Sun., Jan 20/13

Charlotte made a great Sunday brunch in the RV then we headed out to Jo-Ann Fabrics to both use the 30% coupon she received when she made her last purchase there.

Our decision was to go to a Jo-Ann's in Kissimmee, FL as it is just a short distance from the 192 Flea Market. It is billed as one of the oldest and best flea markets in Central Florida area. The flea market is open 7 days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. rain or shine. It has over 400 dealer booths and millions of items for one to choose from under one roof. It also provides free parking and admission.

Although I did make purchases (sunglass clip-ons and socks) at the flea market, the market itself was a big disappointment. Every series of booths repeated what the previous booths had on display. After the first half dozen booths it was basically just more of the same.

At Jo-Ann's, Charlotte went into get the materials necessary to make another quilt. Choosing is always a problem when there are so many fabric colours and patterns. The process took an hour. She also picked up some wool to crochet (a quilt).

I spent most of the time trying to find a position for the new GPS. The screen is so reflective that with the top off and the sun came out it was virtually impossible to see properly.I hope the new position will work out otherwise, despite all its great feature I will be returning it within the 30 day limit.

We decided on an early supper considering we only had brunch. Thankfully along US-192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy) high signage is allowed otherwise there would be chaos in the three lanes of wall-to-wall 45 mph traffic which consists mostly of confused tourists.

Virtually every chain restaurant and all kinds of independents are on both sides of US-192. One good feature, if you have a map and directions is that their are lettered "Markers" that designated sections. At least if you know what section (marker) your destination is located in it makes it easier to find.

Our decision was to eat at Golden Corral. It is not that we want to "pig-out" at the buffet. It is the opposite. We can't eat as much as we used to in our "younger days". We just want to be able to choose what we like and the portions we want to eat. We don't do the expensive buffets, like seafood, as we can't eat that much $$ worth of food anymore. Golden Buffet is reasonably priced and the selection is good. We did enjoy the meal and did not overeat.

After supper the traffic was steady and moving freely as we headed home (RV). We were back in a little over a half hour.

I settled in to catch the Baltimore (Ravens) vs New England (Patriots) NFL playoff game to see who would meet the San Francisco 49ers (decided earlier today) in the Super Bowl. I'm cheering for the underdogs, the Ravens. Currently, they are leading 28-13.

Charlotte laid out her quilt on the RV floor so that she could pin it for the final quilting. It's going to look great!

Although we didn't really do a lot today, all the fresh air (top off) driving in the cooler weather has tired us a bit. This means we will be "hitting the sack" a bit earlier than usual.
