Florida

Thursday and Friday 1-30/1-31 are what Brad refers to as 'shelter in place' days.  It's been cool, not cold, but cool, gray and rainy.  It just makes for some ugly damp weather.  We did manage to get out Thursday to the local hardware store where Brad bought the stuff to make a clothes rack to hang off the RV ladder.  Then we stopped at a local restaurant for an early dinner (pretty good food).  Friday we headed up to the Alliance RV to get the light bulbs we ordered, only to find out they were hung up in Atlanta by the winter storms.  After that we stopped at the Publix grocery store for something to go with the meat in the crock pot, but our selection ended up not being that great.  Back home, have dinner, watch Bones and a lazy evening at home.....it is still raining, but the temperature is climbing. 

 

Laundry Rack

Saturday started out gray and rainy, but as the day progressed it just remained gray.  The rain quit, so we headed outside to build a clothes line rack.  It took us a couple of hours, but mission accomplished, and it is pretty sturdy.  We were planning on dinner with the Lucero's, but Len and Chris P. Bacon had a film crew at the house and then the vet calls took over.  Dinner got postponed, hopefully lunch on Sunday.  We just had chicken on the grill and enjoyed the weather getting nicer.

Sunday morning I did a load of laundry and hung it on my new wash rack then we got ready for lunch.  Brad had talked with Len, in between his vet calls, and scheduled lunch for 1:00 at Sonny's BBQ Pit.  Well it ended up just being 4 of us, Shawna was home sick, but we had a nice lunch with Len and Gabe, it was good to see them.  We were on the way home to get Rudy for his "operation" when Dr. Len called.... he had an emergency call, Rudy gets to remain a boy for two more days. We hung out at the house had dinner on the grill and just relaxed enjoying the warmer weather.

 

Mt Dora

Monday another load of laundry hung out, grocery shopping done and cleaned up and ready to go.  We headed out for the afternoon to a little town called Mt. Dora, full of antique and craft shops, oh and I can't forget the candy shop.  We walked around there until about 5:30, as all the shops were closing, then found a little restaurant for dinner, it was a nice time.  After dinner we window shopped for a while then did a little drive around town before we headed out.  We have since decided that we have to head back another day, since there is a lot of shops I didn't get to walk through.   Back home, tend to Rudy and little TV and off to bed. 



 

Today was Rudy's day, off to see Dr. Len, and while there he implanted a chip, no losing Rudy now.  After dropping him off we went out of breakfast, then headed home to pay bills and take care of some things that needed done.  We needed some legal sized paper to print out some documents (and yes it had to be legal sized), first Shari didn't have any, none at the office here at the CG.  Off to Winn Dixie, none, CVS, none Wal-Mart none....now what.  Believe it or not, I actually found somebody at Wal-Mart that could help me and found a box of paper in back....yea. Back home, print out the documents, sign and get ready to send off.  This time Brad headed out to the post office then stopped at the vets office to see about getting Rudy a cone to keep him from licking his stitches.  Well they had one, but Rudy was having nothing to do with it, we were afraid he would hurt himself trying to get it off. so off with the cone.  I managed to get a little painting done, made spaghetti for dinner and then headed up to play bingo, leaving the mess in the kitchen for Brad.  I didn't win, but I sat with a fun group of people and had a good time.  Back to the RV, a glass of wine, a little TV, finishing the blog and now it's time for bed.
