Yesterday was back down to John Chestnut Park to do the walking. Still so cool that we had to have long pants and a light jacket on to do the walking.

The trees have small flowering blooms on them along the boardwalk portion of the trail.

Saw this woodpecker on a tree as we got on into the woods.  It was almost to far away for me to get a good shot with my point and shoot camera.
After we did our walk we stopped at the Winn Dixie  Market to get a few things.
After getting home I grilled us some pork chops while Nancy prepared the side dishes for what turned out to be a very good dinner.
Then we spent the rest of the evening doing what old people do-resting.

Same Stuff

Yesterday the wind was still cool.  Before I went outside I thought it was warm enough for short pants so I started out with them on. Once I went outside I found out that I was going to have to change and put the long pants on.  After Nancy was ready we went to the mall to do our walking.  From there it was to Walmart again for a few things.   Then it was the same old stuff watching the tv and on the computer.  I get on the computer to see if I can find coupons we can use,but most of the sites have the same coupons that they have had for months.  We watched the news last night where this guy uses coupons and he says he gets a bunch of food for free or almost free with coupons.  I have not  been able to do that well with using the coupons,but I do save a little by using them.  Maybe I'll learn the secret after I have been at it a while.

You Guessed It

If you thought I would be watching basketball again yesterday you were right.  We are now set for the "Final Four" this week-end. 
We did go to church then came home to eat what was left over from saturday.  It was a good thing we didn't eat out yesterday because after we got home to eat it came a down pour that lasted all day long. Wasn;t a good day to be out at all. 
The weather is going to gradually get warm through the week and fell more like the Florida that we have come to know.  With the warming trend we will be able to do more of te things we like to do and with the basketball season coming to an end I won't be in front of the tv as much.
With the weather that we have had this season the time here has seemed so short and its not to long until we will hit the road again.  I hope my blog will be more interesting with more photos once we get on the road. I really like taking pictures,my camera is always in my pocket just waiting for that special "Kodak Moment".

WV in Final Four

Yesterday was spent watching the basketball games again.  West Virginia had a mild upset over Kentucky which puts them in the final four.  The last time they were in a final four was in 1959 so I guess they feel like its about time.  Butler also won their game.

Flea Market Day

Yesterday we went to the USA Flea Market.  I went to get some hot peppers that I buy from time to time that I can.  Well they didn't have any so I will have to wait on those to come in and go back in a week or so.  I was talking to the produce guy about the high cost of all the produce,he didn't have any green peppers because he said the wholesale wanted to charge him $50.00 a box for them.  The cold winter season in Florida this year really just froze all the crops.

After we finished walking around in the flea market we had dinner at the "China Buffet" since I had a coupon that made the cost $4.99 each for the meal.  I like to use coupons. They have small advertising booklets in the stores. that have a bunch of coupons in them that we use.
From there we went to Big Lots where Nancy bought a few things. Then it was time to come home and get ready for the "March Madness" basketball games.  

Walking and Eating

Yesterday we went to J B Starkey Park to do some walking. We actually got in 5 miles of trail walking,that is the most we've done in a while.
I don't know if all that walking did any good because after the walk we went to the Golden Corral for the senior early bird price.  That walking sure gets you hungry.
There are a few wild flowers beginning to sprout out.

 Of course last night I watched the basketball "March Madness"playoffs.  Both of my teams won.  The bad thing is that now they will face each other on saturday.  Oh my,now who do I pull for?

Different Park

Yesterday we went walking in the Crew's Lake Park.

 The Azalea's are out in full bloom.

This is another tree lined bike trail and walkway.  They have trails all through out the park.  We had a very nice day weather wise and a very pleasent day to be outside.  It was a short pants day today.

Park Walking

Yesterday we went to John Chestnut Park again to walk.  It was a little cool by the lake but the interior it wasn't that bad.

We saw this big o'boy out on the bank. He looked to be every bit of ten feet long and very heavy.

We also saw these deer feeding on the leaves of low branches. Click on start button to see short video clip.

New Eyeglasses

Yesterday was an all day of getting new eyeglasses.  Went went to several places to compare the prices of glasses for Nancy and me they went from expensive to very expensive.  We took a break to the Golden Corral for a late lunch and discussing where we should get our glasses made.  We have always had the progressive lens with photo gray or whatever you call them now. Lenscrafters quote was a little over $800.00.  So we thought maybe the vision center in Walmart might be a little cheaper.  We were shockedwhen the price on the glasses were $1000.00 plus a few more dollars.  So we ended going to Sears Optical where they had a deal that we could each get two pair of glasses for $755.00 including our eye exam.  Needless to say we went with Sears. This took us all day and evening to do.  

Basketball is all

The whole week-end was basketball games for me.  I've really have got into "March Madness" by watching all the games that I can.  I have seen some good games and quite a few upsets.  This is the first year I can remember that so many of the lower seeds winning.  Yesterday was a day of rain for us then the weather turned a little cool once again.  I won't have ball games until thursday night so maybe we can do a little walking or other things.

Still Basketball

Still doing the same thing,watching the "March Madness" basketball games.
We did get down to the JB Starkey Wilderness Park and do some walking yesterday.  It will be quite a while before we get back into shape.
