Hi Everyone, Finished our second Sea Day. The ocean has been pretty calm. After reading for a bit on my balcony, I went up to the deck just above the pool and found a spot to sit and read. Weather was perfect for me. Most people were wearing sweaters/sweatshirts and long pants. I had shorts and sleeveless top on and it felt great. Did not get a lot of reading done. A couple sat down at my table as I was eating my (very good) pizza for lunch and had their lunch with me. Very nice and chatty couple from Oregon. As soon as they left, a couple of the solo traveling gals came by that I had met so they sat with me and then another gal joined us. We went to the talk on ... read more

April 3 The April Fools Day, moved to the Third. Heavy rain and rush hour traffic made me wonder if I would miss my flight. Still I made it to the airport by ten for my eleven flight. Zipped through check in and got my chair right away. As always, mine was the last gate. My pushed was about sixty, stopped to visit a friend and exchange lunch items, then proceeded to tell me haw far the gate was. 1st surprise, a shuttle bus would take us from gate 23 to gate 53. The waiting room looked surprisingly empty but the plane was on time. 1st fall as I tripped at the door of the plane. No damage. We sat on the runway for half an hour and were warned it would be a bumpy flight. ... read more

“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Our best and only plan was to provide you with a blog on a wonderful cruise that took you, along with us, on the high seas. That will still happen BUT first, we must fill you in on what took us AWRY. After returning home from this marvelous cruise, Cory was stricken with Covid. I followed suit soon after…..are we surprised?? One of our fellow cruisers became congested during the last couple of days of the cruise. It didn't take long for the majority of us to all become congested once home…..and sick with COVID-19. I was the last one to be defiled…..now the final one to recover. I'm still confined to the inside of our RV while our friends are gradually returning to our Coffee ... read more

Oh, Boy! When you think you have completed something and then realize you never did…..you have to wonder why. WHY?? I was starting to think about writing our next blog. I was sure we had published one about our St.Augustine trip. I searched through my 629 blogs……it wasn't there! Where was it? Where God, where? Had I deleted it during a crazed moment? Never! I was shaken and nauseous. Then the spark lit. I had put some of the trip photos on our Facebook page. I had never written a full blog about it with ALL the details, minutia and photos. Whew! I wasn't losing my mind. Obviously, I had not drunk from the Fountain of Youth when we visited it. It wouldn't have worked anyway. I am what I am. Lulu wanted to find the ... read more

So much to celebrate and enjoy during this festive season. In this blog, you will see us celebrating at CELEBRATION (the town that Disney built but does not own anymore), indulging ourselves at a Thanksgiving dinner, enjoying all the friends and places here at Tropical Palms and around, partaking in a glorious Golf Cart Parade…..and much more. Sit back and relax…this may take a while. YAWN! The Town of Celebration is just a hop, skip, and jump from our park. Every Christmas, they decorate their Main Street like a Winter Wonderland. There is an enormous Christmas tree and a skating rink. In the evening, it even snows (soapflakes)! Hey, it's Florida! The entire town looks beautiful as so many residents highly decorate their homes…..some actually hire professional decorators to turn their properties into a beautiful Christmas ... read more
