Last days at Paradise Oaks

Saturday February 23 2019

First of all we have been having a terrible time with the blog.  We have lost entire days when we save the data and then I look at Diane and say fix please!  Anyway,  nothing much today. We went to Len's picked up our mail and packages.  We got a new rug for under the awning put that out and it looks nice.  We went through the mail and when you only get it twice a month it takes awhile. I took my usual bike ride.  We all took a walk around the trail in the campground probably almost a mile.  Left over shrimp for dinner(don't you just hate left overs..not)

Another hot day. It was 71 degrees when I got up this morning. I had to drag Rudy out for his walk.  Breakfast on the grill, the showers and we are just counting down the days until water heater is replaced.  Diane gave me a haircut and I must say it looks good but she still didn't get a tip.  The wind died down enough for me to do my bike ride while Diane had the pleasure of cleaning the inside of the Moho.

Up early and at 9 AM we were off to the Webster flea market, not bad for us.  First time this year and we were both eager to root through old junk looking for that special item we can't live without.  By the time we left the market the cart was full.  Diane found Pfaltzgraff dishes, 10 or 12 of them and Diane was interested in just one item, until we left I had talked her down in price and we took the whole lot of them.  I found two silver dollars to add to my collection and a much needed inside out umbrella and we decided to call it quits.  We headed home, unloaded the stuff and stayed in the rest of the day.

We had planned on visiting with Ashley, but instead we took a nice leisurely drive to Brooksville.  We stopped at BB & B for coffee and did a little more shopping, hitting Bealls and one or two other stores before heading home.

A quick trip to visit Ashley then we headed up to O'shucks for lunch. 

OK  I am trying to remember these last few days, since the computer crashed and lost everything we had typed in the blog.....so for that reason, not much listed and you only get the hi-lights.

We got up with great anticipation of getting our new water heater put in.  While Dave, the installer

Water heater is in!!

was there, Diane headed to the grocery store to get supplies for our up coming trip.  She gets back home, we unload and put the stuff away, and Dave is still here.  He finally finished up and we head out.  First stop for money, then off for lunch then over to the cemetery for one last visit with Shawna before we head out.  We didn't stop for a usual beer, instead we headed home for a trip around the park to visit friends, but they were all out and about, so back to the Moho to start cleaning up for our trip on Friday.  It took both Diane and I all evening picking and cleaning, folding rugs, chairs, etc to get things cleaned up....and that was just the out side.  We just had sausages for dinner and then headed inside. 

New door doesn't look 

to bad.

Were got up and Diane started packing and cleaning before she even had breakfast.  Now I only had a few things to do to the outside, so I was ready long before her (tee hee).  She finally got the inside packed up and we were on the road about 10:00.  It was a pretty uneventful ride, with a stop about 12:00 for lunch in the Moho.  It was a nice break for all.  After that we get on Interstate 10 and about 30 min. later we are in a torrential down pour.  It was scary for the both of us a the wind was blowing so hard you couldn't see the road as the sheets of rain came down and then the windshield started to steam up as the temp dropped 20 degrees.  It was quite the site as Diane is hang over the dash with a rag trying to keep the windshield cleared, and shortly after that we found a rest stop and pulled in.  Diane then found the defrost fan button and the rest of the ride was good.   We get off 10 and head to the Moose we were staying at, pulled in and I parked while Diane went to check us in.  About 5 min. later another Moho pulled in for the single campsite that remained.  Well as it turned out there were 2 sites so we both parked and talked quite a while.  About 5:00 Diane and I headed into the moose for a beer and dinner of Fried Chicken and scalloped potatoes, there is no fee to stay so we usually eat at the Moose of we stay there.  We headed back to the Moho about 7:30 watched so TV and were both in bed by 10:00
