Good Morning everyone, sorry that I have not posted anything lately, I have been busy with my grandchildren.  Today is moving day, moving from Ocala, FL to Lu Lu, FL.  We have been at our son Joe's house for the last week:

                                       Here is Dave getting things ready outside to travel

I will try to catch you up on our days as soon as I can.  We are heading to Lu Lu, FL to visit with my sister for a couple of days and then on Sunday we will be heading to Bainbridge, GA, so Dave can do some fishing, hopefully.

Remember................keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart.....

February 7, 2013 (Thursday)
59 degrees (a.m.) 79 degrees (high)

Well, we are staying home today to rest and sit outside and read and enjoy the beautiful weather.  On Tuesday we drove to Zephyhills, FL to meet some dear friends of ours, Doug and RayaSue, Doug was our former Pastor at Haines City UMC years ago.  We had a great time visiting and catching up. 

Wednesday, I walked in the morning and then Dave and I rode our bikes.  I started a pot of chili in the crock pot for the Pot Luck Supper this evening at the Club House, I also made a Pumpkin Crunch to take.  After the Pot Luck we enjoyed a concert by George Hamilton IV, the Country Music Singer, it was his 53rd anniversary of him joining the Grand Ole Opry that day.  We all had a great time.  You might remember the song "Abilene" well that is one of George Hamilton IV's song.

I have enjoyed this campground, we have had a great site and met some new people and seen some of the others that we have met at other campgrounds.  Oh, I finished reading the last book in the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley  "Reunion" and let me tell you.................it was a great series, but I thought the last one was going to do me in....................for the ones that know me, they know what I mean............................for goodness sakes I cry at Hallmark commercials.  :)  I recommend the series to everyone.  Gotta go and see what else I can get into.     lol

37 degrees (a.m.) 68 degrees (high)

Wow, I thought I would be able to post to this blog each day, however, that has not happened for a while.  I guess we have been so busy doing nothing that I just haven't found the time to write on here.  Well, I say doing nothing, that is not entirely true, we have been staying busy with reading, riding bikes and I have been joining the "walkers" here in the campground and the weather has been good for me any way.  Our temperatures have been as low as 36 degrees and averaging 65-78 some days and then some days have been into the 80's.

Dave has been enjoying his new 5-1 Griddler:


                             You can use it as a griddle or grill (picture shows one of each plate)

                  I have been enjoying my new clothes spinner and washer..........................love them.
Clothes Spinner

                                                                                                  Washer

I can do small loads each day, if I want.  I love hanging the clothes outside (love the smell) and it
also saves us money. 

We have been talking to a lot of the other campers and going to Jam Sessions and Church here at the campground.  Joe, Sophia, Shelly, Bethany and Riley came over this past Saturday and spent the day with us.  We grilled hot dogs on the new grill and we played  mini golf and we went to the Clubhouse for a "Build your own Sundae" and then we sat outside for a while.


















Then we drove to Brownwood in The Villages, Joe & Sophia had not been there yet and Sophia wanted to take some pictures.  We walked around and we also went inside the movie theater, wow what a place:
Inside the Theater




                                         This water fountain you can fill up your water bottles

                                                                    We had a great day. 

So, see we have been busy and relaxing and just enjoying life.  Hope you have been doing the same.  Well, that is enough for now, so until the next time....................whenever that is........
keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
