SHOPPING TRIP….

Some supplies needed….

replenished so a shopping trip was organized,and away we went Nan and Soos driving….We stopped at this farmers market stand…it was a big stand….

Soos, Carol and Sarah headed on in…..

Beautiful ornamental cabbages were on both sides of the entrance…I love these plants…they are really a nice diversion up north (where I come from) in the winter..apposed to the stark winter landscape…

While walking around seen this cute little “Herbie Tractor” my name for it… Looked like you could have a few herbs and have a mini garden…

Very colorful fruits and vegie’s at this market..a bunch of different peppers here….

I loved these stacks of bell peppers…I thought maybe if I took one they would all tumble to the floor…. “CLEAN UP ON ISLE 4”

And who but me….

could find one of these while camping in the wild woods of a State Park….

and then I heard whispers of a “recipe” and”secret ingredients” that might be found it the store pictured below…hmmmm that sounds interesting….since I like the Champaign breakfast the other day….we will see…. 

I had a good time shopping with the gang…I usually go alone so this was really fun..also while we were at Winndixie Nan was in front of me at the check out and …all of a sudden I heard the word “cabana boy” mentioned or maybe I mentioned it …because I seen and heard all this bantering going on with the cute check out fellow…was wondering if another CB might be showing up…..she did admit she was flirting a little….so girls don’t be surprised at anything or anyone that comes out of that big brown bus….!!! It has not been the greatest weather wise…cold and rainy yesterday and last night …right now it is not much better …but it is on the up side…we didn’t even have a pot luck yesterday…it was a eat at home time…way to cold either in the Party Pavilion or someone’s site…So this is it for not thanks for looking and come back soon…

CHAMPAIGN BREAKFAST….

One morning we….
all went to Nan’s new home and Margie cooked us a pancakes / bacon breakfast…and it was delish…Sandy sitting, Margie and Nan in foreground…..
And the cooking begins…Linda and Nan getting into the pancakes….

Eating … around the table from left to right…Nan, Sandy, Louise, CArol, and Lisa…new member…

Some chatting went along with the good food….

And we also …..
had this…Louise brought this along to mix with the orange juice…and they made a drink by the name of Mimosa …I have not had this drink before this ...but found out I like it…even for breakfast …lol…

And here is Margie,..holding the cork that almost blew a hole in her forehead..The story goes like this…she was trying to open the bottle of Champaign, was having a little problem..she was leaning over the bottle while doing this…when all of a sudden we heard a fire cracker pop and a yelp….looked up to see Margie feeling her forehead area and looking up…then the cork landed on the awning of Nan’s rig and rolled off…it was funny after we found out she was ok …she said she could feel the air rush by her bangs as the cork blew past…close call but she averted a hole in the head…

So that was it for the breakfast ….always an exciting time with this bunch…I will post but not in any order…as the days get away from me and I don’t remember what happened when…thanks for looking and come back soon…

And the rest of the story…
We arrived on Sun. about 4pm caravanning with Linda / Sandy and Soos…just as we got in the site it started to rain..but was able to get elec, and water hooked up…Monday it rained on and off all day…and I am sitting here thinking …trying to remember what we did and my mind is blank…anyway I will take pix of everyone’s site and make a blog of that soon…some are going tomorrow on the Tram trip around the park and the Fort trip that most of us did last year….rain and cold high 57 tomorrow ..some of us  want to make a trip to Plant City to the flea marked and get strawberry short cake…will see what happens…I know this is not a great post but it is all I can manage tonight…thanks for looking and come back soon..

A MAGGIE KIND OF DAY….

Maggie's day….
This was a very rainy day…Harley dog gave Maggie a yellow rain slicker…you know the kind…. all us oldies wore back in the day…anyway she was not to sure about this slicker…as you can tell by her ears pointing back and tail hanging down…she usually does not care what I put on her…but not so sure this time…so pathetic looking….lol…

Then after walking a few feet she was ok with it…guess she figured it was not going to eat her…

Not only was it raining but the wind was blowing up a storm…at some points her tail was blowing totally side ways…the slicker has a cute little hat that goes with it but her ears are to big….

Maggie on Christmas day….I got her and Joey a Christmas present bag…A ball, a home made doggie cookie…and a little plastic dog bone thingy with poopie bags in it ..that attaches to the walking leash…Joey is my DD dog…

When Maggie wants to play ball she will grab a ball and come over to where ever I am drop it and sit and stair at me…until I play with her…here is one of those times…stair down..lol….

I am over at Wickham park …spent the night so I could empty my tanks…just an over night’er…Last night my neighbors lost their kitty..she slipped her harness and ran off….I helped them look for her…Maggie and I walked in the woods behind the RV…all the while I was calling here kitty,kitty,kitty…Maggie was going bonkers looking for this illusive kitty I was calling…she knows what a kitty is and really wants to get up and close with one…it stopped raining so maybe we will go for a walk before check out time…not sure what I will be doing the rest of the day…anyway thanks for looking and come back soon ..blessings to all G&M

ANNOUNCEMENT …..

Melbourne FL…High 68 … Low 33…brrrr

Sooooo…. my announcement is…

You remember on my last post…the word “GREAT”….well that is the operative word…I am going to be a GREAT Grandma in July!!! This pix was posted on FB last week by my GS and his wife…they are avid sports people mainly Steelers and Penguins hence the ice skates ..so Jackie was born in 1988 Dustin was born in 1986 and new one in 2014 …how sweet is this….today my hair was long enough to put in pig tails…a Great Grandma in pig tails….lol…Happy hearts flying around Florida!!!!!

The rest of the story….

is about my computer dying…what happened was this…it seams like cheap solder was used on the processor and over time with heat it melted and killed the processor.. (got this info from a Rep from HP at Best Buy)…so it was cheaper to buy new computer…the one I got has a new thing that is an auto cooling component and I have notice it works great the puter does not get hot…It has been trial and error with the new windows 8.1 for me…I  lost Live Writer  and all my pix  …so right now I don’t have many pix for posting…They want $149 to retrieve my pix & my documents… I really a hard time downloading the Live Writer..every time I tried it …I would get a message that I had an updated Windows Essentials  I looked and I did have an up dated one but the LW was not part of it on my puter…so after looking more at the down load I seen you could down load just part of it…and one of those two items was LW…so did that and got it…but I used up all my GB’s doing all this…so now have to look for free wifi… I think I have a good deal of Windows 8,1 conquered at least enough to use it… Not much camping going on either…I will go over to Wickham I think on Thrus. it will be warm again to dump my tanks….then at the end of the month will be picking up my sister at Orlando Airport….she is planning staying for 3 weeks…couple days after she gets here we will be headed to Hillsbourgh State park…for a week with the Women RV gang…we went last year and had a blast…Not sure when this will get posted…I have to find some free wifi…or wait until the 12th when mine comes back in… So thanks for looking and come back soon…
