Week begin 12/21/09

Week Four and  Five 12/21-1/03

Monday, stayed one more day in Lake Magic, RV park, saying goodbye to Richard and Jeanne. Tuesday, headed to daughter Lisa’s place in Palm Beach Gardens. Lisa working late shift, so just parked and settled in. She arranged for us to stay at her friend Bill’s place in a very nice gated community, homes range in the one to five million dollar range, so our RV looked a little out of place. Bill arranged nicely to accommodate us with power and water.

Wednesday, greeted with hugs and kisses, lunch at a popular sports bar “Duffy’s. Then Bill took us over to the PGA National Golf Club where he is a card holder. Nice tour, newly renovated with a $65 million make over. Very nice! Home to many famous pro golfers, ie; Arnold Palmer and company. Entertained by professionally costumed Christmas Carolers, very good and really nice.

Christmas Eve, dinner at a very nice Bistro in Juniper. Bill’s dad joined us, as Lisa cares for him in her nursing home job. He really enjoyed our company and glowed all night. After dinner, a road trip to some incredible private Christmas light displays. A wonderful evening!

Christmas Day, relaxing day, gift exchanged, finished with a great spiral ham dinner. Day after, Bob down with the “Creeping Crud”. Sore throat, cough, congestion, the whole works. Down for three days. Great Packer game on Sunday! In the play offs! You never know!

End of Week Four

Bob still fighting the "Creeping Crud" with some improvement, but can't shake the cough.  Shari and Lisa a shopping day.  Bill toured Bob in a marina area he would frequent.   Mega yachts.  High rent area.
Mid-week Bob feeling better, walking 4-6 miles each day.  Weather been very good, temps in mid 70's.

New years eve reservations at a local Bistro.  Prior to dinner, they took us to a local Tiki Bar right on the Intercostal Water Way.  Very nice.  Dinner was great!  New Years day, said goodbye with hugs and thanks to Lisa and Bill for a great weeks stay, departing for our RV park in Clewiston, FL.

Left Lisa and Bills shortly after noon, and was not long and we were in down pour rain.  Cold front moving in and temps falling to the 60's.  Arrived at park in rain, but expected and welcomed warmly.  Assigned a nice waterfront site.  Not real fun setting up in the rain, but all went well.

Saturday, took a road trip to check our the area.  Lot's of canals around Lake Okeechobee, so kayaking will not be a problem.  Our RV park is pretty full, mostly French Canadians from Quebec, all speaking French.  Hopefully we will be accepted.  Found a Tiki Bar for an afternoon Bloody Mary, and gathered some information about the area from some locals. Big sugar cane area with a major processing plant nearby.

Sunday weather cool and cloudy.  Looks like this weather pattern for the next 10 days, high of 60 and night lows in the 30-40's.  Oh well, no snow.  Shari and I went for a long walk for lunch, then back to RV for the Packer game.  Not televised here, so tuned in on SIRUS radio.
