Valentine’s Day was a great day! We did some errands in the morning. Next was lunch at a Cuban restaurant, then a new sewing machine!!!!

One of the errands was that I needed to have a heart monitor put on for a month. The Tuesday before, I ended up in the hospital with a heart rate of 122 and in a trigeminy. I would have 2 regular beats and then a pre ventricle beat. They feel it was probably my thyroid medicine is off, and I’m getting too much. Well, I’ll keep you all updated 😍❤️👍

Have a great day!! Date days ended at Applebee’s with a sampler and margaritas.

Today, we went and checked out the Villages ! I absolutely loved it! There is soooo much to do! Wednesday 11th

Tried to make on the stove homemade pizza. Came out really well if I do say so… lol.

David only worked half a day, so we decided to go for a drink and tried a new happy hour at Graffiti Junction in Clermont fl. Monday

Mini staycation, and it has been so much fun and absolutely wonderful ❤️🎉🎊 Wednesday 18th.

Late lunch? Early supper? We tried out a new place to eat… The Crooked Spoon.

We have a new great niece due the end of January. The yarn was given to me by mother in law. I took the yarn and made a baby blanket and a baby cocoon for the new arrival. Exciting ❤️

Yesterday we took a free tour of the local winery… Lakeside Winery. Fun and there was a tasting at the end of the tour.

So the staycation comes to an end ….. 😭

Saturday, my Mom went to my brother’s house for Christmas lunch with Bev, Katie, and her friend Brian. David and I joined them later.

Sunday, Christmas day, my Mom, David and I went to Seth’s house for Christmas brunch. It was totally awesome ❤️ both food and company were great!

Monday, we had lunch with the large Theokas clan at the lobster boat. It was wonderful fun!!

It definitely was the best Christmas in years, being with my whole family. ❤️🎊🎉

Getting some fresh oranges from the Showcase of Citrus. It is also a little animal farm.

Thursday we arrived and went to Adam’s house to celebrate Laura’s birthday. Friday we spent most of the day with my Mother. We had an early dinner with Jim and Lynn. I was so excited to see them, duh no pictures. We had a great time!!❤️🎄

I’m getting really excited to head home for Christmas. To see everyone will be awesome. 🎄❤️🎉🎊🍹 We have been doing things to pass the time until we leave. Date day at Pepe Cantina, cocktails and appetizers….yummy! Then we rode around the town and investigated the little shops. Of course, we found an ice cream store.. ahhhh, delicious.

Getting ready for Christmas, haircut, manicure, and pedicure.

Wednesday was craft day, and we made Christmas shadow boxes. Later that afternoon, I had a manicure and pedicure. It was a wonderful fun day! They even serve Sangria! 🍹🎄

Today is wrap up day then HO, HO, HO 🎄

December 2nd has special meaning to me. I lost a son on that day, so it can be difficult for me sometimes. My thoughtful husband took the day off from work. We spent the morning at home relaxing. Early afternoon, he took me out for lunch.

After we had the luxury of a nap….zzz Early evening, we did the last of the Christmas decorations.

It was “Flamingle”, everyone brings a snack, drink and mingles. You can also play games! It’s a great way to meet the residents of Rolling Ridge.

Our 1st social was fun 🍹

We arrived early at Ruth Chris restaurant so we could have a drink and appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner.

We were so full that we took desserts home ….☺️ Pumpkin cheesecake and vanilla ice cream. We went the long way home along International Dr.

A fun Thanksgiving day!

Sunday, I rested from all the walking we did the day before. Monday, I worked on my grocery list that will be delivered on Wednesday. Tuesday We finally got to the post office to change our address. I also got my flu shot today. Later I’ll go to play cards at the club house.

David cleaned and organized the shed. He found this decorative hanging piece. He moved it to the outside to make the shed look good.

I tried out our 1st sit-down dinner on date night at Goombas. We thought everything was great. Check my Google review.

So much to around here. It’s hard to choose what to do first….😊

The first day was interesting for Peanut’s left eye, wouldn’t open. So we were looking for a vet to see him. They have urgent care for animals here, too. So we didn’t have to go to an emergency vet. Phew! He had an ulceration on his cornea. Antibiotics and a gel were ordered as well as the cone of shame.

We spent the next few days just getting settled. Cleaning and arranging things to our liking. Well, 2 days later, a threatening hurricane was coming. Rain was moderate, but the wind was frightening to me. We brought our living room slide in, and I prayed to just be OK in the morning. We had trouble pulling in our big side awning, so we had to call a repair person. Come to find out the motor died! Grrrr. So now the decision is to fix or replace the awning. Hmmm.

We did alright even though I didn’t sleep well. It rained the next 2 days, getting lighter each day. David was getting a little cabin fever, so he put out the patio furniture! It looks great!

Thursday, we had to have Peanut rechecked, and the ulceration is getting better, although his eye sight seems worse. They recommend seeing a specialist????

Finally, by Saturday, we both needed a little fun time. There was an RV show in Daytona, but I didn’t think I would be able to last a few hours or go up and downstairs, especially since my surgery. So, we decided to stay closer and go to Disney Springs. That way, we could leave when we wanted to and be home quicker.

It was so much fun and, of course, beautifully decorated. I was excited to go!!

One of the most beautiful sights was all the Christmas trees 🎄 Each tree was decorated after a Disney movie.

We took a little break and had a drink at Wolfgang Pucks restaurant. We also had a delicious sausage pizza…yummy.

We continued walking around for a while, had an ice cream, went home, and took a nap!

A GREAT a day!

November 1st and all cleared to head to Florida. We went to get gas, and it didn’t go well.

Finally, at Rolling Ridge Rv Park Clermont, Florida, Got settled in an relaxed rest of the day 😊
