Kind of like The Last Supper (s). We gathered together last evening for a dinner with our friends, Gary, Sue and Sue’s Mom, Audrey. We didn’t travel far.....just went across the street (192) to Logan’s. The food was very good and the company was even better. Gary is the kindly soul who put our new mud flap on the back of our RV. Thank you, again, Gary. Today, our friend, John, came and helped Cory replace our kitchen sink sprayer. Our old one wouldn’t stand up anymore....it just fell over flat! Thank you so much, John. We truly appreciate your help. Gosh, if we didn’t have all these talented and kindly friends to help us out, we would probably be living in a tent or a motel. Thank you....one and all who have lent your knowledge, ... read more

Tropical Palms staff provided two appreciation parties for all of its long termer’s ......that us! Both held in the same week. Are we almost all partied out? Nope....everyone keeps going just like the Energizer Bunny. Happy Easter when it arrives soon! Our first party was called a Luau Party. Most everyone dressed in their Hawaiian shirts. Some lovely grass skirts were even seen. ?? My Little Grass Shack & Tiny Bubbles?? You can start singing now. Our dinner was wonderful. It was a pasta dinner. Hawaiian theme with Italian food. A nice mix. It was catered by a couple from Clermont. Excellent. After our meal in our gathering hall, we were relocated to the swimming pool. A nice band entertained everyone. Great for singing and dancing but no hula dancing....nope, not even one Hawaiian song. That’s ... read more

Cruise done: check Sickness over: check Life returns to normal: check Our fun begins again: check. We were thrilled to have our dear friends, Les & DeAnne McKay, come and stay with us for a few days. They used to live in our home area in New York but a couple years ago they moved to Smithfield, NC to live closer to their children. We had many fun times together. We picked them up in Maitland (new ride....never had been here - bucket list: check) and brought them back to Tropical Palms. We took them to eat at Guenter’s Bar & Grill. It was handy. A golf cart ride around the park culminated the “Happy Hours”. Just so nice being together with them again. The next day, we toured the town of Celebration and some of ... read more

Everyday is now a celebration for me. I am so glad to be well again....both Cory and I celebrate that fact. Lulu sighs with relief. It was wonderful to resume our routine and be with our friends again. I burned my isolation garb. I’m free! I’m alive! I’m well! I’m back in circulation! Hip-Hip Hooray! I love everyday. First on our agenda was to visit Costco’s and enjoy a yummy seafood lunch at Bar Harbor. Perfect! Life is good. Friends are fun! We had a serviceman come and replace the satellite dish on the roof of our RV. Our original one had become unusable. The software in it was outdated. We were now using the park’s cable or our local antenna. That was okay but if we parked where there was no cable, we would be ... read more

Since I am still not quite back to my regular, normal self...but getting close, I see I left out some important photos that should have been included with my previous blog. You understand, right? Are you feeling sorry for me? Remember I love sympathy. Plus, a loyal, blog following friend inquired about “Little Lulu”— important question. Hi Cheryl! Some of you have seen her before: small, cloth, light weight doll of the REAL Little Lulu. Of course, head strong, lovely Lulu is still the main gal. She is irreplaceable. I know you all agree on that. But her head is too fat and heavy to take on these major excursions. So, “proxy” Little Lulu fills in for her. These Lulus like each other and work together. No bickering or jealousy. Maybe a little sniveling once in ... read more

Announcement: our blog is on hold. Cory and I are both sick with the flu. I got sick Thursday into our cruise. Stayed isolated in my den of disease thru rest of it. Cory okay until we got home. Now down and out for the count. Wonder who he got it from. I’m too sick on my deathbed to give you the good, the bad and the ugly about our cruise. Lots of pictures to share. Once I’ve recovered from this devasting disease, I will start the sailing saga for all of you. Stay well and stay strong. ???? Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina!”?????... read more

You just never know who you might see up on Rt.192. Some you know, some you don’t but still worthy of a picture. The other evening, Sam, Sandy, Cory & I decided to walk up to Logan’s restaurant for supper. As we crossed the big highway (192) we passed by two homeless women who had made their camp on the short wall at the corner. How do they accumulate so much stuff? Over time, they come and go (to where?) and move all this stuff with them each time. It must look like a rolling landfill ball when they decide to relocate. Anyway, we proceeded onward to the restaurant. They have shelled peanuts for you to snack on while waiting for your meal. The shells get tossed onto the floor. Makes for a crunchy carpeting. We ... read more

And they’re off! That was the echoing call heard as the trumpets blared here at Tropical Palms last week. This annual event was organized by our friend, Joe, and his helpers. It is the 6th year for this faux horse race betting occasion. A gamblers delight. The boisterous betting crowd gathered together to cast their hefty wagers on their favorite horse. Each of us had named and highly decorated a picture of a horse to be used. Cory named his horse “Hard Six” and mine was named “Lucky Lulu”(of course). Not living up to her name, Lucky Lulu, was NOT lucky...not a winner, not a winner, not a winner. Oh, well, there’s always next year. Last year she won big. She can’t be perfect every time. Everyone had a fun time; either celebrating their play money ... read more

Two days of festivities. Are you keeping up with us? Fun for All and All For Fun. Tropical Palms (our winter home park) sponsored an Appreciation Day for all of its “long-termer’s”. That’s what we are called because of the length of the stay we do here. It used to include those who stayed here three months or more...not sure what they have as a cut off time now. Floridians call us “Snowbirds”. We just call ourselves lucky! The day began with an early morning breakfast at 8:00 AM. For some of us ( me, me, me) that is truly EARLY morning. Others rise at the crack of dawn and think nothing of it. We managed to saunter down our roadway to the meeting hall to partake in the offering. There was a huge group of ... read more

Clumping Up. Looks like I’ve let things get ahead of ourselves......or maybe behind ourselves.....whatever. Time to get everything in order and some semblance before we don’t know whether we are coming or going. Been there....done that! Haven’t we? Going - Actually, Gone. Last Saturday, we sailed off to a place we had added to the bucket list for this year. After a lengthy drive, we ended up at Yalaha. Yes, Yalaha, Florida. How many of you have been here or even heard of this place? I bet not too many. It’s a fun place to say, anyway. Ya - La- Ha. Ya - La - Ha. Ya - La - Ha. Okay, that’s enough fun! It isn’t a large metropolis by any means. Under TripAdvisor, it listed three things to see and do in Yalaha. The ... read more
