The one about being a Loner on Wheels. Olde Mill Stream RV Resort is one of the few campgrounds calling itself a resort that in my mind truly is a resort. It has nice large campsites, neat motorhomes, 5th wheels and large travel trailers and large campsites, a lake, a boat launch, pool, yadda, yadda, yadda. ultra clean restrooms, visible security and seems like a lot of activities. They also have a rally area, which is an open field with water and sewer hookups and a beautiful rec hall just for our use. The rec hall has a full kitchen, showers and toilets, and a large room for cards, dancing, or just casual conversation, with a big TV with lots of cable channels. Most importantly, there is excellent wifi throughout the park. I met up with ... read more

Wash Day There was breakfast with the group this morning then a business meeting of the Florida Mid Lows. With all persons attending it was a formal meeting and they covered lots of topics. I put my $10 in to join the group so I know when the meetings are in the winter so I can join them whenever possible. This is a lively bunch and fun to be with. After breakfast Kat asked me what I was going to do for the rest of the morning and since I didn’t have anything planned she asked if I wanted to do wash. Well it so happened that I did have a big bag full so we loaded our stuff in the car and went across the street to the Laundromat. We each took 2 washers, got ... read more

Taking Flight Breakfast this morning at 8:30 so the least I could do is be there on time. Kat made a delicious casserole with bacon, eggs and cheese and all 25 of us really enjoyed it. I was signed up to go on a trip to a state park not far from here but I didn’t have a great night’s sleep and I have been tired so I thought I’d stay home, clean the inside of the camper and just take it easy. The day was hot and sunny so I put up the awning for shade and was inside when all of a sudden there was a gust of wind and the awning was flopping around like crazy. I went out and knew something was wrong. It turned out that the wind had bent the ... read more

Friday February 24, 2012 and Saturday February 25, 2012 A heat wave Friday. I had the windows open to sleep Thursday night and it was still hot. Neighbor Nanette took me in her BIG CHEVY PICKUP TRUCK to Walmart and a few thrift stores. It was nice to get out. She and her husband, Clair, spend most of the year in their 5th wheel. They winter in FL and summer mostly at their campsite in MI, but travel all over to meet up with friends. They sure have helped me meet people here and include me in all their events. Very nice people. Once back at the rig, I knew Winston had been barking a lot, confirmed by neighbors who knew I would be back very soon and didn’t mind. It was so hot I had ... read more

Wednesday February 22, 2012 A beautiful day here at Southern Palms. Didn’t do much of anything, crochet, catch up on Farmville, and took lots of walks. My neighbors are all lovely people. Winston actually played with little Daisy from the rig behind me. He let her jump all over him, then he jumped on her and they rolled on the ground together. I knew he had it in him. Her owner, whose name I have forgotten, says Daisy sits on the back of their couch looking out the window whining at Winston, all she wants to do is play with him. Next door neighbors Al & Sue are interesting people. They are from Michigan and travel about 6 months a year, 4 here in FL and the one month before and one month after they see ... read more
