Sunny Florida


We are adjusting to the Florida lifestyle. It really doesn't take much to get use to it though...just set back and enjoy it.

We have tired some of the activities this week. Monday, Jack and I went down to shuffleboard. We have played it before but we have never learned the rules and how to keep score, etc. So we went to learn the basics. It was fun. They have a group probably 20 -22 people who play most of the time. There were about 6 - 8 new people so we had a good time. But the deal is you play for about 2 hours or so - so you spent the morning which worked out fine. I have been going on Tuesdays and Fridays to Tai Chi which I'm liking real well. It is a fun exercise and not too hard on you!! On Tuesday afternoons they have line dancing which is always fun. I have tried the water aerobics - they have three times a week. The pool is nice.

Here are a couple of pictures Jack took of the front entrance of the park. It seems to be well taken care of and landscaped nice.



The weather the first part of the week has been really warm - in low the 80s - but a front came through on Wednesday and it has been much nicer. It has been a little cooler - low 70s - and the humidity is lower. Can't ask for more than that!!

Jack has been fishing a few times but hasn't had a lot of luck. He has caught a few little ones but nothing to talk about but he is enjoying having a lake right on the property. Here is a picture I took this a.m.

Tomorrow we are going to drive to Ft. Myers to the flea market. It sounds like it is similar to the one we went to in Arizona last year at Mesa. I'll let you know how we like it.

The park is getting fuller. Still have empty sites but each day we get new people into their sites. Yesterday a couple from Canada moved in and they are going to be here about as long as we are.

Enjoy your weekend!

Don is so jealous of Jack and that gorgeous lake to fish in... and here we are in the DESERT. lol I'm so proud of ya'll doing all the activities. It's still too cool here for me to be getting in and out of a pool at 9:00 in the morning. I know the pool is heated, but I still have to get out of it... wish they'd have the aerobics class later in the day.
Don't spend too much money at the flea market!
