Still on the road.........

Ok, so the first day in Brandon was great.  Peter & Paul went to the RV show, Erika went to work, the kids went to day care and I got to "lounge" around at Erika's house. Lounge = 3 loads of our laundry, 2 loads of Erika's laundry, cooking Corned Beef for dinner and feeling just plain miserable. Oh well!

Had a great evening with the family and Paul's Mom & Dad.  Corn Beef was wonderful,  cheesecake brownies that Claire and I made, not so great!

Saturday, Claire went to Grandma Bellands, and the rest of us set out to the RV Show.  It is massive.  Way too much to take in on a one day trip.  But one day is all I wanted.  Feeling pretty awful, but such a sport traipsing all over the "Florida State Fair Grounds". I love my Motor Home, I don't need to look at 50 that are too expensive.  Let's just go home!!!!!

Sunday, everyone at our place.  Baby back ribs, beer, homemade potato salad, corn on the cob & Hot Fudge Sundaes.....life is good.  A good time had by all.

Monday, so many plans, but all feeling so yucky!!!!!!  Erika and I got a pedicure, the guys worked on our rig. No one is feeling good today.  By evening, Claire had a 103 temp, Elliot was coughing with a runny nose,   Peter & I felt like crap.  Happy Retirement!!!

Tuesday I "babysat" my two sick grandchildren. It was ok!  I could get used to it, with a little training.  Changing diapers is a lost art, especially on a boy, (never had a boy)!

Once we got home, and had a chance to look back at the weekend, we are soooo very excited about living closer so we can help out with the Grandkids!

We have been battling our chest congestion and cough, but are feeling better. 

You may think this is strange or stupid, but today, I did our laundry at the little outdoor laundry area.  Do you know how nice it is to sit outside with your tablet, getting a tan while your laundry is washing and drying? Not being in a hurry is so strange!!!!!  Our bags are now packed as tomorrow we are leaving  on a 7 night cruise on Celebrity Silhouette.  We are so looking forward to it. Not planning to take any excursions, just stay on the ship and relax.  There is nothing more relaxing than a cruise!!!!!

When  we return, we will get all our "year end" bookkeeping done and file our taxes.  Once that is done there is nothing keeping us in Miami.  Our next destination is Lakeland Florida.  We will move there on March 1.  It is right in between Erika and Julie.  So life should be totally full of family!!!!!

More from the Caribbean next week!!!!
