no parking.  The bear did come back last night and roughed up the dumpster again.

We are doing well.  I finished another baby Afghan and ready to start on another project.

Weekend meals will consist of Christmas ham bone and beans.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
