We are presently waiting the arrival of our family: Lory, Jay, Sara Knapp and her girlfriend....name to be announced when I learn it. I think they left Elmira, NY @ noon.....coming into Sanford, Florida airport. Getting a rental car and driving here to Regal Oaks....a nice condo/apartment resort right next door to our RV park. We can easily walk back and forth. We can hardly wait for them to get here. It's been months since we have seen them. They will be HOT stuff when they hit Florida. Record breaking heat to happen today. Cory said it reads 102 on our outside thermometer. He's going to the pool! Welcome to Florida, the Sunshine State. Yesterday, our goal was to go to Bar Harbor for lunch. Delicious once again. I am so going to miss my lobster ... read more

In between going to the Disneyworld Parks, we have also gone here and there......and yonder. So let's catch up with where and what we have been doing...okay, gang? Get comfy. Tropical Palms hosted another block party. Remember the first block party we went to this year hosted by Glenn & Joyce? With a sad heart, I must share with you that since their party, they were in a horrible motorcycle accident. Glenn was killed and Joyce was injured. Our park was in shock. Glenn has always been a familiar face in this park. He was known as The Music Man because he played his taped tunes at various gathering. He will be deeply missed as our sympathy goes out to Joyce and her family. The staff at TP worked very hard to make this latest block ... read more

Not too sure what fun and frolic we will find back at home but while here in Florida, we are surely enjoying the festivities and all our friends. Hope you are still here with us to join in the merriment. A week or so ago, a great block party was hosted by Glen & Joyce here at Tropical Palms. They live in one of the Sandcastles and part of their roadway was blocked off for this party. Glen played his DJ music. Folks brought a dish to pass and the crowd gathered for a good time. And that it was! Great food, Great music, Great fun and Great friends. Even Lulu went to the party. Even though she can't dance well (no legs), she knows how to eat and chowed down on all the goodies. Little ... read more

It's getting more and more difficult keeping up with all of you. You are on the go way too much. Last Friday night, we met at the betting windows to place bets on our race horses. We did this last year....do you all remember the exciting Horses Races held at Tropical Palms? Our friend, Joe Rossi and his team, work very hard to provide all of us one of the very best entertainment evenings held here at the park. Thanks, Joe and team. Prior to this wild night, we all got a picture of "our horse" that we colored and named. Mine was Lucky Lulu and Cory's was Hard Six. They both were prancing at the gate. Joe is able to have actual horse races that he shows on the big TV's. Everyone's horse has its ... read more

Busy Days, Spending Days, Fun days. We are really having a great time in this neck of the woods (vs.palm trees). We hope you are, also. So far you haven't had to spend a cent on this expedition so the price is really right for you. Martin Luther King is a BIG day at the huge Webster Flea Market. President's Day is another biggy. Sam & Sandy headed out before us to reach this collectors' Mecca. We were the tail masters following behind by about a half hour. We aren't buying anymore so it is just fun to look and talk about those items we would have bought in the past and where we could sell it for a profit. Pssst- We need to stick together cause this place is really enormous....if you wander off, we ... read more
