Thanksgiving week… 🦃

? Harry Potter? On the way to Ruth Chris restaurant 🦃

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

Spinach, artichoke, and feta dip with buttery garlic toast.

Garlic mashed potatoes and green beans for sides

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!

Getting settled….

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.

Salamander or newt?? They are everywhere!

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….😊

We’re here in Florida

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!

On the way to Florida….

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

There is something about bridges I like..

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

Before we left 😊

Now that I’m cleared to go, we wrapped up our visit with family…..

Before we leave I wanted Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family…..😊

The next day, I went to a beef stew dinner. It was served in a bread bowl. Thank you, Leslie. Everything was delicious and beautifully decorated ! 🥂🍾

I can’t thank everyone for making this summer, especially wonderful and for helping me out! Love you all ❤️

All clear to go…..

Well, it’s been 12 days since my surgery, and I just got the okay to drive and the okay to travel to Florida. A lot of wonderful times this summer but excited to start a new one! 😊 A ride up north to see the foliage… beautiful.

We left the next day to spend a few days with my mom before leaving for Florida.

More fun….

I went to a meat raffle this weekend. Nope, I didn’t win, but my daughter-in-law did haddock and stuff clam shells.

Sunday was girls’ day out! There were 4 of us, my daughter-in-law, and her mom, my granddaughter, and me. First,we went to lunch at the Firefly restaurant. Then, we were treated to a play, The Little Mermaid. Cute ❤️

Murals on the way to the theater.

Rving isn’t always fun. I will need to have surgery. This is scary and stressful. It has delayed our trip to Florida by 6 weeks. The cold weather here in New England is also concerning. Hopefully, it won’t go below 32 degrees.
