Black Friday

I helped the merchants to get into the "black" today.  We went to Brooksville, spent a couple hours at Kohl s and an hour at Target.  In-between stores we stopped at Dunkin' Donuts for a refuel of coffee and donuts.  Ate a late lunch at Chick-fil-a.  My legs were hurting in the evening.  I got a lot of shopping down but not all.

Thanksgiving Day

We went to Cracker Barrow for our usual Thanksgiving turkey meal.  It was good as usual, we brought home a plate for "leftovers" for the evening.  Later we called to wish our daughters Happy Thanksgiving and also Lisa and Jay and families at Jay's house.

It was a nice relaxing day!

Rain Rain go away

The day was SO hot and humid that we could hardly stand being outside.  It was one of those days Minnesotans would predict a bad storm for sure.  We went to Brooksville to do a little shopping and did very little stores were so crowded.  I may be doing the bulk of my Christmas shopping online.  We had lunch at Panearas, hadn't been there for a long time.

There were tornado warnings for the afternoon until 10 PM, but we didn't get much until after 10.  There was a thunderstorm with a lot of rain and it kept raining and raining.

No breakfast

We had breakfast but not at the clubhouse as usual on Saturday.  They had propane problems, the stove uses propane.  So we ate at home.

Later we ate dinner at Beef O'Brady's and picked up the Red Box movie "The Internship" which we enjoyed.

Humidity

There is so much humidity that for the first time here mushrooms are growing in our yard.  I don't know about mushrooms, but I doubt any are magic!

We went to dinner tonight at Cracker Barrow, good as always.  Slow day which which was OK.

Where were you?

50 years ago today I was a senior at Belle Fourche High School.  Lunch time and I went out to my car to drive home, turned on the radio.  Usually there was music at this time but someone was talking, it wasn't until I got out of the parking lot that I realized what they were saying was that President Kennedy had been shot.  There weren't saying he was dead, just that he had been shot.  We turned on TV at home when it was announced that he was dead.  I took my "transistor" radio to school, we listened to the news all afternoon.

Kennedy was the first president that had caught my interest, he was young and almost like a Hollywood star. I felt the tragedy as if it was a personal friend that had died.

Sumter Oaks 12th Anniversary

There was a good roast beef dinner at the clubhouse followed by entertainment.  The entertainment was a woman who impersonated a number of famous singers like Dolly, Char, Chero, etc.  It was good if not a little long.  She had a friend of ousr get up to be Sonny to her Char, that was really funny.  All he had to say was "I got you babe" but he managed to goof it up!

All this was to celebrate 12 years since Escapees took over the RV park.

Quick trip turned long trip

We went out for breakfast and then Walmart for "a couple things".  Then a stop at the post office and to get Don's prescription.  The prescription part took 40 minutes while I waited in the hot car.  I finally called him and gave him the choice - come back later OR I would go home and come and get him later.  Somehow that hurried up the process and he was out in a minute.

Today has been the poster day for humidity.  It was 94% this afternoon but for some reason I was banned from turning on the AC.  Finally I gave another choice - turn it on or be put up with my foul mood.  It just took a few minutes and it was already feeling better inside.

I had to think cool ----

To Tampa and beyond

We went to Tampa today, ate at Sweet Tomatoes of course.  Then it was a quick stop at Lazy Days RV and on to Camping World.  Finally we loaded up on fresh vegetables at Parksdale Farms.  A good trip and good to get out of our park.

Sunday

We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel and in the afternoon went to the ice cream social at the clubhouse.  Read our two Sunday papers and talked to our daughters.  It was a good day other than the humidity.

Our hearts go out to the people in the middle of the nation who lost everything in the weekend storms.

Eating out = again

We went to the clubhouse for good French toast this morning and to our favorite (in Florida) Chinese place to bring home dinner.  A hot and humid day!!!!

,Yes

Rain, Rain

It rained most of the day which made a humid day even more humid.  Guess we needed the rain---

We went to Denny's for dinner, this is an unusual Denny's as the food and service are usually so much better than other Denny's.  BUT tonight they must have had their replacements working - the food was good but service lacked.

Walmart and dinner at the RV park

We made the mistake of going to Walmart at noon, all the crazies were out in force.  To add to the problems two people were loading shelves and totally blocked a main aisle.  Could they have not done so at a different time?  Maybe it is a plot to get me to shop elsewhere.  Then I was looking for soda crackers and could not find them anywhere, turns out they are in a side area with the detergent, makes so much sense.  There is one aisle completely devoted to Christmas candy so they had to delegate to crackers to detergent.

In the evening we went to dinner at the clubhouse, they had King Ranch Chicken.  I liked the meal but some people thought it was too spicey.  The same people who need to add some spice to their lives.

11-12-13

People are getting married today 11-12-13 in masses because this day just come around once.  I thought every day just came around once.

We went to Brooksville to do some shopping and to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

Up north

just 30 miles to Wildwood for dinner at Steak 'n Shake.  Good as always.  We rented the movie Django Unchained and enjoyed it more than we thought we would.  It was funny but really dark in places.  Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio

Fabulous weather

What a nice day - we have to prepay for the nice days.  We get one or two after several days of high heat and humidity.  We sat outside all afternoon reading, etc.  Only problem was one neighbor decided we all wanted to listen to their bad music.  I dug out a CD and put it in the outside player which was probably the first time it had been used, turned up the volume to drown out the other music.  Shortly someone asked the neighbors to turn down their music, so I turned down ours.  Why is it that some people have no respect for their neighbors?

Busy day - for us!

We went to Clermont to the Escapees monthly meeting at Golden Corral.  Don and I cut out as soon as the meeting portion (after lunch) was done to head to the theater in Clermont.  We went to Gravity 3D.  As we were waiting for the show to start a couple we know walked in - we never see anyone we know at a show!  We enjoyed the show, lots of tense minutes.  Glad it wasn't any longer.  Now I know where they got the name Gravity form in the last few minutes.

After the show Don insisted we get our annual Flu shots.  We had to wait awhile, but that is done.  I ended up with a sore arm in the evening and had to put on ice.

Following the show I did a little shopping and we returned home getting a Subway on the way for dinner.

Walmart again

Had to go to Walmart again today, it's getting to be a bad habit.  Our gas grill fell apart yesterday from overuse.  Thankfully they had a replacement!  Of course we needed more groceries.  We went to McDonald's for breakfast and found a good time to visit Walmart is early before the crazys arrive.  Good conversations at coffee today - on topic was the about the white football player that used the "n" word.  We all agreed that if Paula Deen was burned at the stake for using that word years ago the football player should get fired as well.  But we all know a football player is much more important to the world than a cook.

Sunday breakfast out

We went to Cracker Barrow for a good breakfast and then we came home and read the two Sunday newspapers we get.  I talked to our daughters in the evening.

Dinner out with 46 of my closest friends

We went to dinner at Beef O'Brady's with a crowd of people from our RV park.  It was fun and good food.  Usually not so many people come but perhaps because this was the first eating out of the season, lots showed up.

In the morning we had a fine waffle breakfast at the clubhouse!

11113

First of November!  After coffee at the clubhouse, including solving the world problems - we went to Walmart for groceries.  It was so busy it drives me crazy but we needed some things.  We had lunch at the very busy McDonalds.  The rest of the day we stayed home away from the crowds.

Aloha Friday!  One of my favorite places----
