Awake: 7:42am Temp 60 sleep 7+45 sunny, breezy overnight @ Frostproof, FL.
Gary C. calls us on his cell phone & I am honored to be taking this call; we had planned on a visit with him & Rosemary @ their new found campground in Wauchula @ 2:00pm today. Gary’s call was to change the time to be there @ 1:00pm & I approved of this request.
After Gary’s call, we both dedicate ourselves to more campground hunting this morning. Late morning after a good hr of this, our options are finally beginning to lead us into making a decision: Kathy’s call to reserve a campground site in Punta Gorda will hopefully give us a reasonable campsite for a reasonable price near the area where we can easily access the people we want to visit & the things we would like to see.
G & R have found a sensible & logical campground in Wauchula where they will hang out until Feb 1st & use their truck to visit areas of interest before moving on to Ocala for another month. G & R gave us a nice tour of the clubhouse to start with; then we walk the campground seeing the outdoor shuffle board, swimming pool & horseshoe playing court. A very clean, organized & laid out campground it is; we can easily see why they like this area, especially being near a town which has so many services.
The cool winds picked up making our sun bathing outside a little uncomfortable, so we moved inside their RV for more gab time with wine, a cheese assortment, sausage, & crackers. Around 5:15, we say our goodbyes again & wish each other safe travels & fun times here & in our respective travels.
En Route to our Frostproof campground, we make a stop @ the Sweetbay Supermarket for some libation to help celebrate Obama’s Inauguration tomorrow night; plus a stop for a new set of wiper blades for our Suzuki & a stop to top off the Suzuki’s fuel tank @ Wal-Mart with (13.8) gal @ $1.81 per gallon.
Dinner: Power burger with onions, asparagus, noodles & some crudités.
Tonight’s movie: “Emma” with Marie Dressler, Richard Cromwell, Jean Hersholt, Myrna Loy, Johmn Miljan, etc. Dressler is @ her best, as down-to-earth woman who works as housemaid-nanny for family & eventually marries widowed father (Hersholt). Sentimental movie never cloys, thanks to wonderful Marie. 1932. No young handsome guys or Hitchcock mystery murders to keep Kathy alert so other methods were adapted.
Lights out: 12:05am
