Saturday Ramblings

Friday was restock the 5th wheel day with visits to Sam's, K-Mart, Florida Golf (new STL Cardinal red putter grip for me), and the grocery store. We later took Joe with us to the OTB at the Jai Alai joint for a bit of fun. Fortunately Joe has horse racing in Arkansas, and has more experience at reading the racing forms than we do. After losing most of the races they bet on, Joe and Mark finally won the last two before we left. A cheap evening's entertainment, and a wonderful place to people watch.

We received several phone calls the last two days describing the latest snowfall at home. We especially enjoyed the picture we got showing us the snow that Michael's "buddies" had stacked up in front of his garage so he couldn't get in. Gee, with friends like that ....

While the weather in STL is frightful, Orange Lake, FL is delightful:
Since we are missing Bob & Jen's wedding and reception today, we decided to celebrate their wedding day by taking a dip in the pool.

We had to say goodbye to a couple we've come to enjoy down here, Mo and Dick. They have the same 5th wheel that we do, only a year older than ours. Their's comes with an extra though - someone who just loves to visit us - Lacy:


Another friendly four-legged friend in the park is Sinjin. She's a 140 lb. Mastiff - and she's in a 5th wheel smaller than ours. I can't even imagine. Sinjin's owner sounds exactly like my Uncle Jim, and even looks like him.

After visiting others in the park, four loads of laundry (I had Mark's help today; no balancing act), and BBQ burgers at 8:30 tonight, we decided to walk to the main hall to listen to the "Singalong With Mary and Terri." We now know that we have not missed one single thing by missing the last four Saturday evening singalongs. We have to find some decent entertainment!
