Yesterday we found Legoland, Florida! There's a castle built of what looks like Lego blocks, and the flags look exactly like the ones in castle kits. I tried to get a picture but the sun was in the wrong place. Am I photographically challenged or what?!

We had the lovely experience of spending last night right next to the highway. NOISY! Just take note: when you pick a spot for your RV to land, make sure you're not too close to an intersection. We heard traffic All Night. Oh, well. That's what we get for staying in the parking lot at Camping World. Thank goodness we will be back at the "resort" tonight.

Not much happening right now. Laundry, dishes, cooking, maintenance, like all of you, just no working! We're still getting the towbar for the car set up. Marv is having a great time figuring stuff out. You should see his checklists every day! Just like always. I'm still floating along without any plans except to have fun.

Next week we will take off for good. Tallahassee, Dothan (AL), Red Bay (AL), Little Rock (AR), then west somewhere. We'll keep you posted and put pictures up if we ever take any decent ones.

It's Sweet Sixteen time - Go Duke!

Choices

We arrived in Florida on Sunday evening and discovered it is HOT and HUMID in Florida! Of course we knew that, but it was still a shock. We managed to get the boxes we had shipped ahead and now have sheets on our bed and more clothes.

This morning we are dealing with TV's. I know, we should be out in the wilderness camping, not watching TV, but it's time for the NCAA tournament, and Duke is a No. 1 seed! I usually tell Marv about this time "See you in April."

Tech is really interesting in an RV. We keep running out of Gigs on our phone wifi, for some reason. Apparently we are using something that takes a lot of data. So we are turning everything off as much as possible. Maybe next month will be better.

Also we have two satellites, one on the RV roof and one portable. Unfortunately, they work on different technologies! Since the rig is from 2011, so is the roof satellite. So we can either only use the portable or buy old DirecTV boxes on eBay or pay an unknown amount to cancel DirecTV and get Dish. Choices!

We plan to go to Epcot Center while we're in Florida but have to wait for a cooler day. We'll need to do some research to see what we really want to do there because there won't be time to do everything.  Suggestions are welcome! What's your favorite thing at Epcot?

Last night I was up later than Marv (as usual) reading. When I wanted to go to bed, the door to the bedroom was stuck and would only open 3 inches! Marv loved it when I woke him up to get the door open so I could go to bed.

But we're still a team!

Pictures will begin soon. We had an egret sitting on our car yesterday and I couldn't find my camera. It is lovely here and today not so hot. Maybe we'll get some pie today at Paul's, a local restaurant with fine basic food. I rate them 3 pie slices!

5 days to go - but who's counting?

It's going to be a busy week! You know how it is when you move, it all seems to come down to the last few days. Pick-up of donations, movers, the last few pieces of furniture leaving, cleaning, closing, last minute errands...But by Thursday afternoon we should be on our way.

We're looking forward to a change in the weather, that's for sure. In the last couple of weeks we've had several heavy snowstorms, including some during which we had to drive. Not fun at all, in my opinion! So we are hoping Florida is having spring already. Shorts and flip-flops - yes!

Thanks to the Brays for dinner last night. You're terrific!

Concerning camping at home

Moving into an RV means selling lots of stuff. Because we're going full-time, without a house, all the furniture has to go. The trick is timing. You need enough time to get everything sold and still have somewhere to sit.

The bedroom suite went away a couple of weeks ago, the big TV and sofa with it, and the dining room furniture left a couple of days ago. Marv has listed the rest of the chairs so pretty soon we'll be sitting on the floor as well as sleeping on it!

Those of you who have known me a while know that camping is not really my thing, which is why we bought a pretty luxurious RV. So this transition time is difficult. I'm used to having all the normal "stuff" around. Even the kitchen and pantry are looking pretty bare! Every day we pack more and use less. I guess it's good to get used to it.

Several people have called me "brave" for being willing to go along on this adventure. I don't feel brave at all! But I've been following Marv around from church to church for 40 years, so why stop now? He always brings new experiences into my life, broadening my horizons. I kvetch, but it's actually a good balance between us. The RV allows him to be in new places (outside) and lets me be in familiar places (inside).

FYI, for those of you interested in quilting, I have gotten my "stash" down to 7 plastic bins! Plus three or four of finished quilts, of course.

Back to work...
