This is our celebration! Fifty one years together.. Yoweeee. What a grand ride it has been. Who would have thought that way back when.......two foolish college kids would end up having a magnificient family of four wonderful children and 9 wonderful grandchildren. Our lives together have been very full & successful - because of the undying support provided to each other. Yes, there's always some ups and downs but that is just part of life. Fortunately, we have always had one another to move each other along through the occasional hurdle. Cory always says " Focus On What You Can Control" rather than act like a blithering zombie that perhaps I could become on a rare occasion. He is a skilled mediator......part of his job he held as the Vice President of Human Resources. As we ... read more

Time to show Dave and Linda how much we enjoy and appreciate them. Remember Dave is the fine and talented man who came to our rescue with our hot water problem in the RV. That’s a really big deal because only until you’ve lingered endlessly in an RV repair shop and paid mega bucks for labor and parts…..you would not understand what his expert service truly meant to us. And remember “Behind every good man is a good woman”. That’s Linda. She is such a sweet & gentle soul who lights up any room (or RV site) when she enters. Her smile is contagious. She is a special lady. Besides us, Dave has successfully helped many other RVer’s in this park with many, various difficulties with their RV’s. Linda says he likes the challenge. Dave says ... read more

Today we had to bid safe travels and goodbye to some of our family. All good things must come to end but….I don't like it. Al & Brittany had to get up very early to get their flight home out of the Sanford Airport. A few hours out and they were back on New York soil. It still amazes me what air transportation does: from one far part of the country to another in just a matter of a few hours. Unreal. The rest of our family gathered together for one final family meal at the Town Tavern in Celebration. Always good food here but everything is better when we are all together. The time was too brief. This was the departure location for Kim, Jim and Haley. From here, they headed to the Orlando Airport ... read more

Tropical Palms provided a wonderful Appreciation PROM Party for their long term residents (us....snowbirds and cottage owners). It was terrific. The theme was Prom Night. Most of us were limited as to what gown and stilettos to wear so we just dressed with what we had available. The food was delicious. The entertainer was fantastic: Jimmy Rogers. He has been here at TP before and always gives a great performance. He sings the '50s & '60s tunes as well as imitating some of the famous singers of that era. He is so good! The toes were tapping tonight. Lulu was miffed cause she couldn't attend.....she had no outfit to wear. Her darling dress was way too long. She'll get over it.....her day will come. Right now, she's moping. Tisk, Tisk, Tisk. This party, final one for ... read more

Rain, Rain Go Away.....We Want to Party Everyday. That was our song a couple weeks ago. When it rains in Florida...it really rains! Cats & Dogs, Torrents, Major Downpours, Pelters, Soakers....call it what you may. It turns us into hermits.... You don't want to be driving in these big-time cloud bursts. Just like driving in a blizzard but rather snow is all pure water. Note my two photos of the raindrops from inside our RV. Help....we are drowning. Blub, Blub, Blub. By the next day, all is forgotten. The sun came out and the temperature climbed. Yippee! I think Mother Nature is bi-polar. The weather can change so dramatically here. Somedays I am bundled up like we are heading home to the frigid North....other days I am peeling down like the "old hot flash" days. What ... read more
