Yesterday was roof washing day, to say it was in need of a good cleaning would be a gross understatement, around the air units, under the solar panels, and under the Traveler (our mounted satellite dish) were almost black because of the moisture from the dew and the dust from being a reasonably new campground (lack of grass between sites) as well as the condensation from the air conditioners made it quite a mess. Nothing a couple of hours and a little elbow grease couldn’t take care of. Only major problem all that dirty water has run down the sides of the coach so now I need to wash the sides of the coach in fact I got the drivers side done in the afternoon, really need to put some wax on the coach as well, but I don’t see it happening before the trip back.

Was a busy day with many rigs pulling out, we spent the a few hours in the pool, with a adult beverage or two watching the exodus, thinking how busy the highways will be and having seen all the photos of the fresh snow back in Ontario glad we are a week away from heading north. I have started to prepare by getting the tow bar mounted on Sport-Trac and the lights all set up, I replaced all the pool noodles on the kayak rack after a busy year with many excursions they were starting to fall apart.

Made our way around the lake for cocktails with the Bannon’s after dinner (hot turkey sandwiches) one of my favourites, Bob and Shari now are our only friends left on the lake, played a few games of euchre (was not my night!), got a text from the Wards they have made it to Kentucky, only three, thirty minute traffic delays so Butch and Betty will be home safe and sound in Ohio tomorrow with any luck.

Started to send out some invitations to the blog yesterday so we are seeing some being accepted, and I know some people are on the road traveling so it could be a day or two before I hear back, I’m sure it’s not because they don’t want to see what we’re up to.

Well all I can say is that the best intentions can be derailed by the smallest things. It has been an unbelievable winter in LaBelle Florida, this is the longest we have stayed in one location (four months), I discovered pickle ball, we have made and lost some great new friends (rest in piece Joe), got a lot of use from our kayaks with many adventures, many days in the pool, good food, good drinks (Brandy Alexander’s – thanks Butch) and last but not lease GREAT friends.

Today is a special day in camp by the end of today sixty rigs will have left in the last few days, we will be able to officially see Bob and Shari’s coach across the lake. We have another week to prepare for our departure, I have started washing the coach roof which is definitely in need of it, just can’t talk my self into paying someone ten dollars a foot to wash and wax it…my Scottish back ground won’t allow it.

We are heading back home a little quicker than expected as we have a work camping job for the season co-managing a campground with another couple and we need to start April 23. Hoping to visit friends and family before starting, so we are aiming to be in the Niagara area around the 15th heading to our job on the 22nd.

So you can see there are a lot of thing to explain and report on, and as many of you know Laurie has keep everyone one up to date on our Facebook page, but we have discovered that many friends are not Facebook users for various reasons, so we are going to start a blog, to keep everyone updated, I will try to post regularly but life will control how often, I had created this blog a few months ago with great intentions, so we will see what happens.
