Migration north has started here in the south

Another busy week behind us. Seems like we are on the go all the time but like I told my sister, when it comes time to write this blog unless I have pictures I don’t remember everything we did.

I’m typing this on Word since I can’t seem to get my Verizon to stay connected. Seems we’re not the only ones that have been having problems with Verizon’s internet service. I’m about ready to jump ship if this continues.

The migrating north has begun here in the village. Each day we see another rig pull out heading for where ever. The next two weeks sound to be the busiest on people leaving. Going to be hard saying goodbye to our friends here but we will see them all this fall. The park next door has only a few rigs left and when we're out running errands we always see rigs heading down the road.

Larry wanted to get the car ready to tow behind the truck so he pulled them out in the street. Pepper was having a fit, I think she was afraid we were leaving her so we put her in the truck. After that she was fine and actually climbed back out after awhile to see what we were doing. But the minute we started walking around she ran right back to the truck and climbed in. Guess we’ll never slip away from that one.

One afternoon there was a birthday party at the pool. Didn’t matter who’s or when your birthday was, just another reason to get together. Since it was in the high 80s it was a perfect day to become a bobber (person in water with noodle just floating around). Someone counted about 40 people there (some in water, some not) so not a bad turn out.

Wednesday night was our monthly Pizza Party. Dave & Sue McCarron host this every month and take our orders to a local Pizza place in the afternoon and it’s delivered around 5PM. It’s nice because we are able to order anything off the menu instead of always having to do pizza.

The big news in the area is that Cosco’s opened up last week not far from us. So Friday morning 5 couples hopped in three cars and headed there to check it out. Some already had memberships so those of us that didn’t went in with them and used their cards. It’s nice but pretty much like Sam’s and since we don’t have a Cosco near us in Michigan we’ll probably renew the Sam’s card. After almost 2hrs there (and the guys didn’t even complain) we went and had lunch. Got home in time for the guys to have a short nap than it was time for happy hour.

Sunday we went down to the Palapa at the River for the Cinderella Pet Rescue Fundraiser. Let me tell you it was an interesting time with around 100 people and someone counted 20 dogs. And all dogs were off their lease.

Here's a picture at the beginning of the event
Time for the hot dogs and chips
This guy just didn't have a chance saving his hot dog
This little girl even had her toes done for the party
Here's Pepper with her best friend Foster.
They look like they're planning a snatch and run for a hot dog

This was a combined event with the RV Park next door and it was a good day, not only did the dogs have a good time the people did to even those that came who don't even have a pet but wanted to support this event. Donations for the Rescue place were $877 which with that and the previous fundraiser held earlier of $2300 will help get them through the summer months. Many of the dogs in ours and the park next to us have come from Cinderella.

Things are slowing down and we are starting to get things ready to leave. I want to sort things as I start cleaning out cupboards to see what I want to take back and what to leave. With not taking the trailer I have to make sure there aren't any crumbs left as we do have a ant problem down here. I'll be able to leave can goods but other things like flour have to be in a sealed container. This week we'll get over and close the other trailer up too. This morning we washed the trailer so that should be good for the season.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you about a big change here in the park. It seems this man has decided this place was going to be a good investment and within the last three weeks he has purchased all of the remaining lots in Phase 1 (our area) which was 12 plus a RV lot in Phase 2 along with a RV Port lot for himself. We were told by the developer that he did not cut the prices and if that's so this guy just dropped over one million dollars in this place. And by the way it was a cash deal. It's a good & bad thing with him having so many lots and he'll be renting them out. He's already caused some tension here by some of the things he's done/said but the good thing is our values just went up with being so close to the clubhouse. We shall see what happens next fall.

So that's it for now. Time to take puppy for a walk before happy hour at our house.
Till next time......................
