DAY 17: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2019: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TODD AND EMILY

What a great day! Todd and Emily‘s 8th Anniversary. We wish them a great day and a year filled with good health and exciting new experiences. 

                WITH GRANDPA ON HIS 90th BIRTHDAY

We are still sitting at General RV. The flashers on the Jeep now work. Robert is painstakingly Talking to dish to work on the TVs. Hard to have that much Patience! 

I wanted to note some of the places we have been that were not documented since Blogspot was giving me trouble. I am going  to try to put them in Chronological order.

 Last year we purchased the Navigator on October 4, 3 days after selling the boat. Lol! I thought we were nuts then now I know we are. 

After purchasing we flew home to pick up the Jeep , filled  it, and drove back to General to have the Airforce 1/ Combination  Blue Ox tow package put on the Jeep and Rv. Off we went to Tampa East to leave the coach, then drove to Marathon for a relaxing Thanksgiving with GERI and Bill. GERI and I did the Turkey 

Trot on Duck Key Thanksgiving morning. When we returned from Marathon,  we moved the Coach to Port St Lucy where we stayed until we returned from Christmas.  We saw many friends and enjoyed many restaurants there as well as a friendly Planet Fitness. CATHIE, Jared, Carol, Gerry, JOAN, Gordon, John, and Fran all spent time with US while there. It was great to see everyone.

FRIENDS TOGETHER AGAIN

GIRLS CHRISTMAS GATHERING AT BRIX

We returned New Years Eve Day and went to a park in Boca to spend the Eve with Claudia, Burt, and their friends. It was a beautiful night. 

New Years Day we arrived in Big Pine Key, Sunshine Key Resort where we remained until the beginning of February. We celebrated out Girls True Lies Weekend at The Weirs. While at Sunshine, we had many friends for burgers: Grace, Werner, Webb, Emmie, Brandy, Loyal. Bonnie. We met some great people: Linda and Gary who introduced us to Outdoor Resorts. 

When we left Sunshine Key, we stayed with Bonnie and Loyal in their yard until Grace and Werner’s ANNUAL DINNER  Party was over. We cruised aboard Mermaid to the Everglades. What a great time! When we returned to Marathon we then drove the Coach to Everglades City RV Resort! The same marina we were at on Mermaid. Great to see Bill at Everglades City again. We had dinner with him and Goldy. 

I have photos for all of these experiences and they didn’t load up. Frustrating?????

THEY STAYED ON THE COACH WITH US IN TEXAS

I hated leaving MARATHON , but we had to move on. Our next destination was Tropical Gardens in Bradenton where we visited with KEVIN, SHIRLEY, Karl, Linda, Mary, Dennis, Jim and Diane. We had lots of Burgers in Paradise everywhere went.

DINNER AT SHIRLEY AND KEVINS WITH JANET AND ROLAND 

       BRUNCH WITH KARL AND LINDA AT TROPICAL GARDENS 

I‘m getting ahead of myself with photos but want to share these with everyone. The photos are not in order. For this, the photo gallery won’t cooperate. But, we had lots of fun with so many family and friends and infant to document it somehow for when I’m old.

More to follow tomorrow!

Now, we were in March, 2019. we left the coach at Tropical and flew to Buffalo for Nate and Anna’s wedding.  It was beautiful! 

THE  BUFFALO WEDDING

THE EVER SO READY RINGBEARER

When we returned to Tropical, we departed for Tallahassee RV Park, then Pensacola RV Park, followed by the French Quarter Resort in New Orleans. That was a great place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there. We visited the WWII museum, had Benets, and muffulettas, not to mention the breweries, the shrimp, and cajon delicacies at Mothers Restaurant. 

LOTS MORE TO COME IN MY MIXED UP YEAR IN REVIEW. THIS YEAR WILL BE MUCH EASIER TO ORGANIZE.
