I absolutely love stopping by small cafe’s, greasy spoons, or small, out-of-the-way eateries that offer more than good food……but a bevy of eye candy. Such was the case the other day when we took a motorcycle trip on the way to Boca Raton to see my aunt. Not only are these places a throwback to [...]
I almost always give good advice. If I don’t know something to be true, I’ll usually not state it. I give it often to my children, much to their dismay. I have given it to colleagues and co-workers in hopes of making their lives a little better. I’ll even offer it to a copper statue [...]
[ad] Cherie Kelley and her husband Warren love their Harleys, traveling and tinkering with them and good company. We met these lovely northern neighbors last week at the Valentines Party. Since then we’ve become fast friends with these Cannucks and find them genuine and interesting. Both the Kelleys are recent retirees after a career in [...]
Yesterday was a bit chilly so instead of heading for the pool we decided to make a trip into Ocala. This was due mostly to the fact that Robin was in need of a “chuchkies” (bric a brac) fix for the motorhome. We found this neat store called Hobbylobby which is a combination of Michaels and [...]
[ad] I’ve been wanting to do some sightseeing for the past couple of days. I can only take so much of laying at the pool, going for walks, and reading. So it was decided that we would head up toward the Ocala National Forest to visit Silver River State Park. I had been talking to [...]
Our campground hosted a Valentine’s Day Party last evening in the clubhouse. The food was great and the camaraderie was even better. Toni from Chicago was the headliner and provided some great entertainment. We had too much to drink, too much fun, and acted too much like youngsters. Nothing new here. So instead of dwelling [...]
A few days ago we met Sandra and Larry from Virginia. In fact, they had some heater problems and while the nights were still a bit chilly we lent them one of our ceramic heaters to take the chill off the evening air. We exchanged pleasantries and backgrounds, finding that both of us had something [...]
[ad] We had just returned from a round of golf. There, parked next to us, was a small Casita trailer being towed by a Jeep Commando. Before they had a chance to fully set up, I put on my best GypsyLarry face and welcomed them to the neighborhood. That was the beginning of a pleasant [...]
I must confess. I was a bit tentative about this retirement thing. I didn’t work for 35 years because I had to. I didn’t always have something extra going on because I needed the money that bad. I did it because I needed to work, to feel productive in my own mind, regardless of [...]
We’ve spent a lot of time the past couple of days just cruising around. In fact, I find that to be a major part of my entertainment. Robin thinks I have bugs in my pants, always wanting to run around as she says. But the fact is that I find it much like shopping. [...]
