Another week in Florida

Saturday was another hang out day, nothing planned so we headed out to the local RV show.  I don't know why we go to these small ones, 2 hours of walking around and I still like mine.  I guess we're lucky there.  Dinner at home and mostly a do nothing day.
 
Sunday, we did some work around the RV, a load of laundry and a few other things, then off to the grocery store.  Burgers, hot dogs, rolls, pickles and a few other things for a cook out at the O'Donnell's this afternoon.  What a nice day it ended up being, Alice, Kevin and the boys were in Florida and came over for dinner, along with Shawna and Len.  It was a great after noon and then they headed out to visit Chris P. Bacon, while Brad, Rudy and I headed home. 
 
Monday I made a grocery list and did the grocery shopping, laundry, we made some phone call and hid out at home.  We did a lot of walking today and made some plans for tomorrow. 
 

Reminded me of Maine
Tuesday we made a trip to Cedar Key, about a 2 hour drive, but a very enjoyable place to visit.  We had lunch on the water front, after walking along the water front shops and then out on the pier after lunch.  We then headed into town parked and did a little stroll, coffee from the coffee shop and then a trip to find the beach area.  It was a little to chilly to walk along the water, but it was worth the drive to Cedar Key, an enjoyable day for us.  Oh yes, in the mean time, we took Rudy to the doggie day care, where they said he did well, but when we got there, he jumped right into the car and would not get out until we were at the RV.  Dinner was in the crock pot, then off to bingo for me and clean-up for Brad.  No money won, but I had fun. :-(

Lunch Time View on
Cedar Key
Wednesday we headed to the Cabinet store, trying to get a panel for the hole where the bed room TV was.  Brad is hoping to be able to mount a flat screen TV but need something to cove the hole first.  We then had lunch, after stopping at 2 places that weren't open, and were we did eat, well as they say, been there, done that, don't need to go back.  We picked up a flat of strawberries, dropping most of them off at Shari's and a nice visit.  After that we head home and Brad made dinner on the grill. 



Thursday was a rainy day, so I planned on going to the Villages to do some shopping.....Brad decided to go along, he just wasn't allowed to moan and groan about all the stops.  I managed to get through most of my stops, but the last one or two are on the other side of the Villages (5-6 miles, ha, ha) and he thought it was awfully far to go, since one was just a Starbucks stop.  I gave in and didn't make him do those runs. Back home, put every thing away and we just had left overs for dinner. 

Friday the weather cleared up, but it was still cool, so we decided to take a ride to Brooksville.  We  checked out another dog kennel as we are hoping to leave Rudy at one while we head out to Punta Gorda on Monday.  No luck, the place was nice, but it is spring break and they are booked full and so was the place beside them.  Back home, get cleaned up, then off to the Villages for dinner.  We are meeting the kids and there are 13 of us to seat, so Pappy and I head up an hour early to put our names on the waiting list, no reservations available.  The wait wasn't bad and we had many people to talk with, including the hostess, but in the end, there were only 11, Shawna and Gabe weren't able to join us. :-(       It ended up being a very nice dinner and it was good to see all that we did before we left.

Soccer Game
Saturday Brad got everything ready to wash the motor home, then we headed out to Wildwood to watch 3 of the O'Donnell girls play soccer, the other 2 played earlier, we just couldn't make it to their games.  After the games we headed back home, took the laundry down and Brad washed the roof of the RV, oh how dirty.  We stayed home, had burgers on the grill, and worked on what we are going to do for the trip out west.  Oh well, at this time only time will tell. 


After a tough day of
washing the RV
Sunday Brad decided to wash the rest of the RV.  I stayed out of his way and about 1:30, headed down to play bingo, no winning again, I'm beginning to think I should quit, but I do enjoy the people I sit with.  When I headed out, Brad and Rudy were there to meet me for the walk back, how nice.  Back home, clean up the mess Brad made, clean up Brad and out to dinner, I was hungry for Mexican so we went to Coyote Rojo, yea.  Back home, finished cleaning up, trash out, dishes done and so is the Blog.  Not much for excitement, but it was our week in Sumterville and I'm ready to move on.

Diane and Brad
