Dinner out

Yesterday after doing our morning on our computers checking emails and blogs it was time to start our day.
I was the first to get ready as it always is so while Nancy was getting ready I took a load of laundry down to the campground laundry room to do.
After getting back to the motorhome I asked Nancy where she wanted to have dinner today.

It was off to Niko's Place where we have eaten a few times before but not at least a year.  We like Niko's because they have a large salad bar but when we walked in we saw the salad bar was taken out what a bummer.  Any way when we ordered what we wanted the waitress did bring us a large family bowl of salad and bread to start us out so not to bad.

From the restaurant I went to Harbor Freight for a couple of things.

On the way back home we took the trip through  New Port Richey and around Orange Lake to see the large Christmas Cards they have up this time of year.

At one point the Egrets decided to walk across the street in front of me.

Then it was out to the very crowded route 19 to go home.

Everyone here is always in a hurry with so many cars on this route that you really have to keep your eyes on the road. If not you may end up in a four vehicle accident like the cars in the photo above did.

There was a stop at the Winn  Dixie dessert later.  Nancy wanted pie so I lucked out on the because they had Edwards Pie buy one get one free.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Nothing new

Thursday Like each morning getting up before Nancy does and checking the blogs I follow plus checking the email.  As others do I have my daily routine each and every morning to start the  day.
By the time Nancy gets up to get our breakfast my stuff is usually finished.
Then there is the duty of taking the trash to the dumpster and checking the mail which we hardly ever get unless I notify our mail forwarding people to send what we have. The mail part only happens around once a month unless I'm waiting on some special mail.
Yesterday Nancy prepared our supper of cubed pork, sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables, onions and I cut up hot peppers for myself. The only way Nancy eats hot pepper is to fry it with eggs. That takes the hot taste out and still flavors the combination with the eggs.

We had a cool night for sleeping but not so cool that we needed any heat. The temperature got down to 50* and that what it was when we awoke this morning. Checking the temperature this morning on the computer I saw where our kin folks in West Virginia and Kentucky the temperature was 12 and 13 degrees.  Our temperature is going to be up to 78* today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.    

Visiting Friends

Yesterday after noon we went to visit our home town friends from West Virginia Sam and Carolyn who now live in Kentucky for a few hours to how they were doing and to catch up on the latest news.  It was good seeing them once again and spending the time with them. 
From there we went to the roadside market to get a few things and them I stopped at little Caesar's for a Hot and Ready Pepperoni Pizza.  After getting back home we warmed the pizza up a bit with me cutting up some hot peppers on mine to add that little extra zing to it, tasted really good.

Nice and sunny today with a temperature of 80* at 10:00 and just a few things to do today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.





    

Doing some shopping

I got out for a little while yesterday giving Nancy some time to get ready since she was wanting to do some shopping.

I knew it was foggy out but didn't know that it was this foggy.  Most of the cars on the road had their headlights on and this was a little afternoon so the morning part and into the afternoon late this is what we had to put up with.

 

There is this one street that went out toward the gulf and every time I went by it I said "one of these days I'm going to check it out".  Well this was one of those days so off I went down the street.  The canals behind the houses are somewhat wider than the ones I have seen.  The front street of these houses have a drive way where you can park your car and the back street which is the canal they have their boat docks where they can moor the boats.  Yeah that's Florida for some people.

Looks like the house owners on the left have a small house boat. 

I wonder if they have a motorhome or trailer parked out front?

A fella has to have his toys right?

Get those things and enjoy them while you are young enough.

When you are older and go to Walmart you spend about as much time in the Pharmacy lanes as you do in the grocery lanes.

You know what I mean got to have those pain pills, pain creams, polident for the teeth, eye glass cleaner and well you get the idea.

After getting back home and eating a snack we were out the door to do our shopping.

The evening we were on the computers and watching a little tv.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Being old

With the cool weather the last few days and the wind blowing us old folks would rather stay inside.
Nancy fixed some of her beef soup with carrots, onion, potatoes and celery.  That and a peanut butter sandwich really hit the spot.

I did get out to take the trash to the dumpster a couple of times but as far as going anywhere out of the park it was a no go.

Yesterday we did the never ending cleaning of the motorhome as Nancy did some mopping and I did the vacuuming and taking the throw rugs outside to give them a good shaking.
Also as you know that Saturday is my college basketball games day.
Yeah there is also a couple of those basketball games on today.

I know I sit around a lot but hey I'm an old guy and believe me I feel it during this cold weather, the old arthritis pain kicks in on the joints and makes it hard to move sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Laundry and Cooking

Yesterday morning after having our breakfast and checking our email and other computer things we slowly got ready to face the day.
We had to do the laundry so that always take up some of our time.  Nancy trust me doing some of the laundry but when it comes to her things like her tops she takes them out of the dryer before they get dried.  She says if she lets them dry completely in the dryer they will shrink.
After doing the laundry I told Nancy I would prepare our supper. I was going to have wiener size Smoked Polish Sausage on a bum and maybe kraut on top of that but Nancy said she didn't think she would like it.  No problem I would have to think of something else but it would have to be with the  Polish Sausage since I had my taste buds ready for it.
I went to store and bought some linguine.

While the linguine was boiling I cut the Polish Sausage fried it then fried onions and colored sweet mini peppers in Canola oil when that was ready I mixed in Teriyaki sauce to boil.  I then mixed that in with the sausage and linguine a little salt and black pepper.  The way Nancy went into it I could tell she liked it and I agreed with her that it tasted really good and I would have to fix it again.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Out for dinner

The De-Flapper Max did come in yesterday and while Nancy was getting ready I put them on.  These have a large area to grip the awning and with the hard rubber they should work out to be good. I'll have to wait and see when there is a wind to see.

I saw this in a flyer in the paper, Nancy was feeling a little better and the weather was nice and sunny.
So I suggested that we go up to Spring Hill and give it a try.

The Mariner Family Restaurant was in a small strip mall.  Upon entering we seated ourselves we noticed it was clean and the service was quick.

Of course I took the NY Strip Dinner with fries and slaw at the price of $7.99 I figured I couldn't go very wrong and boy I was right on.  The steak was to perfection just as I had ordered and it appeared it was at least 5o/z.  With all that it came first with a cup of soup and then after the meal came a dessert all of that for the price of $7.99 I think we will be going back to this restaurant.
Nancy had a salad first then Chicken Parmigiana with peas, apple sauce, coffee and dessert all that for $6.49.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
   

Slowly doing things

The temperature keeps getting lower every morning and will at the lowest Saturday morning.
It got down to 58* last night so not really cold but a good sleeping temperature.

The window awning fabric that I had ordered came in yesterday. I will have to wait until this cool spell is over before I start on putting them on the two windows.  Can't handle the stiff fabric very well getting it installed.

I've been trying to find some kind of material to put on the windshield of the motorhome for when we open the curtains that we will be able to see out with anyone seeing us inside.  Yesterday I went to Home Depot to see if the fiberglass close mesh screen would work. But upon looking through it I could still see through it. Of course I was looking at it within a couple of feet maybe from a distance it would be what I need. 
This is going to take some more looking into before I give  up on that idea.

From Home Depot I went to Walmart for a few groceries then stopped at Burger King to pick Nancy and myself a couple of sandwiches with the coupons I had the price was right.

Today I will put on the new awning de-flappers that are suppose to be here that I ordered from Amazon.  The ones that I have now are so old that they don't hold the awning they jut keep slipping.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Fruit and Vegetables

Yesterday I needed to get a few things from the roadside fruit stand.

I always like to have tomatoes and this place always has fresh and tasty tomatoes so the trip out there is worth it to me. The price on their tomatoes are always cheaper than the stores.

Loads of cucumbers, potatoes, onions and any kind of vegetables you would want.

Crates of oranges and tangerines and loads of fruit some of which I don't know the names of.
I bought banana's, hot pepper's, tomatoes and apples.

We did have the ribs that we leftover from Saturday and they tasted just as good as the day before.

After eating dinner and letting my food digest while I read the paper I was trying to fine tune the new antenna to see if I could bring in more television channels.
Nancy and I noticed with this antenna the picture on the tv is so much more clear than the antenna on top of the motorhome.  Of course this is an HD antenna but the one on the motorhome is also suppose to be HD.

We slept with the window open over our heads last night with the temperature at 68* it felt good.
The temperature at 9:00 this morning is already 78* so it will be a hot sunny day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Ball games and Ribs

Friday Nancy still wasn't feeling to good but she did get her hair cut.
On the way back home I stopped at the Winn Dixie to get a few groceries and also got a slab ribs that were on sale. They even put the type of bbq sauce on it that I wanted.  I also bought a carrot cake which I like very much.
Saturday was of course was my day to watch college basketball and football day.

I was in such a hurry I almost forgot to take a photo of the rib dinner we had of the ribs, baked beans and slaw. The ribs were tasty and with lots of meat on the bone.
There is enough leftover to have another meal today.
The temp today will be up to 83* today with a lot of sunshine and the weather person said to enjoy it because it is suppose to turn cold by the coming weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Day at home

Yesterday we were suppose to have went out to visit some our friends but Nancy wasn't feeling well .
So it was another ay of hanging around the house.  I messed around with the new over the air antenna trying the different locations to point to get different channels.  One thing I learned was you have to point it directly at the tv station or it will not pick them up.  Also it depends on the weather we're having at the time.
Today we woke up to a temperature of 53* but it will go up to around 78* before the day is over.
Nancy is going to get her hair cut today if she is feeling better we shall see.

Thanks for stoping by and have a great day.
