Sunsets here looking out across the golf course gives you the feeling you are on the Serengeti Plain and although they are not across water they have a beauty all their own.

PS : adding this recipe for those who requested it: enjoy
OREO SNOWBALLS:
1 pkg (18 oz I used 14oz) oreo cookies with white filling-finely crushed
1-8 oz pkg philly cream cheese softened
1-lb white chocolate (Melted)
I crushed the cookies in a large zip lock bag with a rolling pin first. Then added it to the cream cheese and hand stirred with a fork to mix well (I chopped up the philly into little pieces first)..I then blended on low with my beaters until well mixed. I left the batter/dough in the bowl and put in fridge for an hr. Then made approx 1" balls. Onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and back into the fridge for another hour. Then just melted the white chocolate in the microwave and dipped the balls..back onto a cookie sheet and into the fridge to set..after setting I popped them into a tupperware container in the fridge. Very rich...but good...
The Glades looks wonderful. We had temps close to freezing overnight. Did you? The day was warm, but the wind bit right through our sweaters in the shade.
ReplyDeleteno we didn't get to freezing I think our lowest was mid to upper 40s...the day was warm today but a bit windy we did need a hoodie..
DeleteLooking at all this warmth is making me sick...hehe.
ReplyDeleteOreo snowballs...YUMMMMMY! I think I need that recipe.

Good job on the blog Rick...your pushing me out I think :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very beautiful campground. Wish I was somewhere sunny and warm!
ReplyDeleteah but someone has to be the 'bingo caller' Jill :)
DeleteSnowballs look yummy, wish I could eat them! Lovely park. I could use some sunny warm weather after our snowstorm.
ReplyDeletewish you were here too Sandra...and wish you could eat the snowballs too...
DeleteThanks for the snowball recipe. It looks really good. Nice that Rick is giving you a break from blogging, Elaine. Sure wish my Rick would do that once in awhile :) I'm not holding my breath!
ReplyDeleteI think we're both now in competition as to who can bang out the blog before the other..maybe now we'll stay updated on here lol-enjoy the recipe
DeleteNow, now Elaine, Rick had to step up while you were making those Oreo snowballs. That is much more important!
ReplyDeletefor sure Paul for sure...
DeleteProbably won't take long for another gator to move in! We had a cooler day here today in Winter Haven, but it is looking up as we head to Christmas! Which, I hope is a Merry one for you all!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there will be another in a matter of days..its warming up nicely today
DeleteYum! I love oreos, that recipe sounds great.
ReplyDeleteeasy to make...they don't taste good with beer tho..lol
DeleteBeautiful looking park.
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can get the chief cook to rustle up a few of those oreo snowballs.
you won't be sorry :) they are pretty rich tho..but you sound like my Rick who is a cookie monster so you may not find them too rich..
DeleteI always feel bad for the gators when they "remove" them, as it doesn't end well for them. Too many people feed gators, which is against the law, and they lose their fear of man and have to be removed.
ReplyDeleteI do too...I don't think anyone feeds him here..but he was sunning himself in someones rubber raft boat that was tied up beside their big one...
DeleteElaine...Thanks so much for the recipe. This is way sooooo easy. I think I can actually make them...hehe. I want to give it a try when we get to Mission, TX. What a wonderful little gift this will make.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance and don't mind, please send me your email address. So many times I wanted to send you a comment to a comment you have left on our blog but don't have your email address. If you don't feel comfortable giving it out, that is fine too. Please just know, we really appreciate your comments.
Sent you an email Marsha :) and theres also an email button here on the blog..the big blue envelope at the top left :)
DeleteSuch a beautiful area there. And those snowballs sound awesome! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeletethey are pretty awesome..rich tho-yes we love our park
DeleteBeautiful photos of your RV park. The golf course sure looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Oreo snowballs? Have to get my kitchen chef to add this recipe to her arsenal.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
it is a beautiful resort...we have yet to try out the course maybe first of the year...good luck getting your chef to make the snowballs..:)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteStumbled across your blog through some other RV/travel blogs. I've had those cookies before, but didn't know what they were called. Thanks for the recipe - Will be making up some little plates tomorrow for the 20-something boys (or should I say young men) in the family who are hard to buy for!
