Road Trip to Fort Myers, FL

March 18th - Wednesday - Sunny 87 degrees

Yesterday being St. Patrick's Day we celebrated by cooking a large brisket of corned beef with potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage in our crock pot, when I served it, Lou thought we lacked the green beer, so he had to settle for just "plain" beer in a chilled mug.  After dinner was all cleaned up we put in our favorite movie, The Quiet Man, and enjoyed it once again.  That has been a family tradition for many years.  Thanks to our older daughter, Susan, she gave us a copy to keep in the RV so we can enjoy it while we are on the road.  One year when we were traveling on St. Patrick's Day we couldn't even find the movie on television and had to endure the day without the movie.  She quickly solved the problem for us.

On Monday, we traveled to Fort Myers to visit with one of Lou's friends.  Doris had recently moved into a beautiful assisted living complex and she was anxious for us to see her new unit.  It so reminded me of Bethany where I worked at one time.  We went out to lunch together and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon together.  Lou and her husband were in the service together and their families had been very close and raised their children together and had remained close after both families retired from the Air Force.

As we left Doris in Fort Myers and drove the sixty miles back to Moore Haven to our RV park we drove past many orange groves of which I have a picture at the top of the post today.  We see so many huge load of oranges going to the packing companies, makes you wish a few would fall off as they go past!!

The people here at this RV park are so friendly and I think this is the cleanest laundry I have ever been in and everyone hangs their clothes outside at their units, so my clothes bar have come in very handy.  We did laundry yesterday.

This is back of our unit where we walk.

These pictures will give you an idea of where we are and what it looks like, next door to us on the left is a horse ranch and Maci loves to walk over there and rub noses with the horses, and I never remember to take my camera to take a picture of her.
