Hi! I’m typing this blog post from outside the RV! I’m sitting in the lawn chair outside looking at the blue sky and it’s 77 degrees out. Where’s my freeze time button?? If I could stop time right now…..
This is perfect weather and I have friends that are texting me from New Hampshire saying that there is a foot of snow on the way. I said, “Where?? I don’t see any snow.” They said, “Here in New Hampshire, Dummy.” I said, “Ohhhhhh.” Heehee…..I wonder if they will text me anymore??
Well, my cousin and her husband stopped by. It was so nice to see them. We sat around and chit chatted for a while and then we went out to eat at Applebee’s for lunch. I wish I had their luck! They fly into Orlando and had an economy car reservation waiting for them. They get to the rental car counter and they don’t have any economy cars available to give them, so they give them a convertible corvette…….some people have all the luck! So, it was so nice for them to stop by. I hope to see them again soon. So now I are sitting outside at the RV and I have to tell you what happened this morning. I, certainly, wasn’t impressed at all……
My little Maltese is a curious little bugger. And he’s been looking out the window at the cat next door. Well, he went out this morning to do his duties and found the cat under our pickup truck. Jake got a little too close to the cat and the cat turned and scratched his face. Yep, scratched my little puppy’s face. Well, he’s got a scratch mark between his eyes and nose and I stopped the bleeding and he lost fur around that area and now it’s getting a little swollen. I will monitor the damage thru the night and see how Jake does. He’ll be fine and I think he learned his lesson. Well, I’m not sure about learning his lesson, but we shall see. I really think his pride got the worst of it! He didn’t even cry, I think he was in too much shock to cry.
Other than that, everything else is quiet. We are just going to relax tonight. Have a good night!

Hello, I’ve made some progress on our internet connection here. We are in an area that is pretty far away from the RV Park’s wireless router so we purchased a wireless signal booster. Don’t ask me if I’m impressed with it yet, but so far so good….I’ll give it a few more days to see it in long term action. Tonight’s internet experience was a tad bumpy, I’m going to try again tomorrow. I really appreciate everyone’s emails and comments on how to handle a weak wireless signal – you all made my work on solving this issue very easy!
Sooo, I’ve been taking some local pictures here, and I’m hoping to post them tomorrow if the wireless signal wind is blowing my way! Today, we went to Walmart and got some errands done. Simple day, but people are everywhere….the Kissimmee tourists are everywhere. License plates from every state but Florida are around us! I’ve got a guy from Maine on one side of us and another guy from Michigan on the other side of us here at the RV park. But, no complains, everything is good here. Tonight we skipped dinner and punched “Dairy Queen” into the GPS. You have got to try the Chocolate Covered Cherry Blizzard….sooooo good….I can’t wait to go back and get another one! As Mickey would put it “Magically Delicious!”……no wait!! “Magically Delicious”??, why does sound so familiar??? Hmmmmm…wait, isn’t that from some cereal commercial…..Trix?? Nooo, that’s for kids…….it doesn’t go back to the 80′s with the Pac Man cereal, does it?? I’ll have to think about that one….but, anyways…..go to Dairy Queen!!!
Okay, moving on from my derailment back there….today, we put the awning out and the mesh screen that goes from the outer side of the awning to the ground – looks great, I got pictures of it, I’ll try to post them tomorrow. But, we really made ourselves at home here…the grill is out, all the lawn chairs are out, the bicycles are down from the RV….we will be staying here a whole month – I’m so happy!!
So, my cousin is here! Yep, she flew in today with her husband and she called me up tonight. We are going to catch up with her tomorrow. So I gave her our address here and she’s going to stop by tomorrow morning and we are all going to hang out. If my family back home is keeping up with this blog, this is my cousin from Oklahoma. Yeah, you know which one now! So I’m looking forward to that tomorrow!
Jake is doing great, but boy, has that little dog been plowing thru his canned food! Got to look around this week for a vet that sells that type of Science Diet food….he loves his food and he’s doing super! The temperature here is in the 70′s so I decided to give Jake a haircut…..I just can’t bring myself to drop him off at a doggie spa here and leave him there. He’s only been to one groomer back home, so he’ll have to live with the bald spots all over his body until Kim from Angel Paws can get her hands on him again…..sorry buddy!
As for me, I’m doing great, but somehow suffering from allergies. I’m taking my allergy meds everyday now to see if I can clear up the sniffs and sneezing. Hey, you take the good with the bad and right everything is awesome! Magically awesome!! Have a great night and I’ll be back tomorrow!
