Monday - 4 Jan/16

The rain passed overnight. Sunny and back up to the low 60's F which will increase to almost 80 F by the weekend. It is still breezy; but the humidity is down to 50%.

Nothing out of the ordinary planned for today. This is our 3rd year here at OMS and we have been venturing to Florida since the 70's. There isn't much we haven't seen; but there are still a few attractions on the list. We are slowly merging into a "Retiree" style of living.

Charlotte made a "Garbage Run". There is no garbage pickup at OMS. A trash compactor and recycling bins are near the Rec Hall just one street over from our site. Chatting with our new neighbour we now know he is a "Yooper" (Upper Michigan) and he came here from another area park.

Charlotte was then off to Crafts for 1 p.m. making a post office stop on the way.

I did some re-organizing - a forever task in an RV.

I also spent time on the internet (working well today) checking out the upcoming shows at the "Orange Blossom Opry" in Wiersdale, FL.

This showplace is a small, theater style venue that features great "Country" acts in an alcohol and smoke free environment. Bonus: its only 20 miles from here on the "Slow" roads.

I picked up tickets for Jerry Lewis and The Playboys; The Drifters (we previously saw then in Las Vegas, NV) and BritBeat (Beatles Tribute Show). We passed on Bill Haley Jr. and The Comets and The Diamonds. We have seen both groups in visits to Branson, MO. We now have a full variety of shows on our schedule to keep us busy until our quick home trip in mid-February.

The tickets were printout out and the pages then folded in half and lined up, in order by date, along the top of the living room slide out.

Charlotte arrived back from crafts prior to 4 p.m. She enjoyed the brisk feeling in the air. A welcome change from the 80+ temps of last month. There were 2 projects today. The first was cutting Greeting Cards to make a gift box.

The process makes the front of the card into the top of the box.

The inside wording becomes the bottom of the box. Neat!

Project 2 was crocheting a can or bottle holder. Charlotte stopped at "Can" height. She was trying to decide if she would continue to "Bottle" height or not.

Bottle height was the final decision.

Supper was Marie Callender Turkey Pot Pies w/(leftover)peas.

The usual TV night finished the day.
