We are finally here at Tropical Palms! Yippee! Hooray! Hallelujah! What a great day. I’m sure you are all glad to be here safe and sound, also. Lulu kissed the ground when we stopped to register at the office. Three Cheers....We’re Here! Our day started out similar to all the others. Left Wildwood Campground at 9:22 AM. We belong to a group on Facebook for Tiffin (make of our RV) owners. I posted the photo of our missing heater door. So many responses. Most of them had the same thing happen to them. Gave us good suggestions. It’s a great site with very helpful comments on everything Tiffin. ANYWAY.....one person on the FB site asked if we were at Wildwood last night because they saw a Tiffin RV with a missing door on its side. Yep....it ... read more

Monday, April 16th, was Sam & Sandy’s 58th Anniversary. Now that’s really something to celebrate! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to our dear friends. They invited us to join them for their celebratory meal. The restaurant de choix was The Cheesecake Factory....oh, yes! We reflected back a few years (2015) to the bet we lost over the Super Bowl with Sam. Cory and I had to dress up as limo drivers and hung a sign in our car window that read “Limo”. We escorted this winning couple to this same Cheesecake Factory. Here we guided them inside.....announcing the Foreman’s were present and no picture taking was allowed....and no looking at them either! Hah...of course, everyone was starring at them trying to figure out what famous people were amongst them. It was too funny. We played it up ... read more

Fifty- four and still going strong. That's the gist of our "blog du jour". Today we celebrate....Cory & me....but please join with us on this special day that has taken us 54 years to reach. It's our 54rd anniversary. Wowhee! Holy smoke - where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday when Cory tossed his autographed baked roll at me across the college cafeteria. What a cool move. It caught my attention and my chest. I am no baseball catcher, especially when something flies out of the air unexpectedly. Nobody had ever thrown a roll at me before ....especially a signed one. I had to find out who was behind this temptatious toss. Oooooo - I saw him at the other end of the dining room....cute, very cute! No room left to write back ... read more

A bittersweet day today, folks. First, Cory (son) took Rachael to the airport early this morning. She flies back to college and her work in Alabama. Then, Cory and his family left Topical Palms and headed to Vero Beach for a couple days before taking the very long jaunt back to New York. The time we had together was wonderful but way too brief. We did get the chance to finally sing Happy Birthday to the 3 birthday boys. As we sang, I thought of Stan with all the birthday songs he had sung to him. Many, many, many. And he wanted even more! Next year, Stan. We shall miss our family but will reunite with Cory back in NY once we head home. Lulu has been sobbing all day. We went up to the lobby ... read more

Happy Easter to all our dear family and friends. Excuse any typing errors. I’m doing this cock-eyed! Wednesday, the 28th, I had my first cataract removed. Yikes! It went terrible! Sooooo bad! My eye actually fell out of the socket, fell onto the floor and the doctor stepped on it. They had to replace it with a pig’s eye! It’s not pretty at all and I can only see mud and slop through it! April Fool’s!!! Hah, Hah! Really... Everything went very well. Hah, Hah! We had to travel over to Rt.27 and go to an Ambulatory Surgery Unit in Davenport, Florida. I had to be there at 6:30 A.M. Cory wasn’t sure what the traffic would be like and we didn’t want to encounter any issues so we left here (TP) at 5:30 AM. Yes, ... read more
