The one about Happy to be home in Clermont. For whatever reason, I slept in Sunday morning; I never heard the rigs around me pulling out. Must be all that walking! I was ready to hit the road by 10 after slowly breaking camp. Fortunately, it hasn’t rained since that first day and the field was dry, and I easily made it off the grass to the pavement. I bid Joanne and Joan goodbye, and I will see them down the road in 2 weeks as we prepare to go to New Orleans. Joanne told me I made a smart decision not to attend Saturday night’s entertainment as the guy told the same jokes he did last year, and his wife really went over the top with her religious gospel preaching. But, they decided to attend ... read more

The one about the end of my long drive. OMG, last night was so bloody interesting. Remember that couple that invited me to dinner? The deputy sheriff and his wife? Well, picture this. My rig can fit in two Walmart spaces. My wheels are inside the lines side to side and front to back I don’t stick out. I selected a site with 2 of these types of spaces to my left and a whole bunch to my right. A small truck camper pulled in first on my left trailering an open thing similar to what my lawn service hauls their stuff around in. Whatever was inside was covered with an orange tarp tied down with bungies. Until I went out to walk Winston, I didn’t realize that the sheriff pulled in TBoning me, with his ... read more

Before I start Wednesdays post - I've just noticed that I am being made to look pretty illiterate due to a combination of no proofreading and autocorrect on my phone or iPad just being ridiculous. I am, on the whole, someone with a slight grasp on the English language, despite evidence to the contrary. Sorry for all the jibberish! So... Wednesday. Plans really got changed around and Patty and I ended up having a very relaxing laid back kind of a day. We had a good float around in the pool... Until thunder in the distance convinced us to head indoors and do productive things. It didn't actually rain at all.. I guess it was just natures way of us get on With our day! Unfortunately for my bank account and baggage weight limits.. The productive ... read more

Hi everyone, I realize I was supposed to write this weeks ago, but we have been soooo busy. So much to do. March in Clermont was really nice. We did get to visit with our friends, Val & Dwight. They took us on their boat and through the canals - I love it, it is always enjoyable and so pretty! We also got to visit with our friends Cory and Sandy - we met them at Brimfield and used to enjoy seeing them there - but they are no longer setting up there. They are 'snowbirds' also and luckily, they are not too far from us when we stay in Clermont. The weather in Clermont, in March, was mostly around 70 degrees. We were able to 'set up' at a flea-market, in Webster Fl, not too ... read more

The One About Campers Really are Great People! Growl. The ants are back, or they never left, and a new group has hatched. Not as bad as previously, but they keep showing their ugly little selves. One night they were all over my dinette table and Winston’s water bowl. The next afternoon they were in/on/around the garbage can. I keep spraying with my borax water, which really does work and kill those it comes in contact with immediately, but a few must escape and move on to a new place they haven’t been before. The stove is next to the garbage can, so I sprayed in/around/under it today maybe to head them off. When the borax water dries it leaves a fine white borax grit, and the ants won’t go near it, or if they do ... read more
