You don't have to venture far within our park to have a fun time....... "in the old town tonight". And most of the time it takes no purpose or planning. Just friends getting together. While here in Florida, I cannot whine about having to cook. Not even a squeak. We go out to eat most of the time. Great! And there are so many delicious diners to explore and indulge. Not so great for the waist line, hips, belly, etc., but great for not having to cook....yippee. I used to like to cook but after so many years of doing it, I'm sick of it. One reason I love cruises so much: they serve me, they feed me......oh, happy me. I kind of feel like a hypocrite wearing my big, black Fitbit band. But let's move ... read more

Tropical Palms is never lacking for fun things to do. The date on your calendar should read January 19th now. We're getting there. Soon, very soon, we will all be on the same page. We are going to a Sock Hop tonight so get out your poodle skirts, saddle shoes and tie your hair back into a pony tail. Since my hair can't even be pulled back into a stub, I decided it needed a good trimming. We drove to a Fantastic Sams and let the beautician do her magic on me. Even David Copperfield would be challenged. I had a body perm in mid December hoping it would give me some style for awhile. Nope! I'm hopeless. It was too long on top so it dragged what hair I have down like a sloppy, messy ... read more

Still back tracking. Hope you don't mind going in reverse. Except there is a good saying:"Don't Look Back...You Are Not Going That Way". We just have to deal with it a few more times. I know you are all flexible and able to go with the flow. It's January 15th now. My cousins, Paul & Clare, are leaving us... for awhile. We'll miss them. Their plan is to travel to Daytona Beach, drive down the east coast and end up at Key West. Then they will travel back up the west coast and return here to us @ January 24th. They are adventurous souls so will sleep in their tent and sleeping bags at times. This is when I commented, as they would pull their ritzy corvette next to their little tent, "what's wrong with this ... read more

That's how our day began...actually it was last night but pay-up time was today. After gorging ourselves at Manny's (last eve) plus sipping the gallon of whiskey they brought me, we made our way back to RV land. Cory and Sam had their plans made: watching some big football game. Fine....Sandy and I can finish up our chatter (the acoustics at Manny's does leave a bit to be desired: Huh? WHAT?). I couldn't hear a thing you all said and couldn't read your lips either. Probably why I got so loud and acted out a tad. Not me: it was Candy. After our chatter session, we got on our IPads and were lost in Internet Land. To make the game even more thrilling, the guys decided to do a wager. Winner chooses his team and then ... read more

Their Princess cruise ship docked back in Ft. Lauderdale today. Yahoo! We have anxiously awaited the return of Sam and Sandy back to their RV at Tropical Palms. They, on the other hand, have been sailing the high seas. Living the high life. They have been enjoying exquisite food, fantastic entertainment, exciting island adventures, warm, sunny weather, luxury balcony stateroom plus time together with their good friends, Ed & Bev. They had nary a thought back here at trailer town. We continued to count the days for their return while they just counted the moments in between all their fun and frolic. Lulu kept calling out: Sam, Sandy when are you coming to see me? We felt we needed to do something special to welcome their return. Blaine texted Sandy this morning after 9:00 and found ... read more
