Awake: 7:19am Temp 39 sleep 7+43 sunny overnight @ Tallahassee, FL.

We leave the Big Oak RV Park @ 9:07 am; following US-27 to I-10 to I-75 to exit 358 & then follow State Road 326 to the Wandering Oaks RV Resort & Campground in Ocala, FL arriving @ 12:14 pm.

Today’s Travel: 181 miles 3+24 time 29 gal used 6.2 mpg 53.3 avg speed.

After lunch…a shopping we will go, which means driving to downtown Ocala; fortunately the stores & mall are within a comfortable (15) min. (Toys are us) is 1st & what a huge selection we have to pick from; we cover each & every aisle without fussing. Kathy was amazed as was I. After making a few careful purchases, we checked out & proceeded to the next commercial area: “The Paddock Mall.” Big, new, busy & lots of stores.

For some odd reason, we both continue having unlimited patience with each other….not that we are sometimes impatient, but this was different: we’ve been shopping for hrs, “together” & Kathy’s not grumbling, fussing, complaining, etc about how I have to look @ anything & everything; comparing, analyzing, inspecting, touching, smelling, etc. In fact, she was so impressed with ourselves that she offered to buy us both a Starbucks & celebrate this unusual twist of fate. En route to our campground, we again test our patience by checking out a Target store. We return home @ 5:30.

Before, during & after our dinner of: leftover meat loaf with fresh gravy, leftover spaghetti & fresh 4-bean salad, we watch: ABC news, Jeopardy & the O’Reilly Factor.

Flash News! This just in on e-mail: Zack has Chuck’s blessing to marry KT. He didn’t want to call us; he has taken (3) days off of work to finish his UW masters homework.

We finish watching: “The Roaring Twenties” with James Cagney, Priscilla Lane, Humphrey Bogart, Gladys George, Jeffrey Lynn, etc. Army buddies Cagney, Bogart & Lynn find their lives intertwining dramatically after WWII ends. Cagney becomes big-time prohibition racketeer largely hackneyed script punched across by fine cast, vivid direction. 1939. Very entertaining & edge of the seat adventure; add it to your list.

Light out: 11:45pm
