Another week has passed and we are surviving quite well. The stores have had everything we needed but not all the time. Not much else has changed the weather has been really nice all week. We had one thunder stormy day and today we have a tornado watch for a few hour this afternoon. We have stuck with no more than 30 minutes of news a day and that is enough. We stay home most of the time except Diane does the grocery shopping and we try to get to the park several times a week. We know a lot of people not keeping the social distancing however for us it is just not worth it. Diane keeps telling me I'm in the old geezer category of higher risk.
This little guy was too cute. He is 13 years old and just loves going for a ride with mom and dad!!
We have once again postponed our departure from Florida for another week. We keep trying to leave but the weather up in PA just won't warm up. I hate to go from shorts and flipflops to long johns and gloves to say nothing of having to dig out jeans. So the new plan is to leave May 1st or 2nd to head north. The last we heard VA still has all campgrounds closed for overnight stopping so that last day will be a long hard drive of 300 or more miles. Thousand Trails also has not come up with a opening date yet. I guess we head north and hope something opens by the time we get there.
With Georgia opening up some things today maybe Florida will open up some restaurants soon. We were hunger for Chinese on Monday. Diane called 5 Chinese places near us and none were open. That seems odd since most of them are carry out anyway(unless they know something we don't). We ended up getting from the Swamp House here at the campground only to find out they drastically cut their menu. We had several choices picked but out they had none. But lucky for us the grilled shrimp and fish tacos were still available. We're getting tired of same thing day after day.
We did a virtual happy hour with a bunch of family and that was great to see and hear so any of them. We should all keep that option available as this social distancing continues for who knows how long. With the rest of the snowbird people leaving the happy hour here is now to just a very few and two more are leaving tomorrow. Now they are only going to South Carolina so they don't have to suffer temperature shock.
We have our own mini Jurassic Park here. Of all the places
we have visited in Florida we have never seen so many gecos all different
color, shapes and sizes.
Big news for the week we bought a cell phone booster and hooked it up this morning. Not the big improvement we were hoping for but it is still better than what we had. So give us a call so we can check it out. We have 90 days to check it out.
You all be safe. I will try to post a little more often as we start to pack and clean up for the trip north.
