Oh, What a Beautiful Day!

Today is one of those days that entices people to come to Florida for the winter. This morning was a bit nippy at 42 but by lunchtime it was about 70 with sunshine galore. It's pleasant to open the windows and not have heat or air conditioner motors running.

There was a big drive-way sale here in our RV park so I got up at the crack of 8:00 a.m. (what a shock to my retired body's schedule) in order to go shopping. Ed slept (his chemo yesterday went fine but he's usually lethargic for a few days afterwards) and I didn't bother him. I covered every street (there are 340 RV's here) so got some good exercise and spent a grand total of $2.50! Ed had been looking for some small white Correlle saucers and Wal-Mart doesn't have them. I found 4 for a buck - can't beat that, huh? (Beth, you would have enjoyed it.)

This afternoon we visited our neighbors across the street, Rod and Betty. They're from Vermont and are hobby photographers who do nature photos, especially birds and flowers. They've been all over the world taking photos including Antarctica, Norway, Africa, and especially enjoyed the polar bears in the Arctic. I hope to see some more of their pictures and we plan to go out to eat together soon. This year is their 50th anniversary and they gave each other a new fifth-wheel. They plan to take a trip to Nova Scotia this summer, following the route they took on their honeymoon.

Ed sat in the sun and read part of the afternoon. Now he's taking another wee nap and I'm just enjoying being here, listening to a few birds. I can't get over how quiet it is and there are 2 reasons for that........first, this is a 55+ park and secondly, we have double-paned windows in the RV. It's a tough life but somebody has to do it, right?!!

It was way too cold here today to go "yard saling!" Glad you found a treasure.
