Sebring and ice cream
1-2-15
Yesterday was a busy day and by the time we returned and watched the State of the Union address I was in no mood to write the blog.
The day started as usual by taking Oscar for a walk. As I approached the large pond in the CG, I saw the sign you see at the top of this article. I don't think it was there as a joke, so I promptly steered Oscar away.
Buy 11 we we're on our why to Sebring, 60 miles north, to visit Dave and Jan Pickman from Bradford. GPS found them without difficulty. After an hour of catching up and finding out their daughters house had burned the night before, we climbed in a four passenger golf cart and took a ride to the lunch cafe.
We had very tasty hamburgers and then Dave took us on a tour of the park. About 2/3 is park models and the rest is for RV's. Some permanent and others short term. It's a very large park with all the amenities. The name of this park is "Buttonwood Bay". We might consider this in a few years when we have tired of traveling.
It is also likely we will stop in Lake Placid on our way north. Jan says its a nice day just to drive around and look at the many murals painted on buildings. Maybe a photo op for Melvin. He's been keeping a low profile.
After leaving the Pickman's we searched out a Mexican restaurant and found Don Jose's. Fabulous food and excellent drinks and out the door under $30. Wow!
Then a quick stop at Wally World. I usually don't make daily trips, but the propane lantern I bought yesterday was missing the mantle a rather important part. As we left the parking lot I spotted a soft serve stand. Boy it's hot here. I really needed that refreshment to calm down the Mexican food.
Just a hour later we were back at Gracie in time to watch Obama. Maybe I'm stupid but I have watched the last 35. Anyway after that was over it was bedtime.

Today is a beautiful day. 85 degrees by 11 AM. I decided to check the water level in the batteries. Good I did as 2 cells were very low. Then I got out the ladder so I could replace the clearance lens I noticed missing 2 days ago. Just my luck, I bought the wrong one. 50/50 chance and I lost.
We decided to extend our stay here (Moore Haven FL) until next Monday. Still haven't been on an air boat ride. And for $6 each we can get a family style meatloaf dinner Saturday evening.
Got to love Amazon. Ordered a new shower head Monday, here today! And delivered to the camp site
Stir fry veggies & chicken for supper. Love the new cooking mat.
Tomorrow it's off to Fort Meyers. Should have photos to share tomorrow night.
