Sumterville FL

Saturday was a 'get settled day'.  We went to Wal-Mart in the AM to get some things we needed, then headed home.  Brad headed over to the Lucero's to pick up the part we ordered for the RV.  Back home, put that in (propane tank gauge), then we put away some of our very heavy clothes (under the RV storage), and Brad washed the car.   We were going to go out for dinner, but decided to stay in and have pork chops instead.  Not a bad day, we had a dis-organized departure leaving the cold, and are  slowly getting things organized.
 
Sunday morning we headed over to the O'Donnells for breakfast.  We visited there for about 3 hours, then had to let them get running off to their soccer games.  We went back home and did some more things around the RV, getting the awning out and staked down, getting out the lawn chairs and acting like we actually like being here.  We met the Lucero's about 5:00 at Coyote Rojo for dinner.  Gabe didn't make it, but Ashley was there (what a nice treat for Nana and Pappy) and she had her new car, a 2012 Camaro, what a nice car.
 
Monday was a day to work on the to-do list.  Brad worked on the water leak, a drip in the outside water compartment, while I actually got to go to the grocery store alone (yea).  He got the pipe connection apart, by the time I got home, then headed over to the RV store here in Bushnell to see if they had a part, no luck.  He came back home, picked me up and off to Alliance RV in Wildwood, no part, but it would be in later today or tomorrow morning.  It ended up coming in in the afternoon, but we settled on having dinner here at home and picking it up in the morning.  Brad had put the old pipe connection back in the RV so at least we have water.  Salad, steaks and garlic bread for dinner, nice ending to the day. 


Tuesday we headed out about 10:00, first stop Alliance RV to pick up our part, then off to Kohl's to return a Christmas gift, not the best experience at a Kohl's but it got done.  We stopped for lunch then decided to look for a camp ground that Tom and Bev had told us about.  We pulled out but I had us going the wrong direction, turn around heading the right way, then Brad pulls into a wine shop (very few of them in Florida).  We walked around there for a while, bought 2 bottles of wine, then on the road again.  We finally find the CG, not bad, and it just so happened to be beside a Camp World, so we had to stop in.  We made a small purchase, but I managed to keep Brad from buying a new RV.  Back home, Brad fixed the water supply, chicken on the grill and no bingo for me, I watched NCIS instead.


Wednesday we headed over to visit the O'Donnell's and introduce Rudy to their dog Lou.  Not bad, but poor Lou needs to get around more dogs, he just isn't sure how to play nicely.  We were there until Shari had to leave to start picking up kids, they are heading to the soccer play off game this afternoon.   We stopped at home, walked Rudy, then put him in his house.  We went out for lunch, stopped at the drug store, then headed over to Mt. Dora to find the soccer game.  It was a great game, a loss for the grand kids, but with a 1-0 final score, nobody should feel bad (although they all were).  We headed home, left overs for dinner and a lazy night, Brad's not feeling the greatest. 


Today 1-16, Len stopped over to check on Rudy and give him his bordetella shot, then him and Brad headed out to check on a horse Len had operated on earlier in the week.  They were gone about 2 hours, so I managed to get laundry done, rearranged some dishes and ran the sweeper through the RV, the sand just sticks to your shoes.  After Brad got back, we had some lunch, then a nap for Brad and Rudy, while I headed off to the grocery store, one more time.  I got back, put things away and Brad decided we were heading out to dinner (so much for grocery shopping).  Not a bad choice, just headed over to the little dinner down the road 'Howie's', nice meals and an early evening home.  Brad needs to take a hot shower and head to bed.
