Ocala , Florida

After the break down last month we were looking forward to a relaxing time at Ocala , Florida and that's what we got ....

Our good friends Shirley and Jim Perry are here with us at Lake Waldena Resort . We've had some shopping trips with them and great tasting dinners together.........also a few exciting games of euchre ......men vs girls and the men came up victorious !!!!!!!!



The weather has gotten warmer ......and a rain storm that was a little scary ....I'm told the rain was coming at 4 to 5 inches a hour ....we had some of our things floating around and were heading toward the lake only a few feet behind us.......Something had to be done to save our belongings before they were to be lost to the lake ....someone had to do something and fast ...but who .....yes who would go out in the height of the storm and fight.... the wind ....the rain ...the strong current of the storm .......who ? Well one of us had to go and one stay in the comfort , dryness , warmth and safety of the RV .......Well that's what we did .......I looked deep inside me and found the strength to talk to the dogs and keep them calmed down ........Also with a steady keen eye I was able to scream out clear and direct orders to Sharon what to grab and claim back from the seas......I know what your all thinking ...how did I stay calm though out this ordeal .......The twenty years working for the City of Rochester did teach me how to react when work needed to be done ..............








Sharon and I also had the pleasure of a afternoon with friends from Green Harbor Campground our summer home ......Joy and George Cody have a very nice winter home about 40 minutes from where we are staying here in Ocala ........We enjoyed some cold refreshments ...a tour of their house and area dock and water front ....This big guy was sunning himself just off their dock.......

Goerge and Joy also treated us to a very filling and delicious lunch at a fine restaurant close to their place ......thanks guys.......

On one of our drives with the Perrys we found this "motorbike " it has a 350 cu.in. Chevy engine ....cool huh ?

Here's' baby Monty with one of his favorite friends ....Mr. Perry ......

We had our last winter dinner with the Perrys' last night .....Corned Beef , cabbage and soda bread....so good......We leave tomorrow Friday the 19th of March.......heading north to St Joe's , Florida ....its up on the Gulf of Mexico on the panhandle ....Starting our slow 2006 mile journey home for the summer months ...........As always Sharon is here and looking forward to returning to Wegmans ....softball .....her Miata......
