March 17th - Beautiful - Sunny

Yesterday we were up early and left for Plant City with the idea of purchasing fresh strawberries, as we left our camp site, Lou turned on the windshield wipers to brush the pollen off the windshield, we noticed that one of the wipers needed to be replaced, so we made a mental note to stop at a Walmart to get new bladed en-route.

As we left we noticed that "Maggie's Drawers" were hanging out, that indicates that there will be all kinds of shooting taking place on that day and to stay clear of the designated area, this area is just below our camp ground, so we pay attention to Maggie's Drawers!

We drove out Bayshore Drive and I took pictures of some of the base housing, which I think is beautiful, and right across the street is the water and on the horizon in St. Petersburg. There are beautiful playgrounds, tennis courts and such in this area also. You always, see young mothers and children out walking with strollers and little folks on bikes, all seem to be having a good time and enjoying the sunshine and the breeze from the water.

We stopped at Walmart and found wiper blades that fit the Malibu and Lou struggled to put them on and just couldn't get them on, a man stopped to try and help him and he couldn't get them on either, and he suggested taking them to the auto department and asking them for assistance and Lou did that and Lou drove around to the side of Walmart to the Lube and Tire area and a guy came out and it only took a minute and he had it on. Problem solved and we continued our journey.

We did get fresh strawberries, we bought a flat of berries for $5.99 and they are just beautiful and so very sweet. We stopped at our favorite place and Lou got strawberry shortcake and I got a strawberry milkshake. We also picked up fresh produce to bring home with us. We had sausage, biscuits, gravy and sliced tomatoes for breakfast this morning and they were delicious.

We stopped at Lazydays on our way home, as June and Steve were there, and they had just purchased a new RV and were transferring all of their possessions from their old motor home to their new home. So we got a tour of their new home and were able to catch up with them on happenings since we last saw them. We are so happy for them, as we know they will enjoy their new home as much as we enjoy our new one. They also took the driving course and found it very helpful also.

We arrived home in time to let Estee out and feed her and get to the Clubhouse for our St. Patrick's Day celebration. We met our new friends from Pennsylvania there and spent the evening with them enjoying our dinner, music and conversation.

It was indeed a very full day. Now today, need to accomplish a few things and want to get into the sunshine before it gets to the forecasted 87 degrees. Actually, the temperatures that Krista is telling me about in Pennsylvania sound pretty good to me.
