Awake: 7:33am Temp 69 sleep 7+13 sunny overnight @ Fort Lauderdale, FL.
K & I organize our home-on-wheels for visitors. @ 9:55am, Judy & Jerry with friends Glen & Cheryl, Kathy & Mary pay us a visit & tour our motorhome...inside & outside. These guys all have yachts, except Mary, & they are curious to compare their boat yacht to our land yacht..... & it's true, some of the systems are comparable; we go by land & they go by sea.
Next, the (7) of us walk some of the campground,s yacht boardwalk; admiring the different types & sizes of these vessels. After a good (40) min of yacht sighting, Judy rides with us in our Suzuki & the rest follow in Jerry's car to the Sample Flea Market near Pompano Beach, a (20) min drive.
This, so called Flea Market, is more like a huge Mall, long aisles & aisles of different things, mostly for the ladies. K & I separate from the rest of the gang &, before long, due to skipping breakfast, our stomachs led us to the food court where we shared a stuffed Rubin Sandwich from the 1st Avenue Deli; it really hit the spot. Judy & I played phone tag & rendezvoused several times until we felt we had seen enough of the Mall; then we met in the parking lot for pictures & to say our Bon Voyage, have a fun cruise, & let's keep in touch. It was grand seeing Judy & Jerry & getting to know their friends a little from Ohio.
Next K & I visit the nearby Costco & Wal-Mart & then continue further south & auto tour Fort Lauderdale Beach, where lots of sidewalk cafés line the streets & the beaches are littered with brown bodies. Returning to our campsite was ill timed as we were right smack in the middle of rush-hour.
Dinner: leftover Italian sausage, sautéed peppers, broccoli, mixed salad & whole grain bread. Before & during dinner, we watch: ABC news & Jeopardy. After dinner, Katrina calls: she's been very busy as usual; doing fine, etc but has a question for our nurse. Seems she has found some enlarged axillary lymph nodes & wants to know what she should do. Kathy asks a few questions & recommends she be evaluated by a doctor.
Tonight's movie: "Jewel Robbery" with William Powell, Kay Francis, Hardie Albright, Henry Kolker, etc. Lubitsch-like bauble with wealthy, married Francis (who aches for excitement in her life) being captivated by debonair burglar Powell; breathlessly paced, witty & charming. 1932. Short story & very entertaining; it was great!
Lights out: 12:45am
