Off to Webster flea market, walked around all morning bought a half a flat (six pint boxes) of strawberries🍓, first we've seen any for sale. We had lunch there at a BBQ place, food was great. It took some time to get your food but was worth it. Back to the Moho and started eating strawberries. Oh, they were so good. We had two boxes polished off before diner time. To offset the strawberries we had a salad for diner with strawberries on top of course.

First thing this morning after a serving of strawberries was to give two boxes to the neighbors. My mouth was getting sore from eating so many. Then we drove down to Lakeland to check out the RV glass place. Made a day of it shopping and eating our way home. A nice drive down and back the place was easy to find and get into.
Back home steak and shrimp for diner!

A cool morning again. After it warmed up a bit, we went to the bike trail for some exercise. I set my phone for a half hour ride one way. When my timer rang, I found what I thought was a spot and turned around. Well, I tried to turn, I ran over a half-rotted branch it broke front wheel got stuck and I went flying. Nothing hurt to bad but as I looked around, I was just 3 or 4 feet from the edge of the swamp. Well, I jumped up just pretty quick before any alligators could get me. I got back and met Diane she looks at my scraped knees and elbow and with great compassion said, 'there's not even any blood'. Back to the Moho. Chicken on the grill with fresh broccoli.

After a cooked breakfast we walked down to check out a Moho for sale here in the campground, a Newmar Ventana 3634 all electric coach. It was nice and so were the owners. But like us selling and buying while living in your RV gets tough. Next was lunch at the Southern Harmony restaurant about 20 miles away. Food was ok, I had a pulled pork sandwich, Diane had an open faced roast beef sandwich good food nothing special. We stopped at an antique store here in Webster then back to the Moho. Diane spent most of the afternoon calling trying to find us a campground in Maine for this fall.

with on and off rain, windy, high winds. We stayed in most of the day. Diane took advantage of the cold and made lasagna. At least running the oven helped keep the place warm.
Saturday 14 January 2023 Happy Birthday Lynne🎂
Another cool windy morning but no rain. Once again Diane had all the fun. She went to the grocery store and farmers market while I was stuck dropping off lasagna and visiting with Len. The wind did die down enough to grill sausages.

What a nice morning still a little cool but sunny. Diane made us a nice breakfast while I watch an auction close. Nothing to exciting. We slowly packed up for our trip to Lakeland to finally get the windshield replaced. And you know a plan never goes according to schedule! It was time to pull out and I was just moving the bike out of the way went I heard the neighbor groan. He was standing on the picnic table working on his awning when it came apart. Awning arm in one hand and awning in the other he couldn't move. So, I went over to help. An hour later I was back in the Moho and ready to pull out. It was a nice ride, sunny, not much traffic and our only deadline was to park before dark. We rolled into RV Glass solutions at 3:30. The place is in an industrial area; the small parking lot has chain link fence topped with barbed wire and the gate just didn't quite close tight. It wasn't too bad there was another couple spending the night, so we weren't alone.

We had to be out of the Moho, dog and all by 7:45. I for some of you who still work that is not a problem but for us (and I mean Diane and Rudy) it takes some effort, but we made it with time to spare. After meeting with the shop foreman and signing all the paperwork we were on our way to breakfast. It started out cool this morning but by the time we were done with breakfast it was t-shirt

weather. Diane's throat is really bothering her, first stop was for throat lozenges then a new RV dealer we never heard of, then over to General RV. There the salesman insisted on getting us a quote and so he did and so we left. He did recommend a place for lunch, Fred's Buffet. The place was packed but we waited for a parking spot then waited for a table. It was buffet only and we both ate a little too much (well mostly me) the food was good, and we ended the meal with a strawberry shortcake. Yum. We headed to historic downtown Plant City found some antique stores we haven't ever been in, and they had a few items we "needed". Just as we were heading to the third store the glass shop called the Moho was done.

Back to the Moho sign a bunch more paperwork, go over the to do's and don'ts and we were done. Now we can't move the Moho or put the slides out or jacks down until morning. We sat outside until dark then moved in. Let's just say it was cozy and we were in bed early, and they fixed the gate before they left.

I got up around 630, Diane's throat feeling a little worse this morning. Luckly no other motorhomes in the parking compound I think most of the employees are at the RV show. We still managed to get on the road by 9:30. A lot of traffic and several road construction areas made the trip back a little nerve wracking. Are propane continuing to run low and the campground still unable to fill motorhomes we decided to fill up at Par Gas in Bushnell. So, we stopped to unhook at a plaza just down from Par Gas and wouldn't you know it there was a restaurant there.😁 After lunch Diane went to the grocery store and I went back to park and get the Moho set up. Figuring I can park without Diane's help I started to back into our spot and just as I started to straighten up I noticed the speed limit sign waving at me. Oh crap, crap %$#@. 😠 I pulled up parked checked out the damage and waited for Diane to get here to finish parking. And just for the record it was Diane's fault for not being here to park me. Just say'n.
She got home parked ran over to check the damage, said it wasn't that bad and went about unloading the groceries. Burgers and wine took the edge off of my anxiety. And the day was over.
