The One About Catching up AGAIN!! Gosh how time flies! I can’t believe my 2 weeks here is almost up. The days have settled into a pleasant routine which includes walking Winston, eating, cleaning the RV, eating, riding my bike, eating, you get the idea. Despite all the eating breaks, I have not gained any weight. My pants still fit the same as they did when I started the trip, which is NOT good, I need to lose weight before I go back to the MD in May. Lots of random thoughts and events will follow. Garbage is an issue here at TT Orlando. There is a green dumpster positioned in front of each rest room where campers deposit their own trash. The dumpsters are emptied twice a week. The dumpster in my area is often ... read more

Happy Birthday Lisa! I left the shade up on the big back window last night and watched the stars before falling asleep. Then during the night I looked out and there was the moon, with Jupiter? Near it. I grabbed the camera and wanted to catch the moon, stars and the naked cypress trees but it didn’t happen. It was a beautiful sight and in my mind’s eye. When dawn did come it was bright and red but then the clouds gathered and it rained a little. I wanted to launch my kayak today so Oscar and I walked down to the lake and it was very windy. So I postponed a little. Then at 11 I just had to do it wind or not. So I inflated the boat and put it in the car ... read more

The One About Freeze Warnings and Watches One Son reads the blog, Valentine card$ received and money spent already. It got so cold Saturday night/early Sunday morning. When I got up it was 40 degrees outside and frost on the ground. It was a beautiful morning, crystal clear, no breeze, just COLD! Has my blood thinned???? Am I becoming a frail southern girl? My electric heater worked all night long, keeping the interior temp at 58. Brrrr. Despite the early morning chill, Moya heats up nicely. I have an unobstructed exposure to the sun all day long, so as soon as it comes up, the inside temperature goes up to 70 despite what the outside is. No need for heat. Breaking camp with Ginnie was sad, but, by golly, between the 3 of us we got ... read more

The One About Never Too Old to Rock And Roll, and other things Happy Belated Valentine’s Day!!! I just realized I never wished that on Thursday! Duh. Note: start sarcasm here: Just wondering if my grandkids got the card$ I sent them…..end sarcasm here. Uh huh. Guess we will find out who reads this and who doesn’t, right? It was a glorious morning!! I was up and out early, using my newly opened app runtastic (but they should call it walktastic for me) I did 1.3 miles in 30 minutes. Remember, this is Winston’s walk, not mine. He gets to smell everything he wants on this walk, and he sure does. I counted six hot air balloons in the sky at once, but never got a good enough angle for a good picture. The weather reports ... read more

The One About the Air Boat Ride It was pouring when I went to bed last night. I love the sound of rain on Moya’s roof. I sure am getting used to lazy mornings. I slept until 7:30. Winston woke me up happy and wagging and raring to go. The rain had stopped, but it was overcast and almost misty. I have a new app on my iPhone, runtastic PRO. I got a coupon for a free download, and did it, I think it’s one of those $2.99 apps. ((I did get a step counter for Christmas from Tim & Gret, but it kept jamming and not counting my steps, and the clip was weak and it kept falling off my pants. It fell off one day and I stepped on it and it was dead.)) ... read more
