THANKSGIVING DAY

This has been a very busy Day.  Starting with the day at 7:30am.  I thought I had slept in at least that was my intention. lol.   I will definitely be going to exercise in the morning.  I had way too much to eat today.  The owner of our park provided the turkey and all the trimmings.  I made my mac n cheese and someone actually liked it, I didn't have but about 2 servings to bring home with me.  People from the RV park kept knocking on my door to let me know I was invited to the dinner and I didn't have to bring anything. Some of the people were going to save me a seat and provide my plate and silverware but my friend had already done that.  I guess people show up early and choose their seats and save them. I'll learn, lol.

FLORIDA ROOM

After exercise, I went to the Senior Enrichment Center where I have been having lunch daily now.  When I arrived there today they were having a sing-a-long so I joined them with my beautiful non-singing voice.  After lunch, I watched a video of a dance lesson on how to do the Tango.  Tried to do some of the steps. That sure brought my memory back to my college days when I took a dance class in the Physical Education department.  Found out some of my physical attributes were a little different than most of my classmates. Seems I turned out to have some extra feet to work with.  It certainly is not as easy as it looks when the professionals dance. When I arrived home, my floor in the Florida Room was painted and dry.  The ugliest dark brown I could imagine is now on the floor.  I was hoping for some light color like sea blue or flamingo pink or ocean green.  I will just have to do some faux finish  or paint a mural on my floor. Something to look like Florida. After all I am in Florida.

EXERCISE BEFORE THANKSGIVING

I had been invited to do exercise with some of the ladies at the RV park where I used to live.  This was the morning I started, since I had to set my alarm early anyway because my floor in the Florida room was getting painted (cement floor).  So I headed out to the exercise class, the very one I taught when I lived there. they had some more machines  and only one was just doing some dance moves to classical music, so it seemed to be a self motivated class on an individual basis.  I was told they do it a little like curves and go from machine to machine. One of the ladies was telling me that what I had taught them in class was the same thing she did in rehab after her hip surgery.  That made me feel good.  The class is Mon., Wed., and Fri.  Believe it or not, I felt really good after doing all that exercise. So I will be going there even though it means I have to set my alarm so I get up at 8a.m. and be there by 9a.m., no more sleeping in for me.

BINGO..........

I can't believe I played bingo last night.  I am just a block from the clubhouse.  Everything is within easy walking distance from my RV.  There is a store in the office building that keeps the necessities. It is definitely a Company Store-prices are about triple of what they would be if you bought the same article in a store.  The laundry is pretty nice.  I have an umbrella clothes hanger in my yard so I hung them out and there was a nice breeze and they dried very fast and no wrinkles, so I did my green duty for that day.  It cost $1.75 to wash my clothes-one load.  By the way, I did win at Bingo.  I just won enough to replace the money I paid for my cards.  They have several jackpots to go along with the bingo cards.  Today, I am going shopping for food and things I need. 

ACTIVITIES .............

I am settled into a rented recreational vehicle now for the past week, better known as an RV.  There is a lot going on in this RV park.  They celebrate everything including anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, there is a heated pool year round, they have decorated golf cart parades, bingo, and crafts, pot lucks, dances, New Years dinner, bingo and street dances.  That is just the seasonal activities.  Year round is pool tables, recreational room with tv, I noticed they also have air hockey, swimming pool, playground, basketball, adult hall wih BBQ, and shuffle board courts.  Within a driving distance for a day trip is Weeki Wachee, Rogers Christmas House, Museum, Boyette's Grove, Homosassa Springs (home of the Manatee) Wildlife Park, Tarpon Springs (sponges, deep sea fishing), Busch Gardens, Leggo Land, (new theme Park now open), Adventure Island, Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, Silver Springs,  Spring Hill Botanical Gardens. Lots to do here.  There are nice paved narrow streets (without traffic) to walk on or drive a golf cart on or bicycle.
