Still on the Run and Enjoying Every Day!!

Ever wonder when your at 'home' and having hitch itch why the time seems to 'drag' until departure day? Now that we're here and parked in the sunny south, I cannot figure out where the time is going. We have been here 3 months and it only seems like a week to me. We have been having a great winter..the weather is fantastic, the resort is fantastic, and the folks around us are fantastic, what more could we ask for. Seems every day is filled with fun. It will be hard when the time comes to head back up north.
We have been keeping busy with resort activities, and made a few trips down to Fort Myers, and Lehigh Acres to visit friends. Rick is golfing and loving it, who knew! He used to think it a senseless game of hit the ball and walk around looking for it..he could never figure out why anyone would want to do that...he is now definitely converted and loving it. I even purchased him a new set of clubs and bag as an early valentines present.
Heading to the course

Dave, Archie, Rick and Cal
We have been busy socializing. We had a lamplight supper with the neighbours the other night under our awning. And of course 'happy hour' has become a daily feature.
Ready for supper

Cal, Archie, Anne and Rick, Cheryl Deb and I were there somewhere
This morning we awoke to our first drizzly day, and the temps are only suppose to get up to mid 70s. Maybe that is my cue to have an indoor day cleaning around the coach. Dear friends Tommy and Dottie are leaving tomorrow to motor on, they have been here a month and we will sure miss them. Rick, Cal and Tommy got Debbie's other set of stairs constructed and into place last evening. I'm still busy constructing myself, with the beading and jewellery after the sun goes down, while watching tv. We are making a list and checking it twice of things we want to see and do before our time is up here. We will definitely make the time. I want to see the Ford and Edison houses, and Sanibel Island and of course the fort myers beach. We also plan to get a run up to big O and see our friends Larry and Marilyn. They are going to join us here early in March for a week :)...Rick wants to tour Everglade City also. So we have a few things to add to our already busy schedule.
I just popped a meatloaf into the oven for supper...so now its off to bean bag baseball in a couple of hours. The sun is now out and the temps are rising. The handsome boy is still watching me from next door..what a dear boy he is.
I love my Auntie Elaine and Uncle Rick

I have been busy catching up on all my blog reading. Paul and Marsha sure had a close call ..I know the feeling well. And Karen and Steve have not stopped for a minute getting their new home all set up..Contessa and Colin are so enjoying their little piece of heaven..Karen and Al are getting up really early to provide us all with magnificent morning shots..glad to see sassy is feeling better..and Sherry and David are enjoying each and every day..thats what we are all suppose to do while living this lifestyle...take care all and be safe out there..

  2. Wow, is that Rick a lucky guy or what. That is a pretty nice Valentine's gift. I can't wait to see what he has in store for you Elaine.

    Thanks for the shout out. Everything is fine now.

    You better at about three more months to your time there if you think you're going to see all those places.

  6. Golf eh! Not my game, I'd rather join the army, but it does seem to snare a lot of outwardly looking normal folks. Next thing you know he will be wearing coral coloured polo shirts and yellow slacks with saddle shoes and thinking he's styling. Oh well, they tell me it isn't fatal or anything anyways. :)

  15. Rick looks like a real golf pro in that picture, glad he is enjoying the game. We are the same, we just can't believe how fast the time has gone and we are already thinking about what the summer will bring. Have fun checking off those "to do" items on your list, that's the kind of "to do" list you don't mind having.

  18. Yes, one more golfing convert! Bring them on!

    You guys win the Academy Award for the most enthusiastic RV party'ers. By the time you get back home in NB, you will need to round up the neighbours and convert them to living the fun life. Hmmmm, you may long ago have done that eh?
