Carpet is Cleaned

Yeah,thats right. I vacuumed the carpet then I steam cleaned it. It is looking better,so maybe a couple of times again in the next month and it will do for awhile. Not only did I do that but I also washed the motorhome. Boy did I have a busy day. We also walked 5 1/2 miles so by the time we settled down for the night I was a little tired. The weather man says rain today but this morning it is sunny and 73* so we shall see.
As far as for today it is the same as usual,no plans except to get our walking in and then just let the day happen. And that will be when one of us say"I think it would be nice to-----". We will have to make some plans to see some of the people that we see when we come down for the winter.

Saw One

We were walking again out in the J B Starkey Wilderness Park yesterday and saw the armadillo. It was close to the path and didn't seem to mind us stopping to look and snap a picture. It has been a while since we have seen one,they are a quite little animal that just go along rooting in the ground.
Today I'm planning on cleaning the carpet again. I cleaned it just a couple of weeks ago but I'm trying to get it good and to try and lift up the crushed piles. The builders of motorhomes don't put in the best of carpet to stand up to fulltime rving. They also cut corners on all the rest of the things.

Good Day

We had to go to WalMart yesterday to put in our perscriptions for our medicine. On the way we decided to stop by the J B Starkey Park and walk.
On the way into the park you come to a tree in the middle of the road. I've seen several parks with trees in the road. I don't know why they don't remove them before they put down the asphalt. Maybe it looks more like a wilderness this way.

I always take my camera with me when I leave the house because you never know when a good opportunity for a good picture may come up. I was wanting to get a picture of some kind of animal but none was to be had. So what do I do? At least maybe a picture of the clouds.

Then of course with all the pine trees there are pine cones on the ground.

But wait,after we got in the car and was on the way out we did see this turtle. Actually we saw two of them that were close together. Maybe they were on their way for some water? It has been so dry here. The temp. was above 80 yesterday and today is going to be the same.

Saw on the news this morning where they had a 50 vehicle pile up on I-4 due to the fog, 20 of them were semi trucks.

How are you today?

Yesterday was laundry day,which is usually pizza day,but neither Nancy nor I wanted pizza. Instead we had some things that were left over in the frig. Pork chops with a baked potato and a salad,made for a good meal.
I noticed in Nancy's journal she wrote what I was doingthe other night. Oh the electronic age. While I was on the computer I was watching a ballgame and also listening to my scanner. I guess I just need to know what is going on at the moment. It sure is amazing how we have come to depend on all the modern things of this age. As far as needing these things,we really don't need them they are just nice to have.

That time again

That time again to do the laundry. After that we will for sure get into something as we do most of the time. It is usually walking but,that is what we want to do. We have to walk for our health and also we feel better when we do.
I.ve acquired a new hobby,Nancy doesn't care much for it. I bought a scanner radio to listen to. I've wanted to do this for a long time but have been putting it of. I was looking on the internet and on the Radio Shack site saw this Nascar unit built by Uniden that was on sale and with a deal they had I just couldn't pass it up. So all those years of wanting one I finally got one.
I guess this is just like fulltime rving,some like it and some don't.

Mural

I just love these towns that have the murals on the walls of the buildings. New Port Richey is one of these towns. The one above looks like a photo. It is of one of the houses out in the bay. I don't know how the houses have survived the storms and hurricanes through the years. We went to church again this morning,came home and went out to walk,we have to keep our walking up.

Eyesore or Art?

Yesterday was a running around day,today is saturday so it must be sitting and watching ballgame day.
Saw this on the news this morning. The neighbors are complaing but Bates says it is art. The city is looking into it.

Site Seeing

After sitting around so much yesterday we are going to look around today. Although we did manage to go to the mall and walk some yesterday evening. With a few ants in the pants I want to get out and see what Dade City looks like. We've been coming to this area for quite a few years and havn't been to look this place over. It is suppose to have a few things to see. At least we will be walking on different ground.
We did go to Dade City. Here is the Pasco County Court House. We took a walking tour around town.

An old truck that belongs to the shop where it is parked. They had shops all through town and also enough places to eat. This small town is crowded.

Here is The Sistrunk Home built in 1890s in plantation style. Dr.Sistrunk was one of Dade city's pioneer doctors. Dade City has things going on all year round. You can also take a trolley tour around town. In town is the one-time worlds largest juice plant. You can spend a whole day here looking at all they have to offer.

Nothing

Thats right absolutley nothing going on today. How is that for a boring day,I guess its the cold weather got us down. The temp here this morning was 28*. But ahhh tomorrow back up to 67*,not really that warm,but slowly warming up. Maybe we can get out and take some pictures of different things. I did see a good football game last night. West Virginia and Oklahoma,there was a bunch of points in this game and being originally from WV I enjoyed this game. Don't you just enjoy it when the annoucers are wrong on there pridiction of the game?

Cold Night

You bet it was a cold night. When I woke up this morning it was 41 degrees,I know a lot of you are in much colder weather but this is not what you expect when you come to Florida. Well we will have only a few days like this and then back up to the normal temps in the 70's.

We did manage to get out and walk a little. Here is a pic of New Port Richey's Water Front Park where we did the walking,it goes around a small lagoon type section of water that comes in from the gulf.

Then we went out to another park where we could look out towards the gulf waters. Yes those are jackets we have on,the temp was 68 but with the wind coming off of the gulf it was a little cool.

Today I'm trying to get my old 8mm camcorder to work. I havn't used it much and I think the heads may need cleaning. The video on playback jumps all over the place so I will try a head cleaning tape in it. It took me all morning to find one because the stores do not stock things for the old cameras and camcorders. I like this one because it usually takes a good video and also snap shots on a media card,also has great telephoto lens on it.

A New Year

A New Year and a new begining. What will this year hold for you. I hope a lot of happy times a very few sad times. As we live our life we have each of these and theres no way around it. Cherish each moment you have because it ends too soon. I guess here are the things that people will want to do-lose weight,stop smoking,get more exercise,vist and talk to friends more often and the list goes on and on. If these things are what you were going to do this time last year what happened? We just keep putting off things that we are going to do and the time runs out without us doing it. Do what you want to do before it is too late. Try and do something different this year,walk a little farther,jump a little higher,sing a little more and whistle like there is no tomorrow,you may enjoy it. Again I hope the things you wish and work for this year is yours.
