Relaxing in Fort Myers

HAPPY NEW EVERYONE
We hope that the coming year will be filled with nothing but good health and happiness for all of our friends and family.

One of the first things that Sandy and I had to do when we got to Fort Myers was clean up the pickup, motorcycle and motorhome. That meant while Sandy was busy scrubbing the inside, I was busy cleaning the outside. When we think about this cleaning project we both agree that it would be nice to have the 26 foot Lazy Daze again.
Here Sandy caught me actually working, LOOK AT THAT SHINE!


One morning Sandy took the garbage to the compacter and came across this golf cart. Sandy just had to take a picture because we have a friend, Jerry, who worked at the Ford Plant in St. Paul for over 40 years.





On Tuesday, Fred, a full-time RV friend of ours from Minnesota, stopped by around noon and we went to lunch and got caught up on events since we last saw each other. When we got back to the motorhome we started to look for a lot to rent for January and February. There were a few open for January but not February. We eventually found one that we have to rent for 3 months so we will stay until the middle of March before we head to Savanna, GA.

Here is a night-time picture looking to the north from Dale and Mary's lot.

We celebrated New Years Eve here at Cypress Woods. Dale and Mary had given us their tickets and we sat at a table with Bob and Brenda, friends from Minnesota, and 3 other couples who have lots near them. The theme of the party was "Margartaville". We had a great time and I even danced (?) some. They had a DJ, gave out prizes and the JUGS (Just Us Gals) did a dance routine.

After they were done, Captain Morgan came by to offer them some refreshments and they seemed to be happy about that.








Here are Bob and Brenda dancing to a country song. I’m sorry about the poor quality picture, but it shows that they are having fun.








After we celebrated three New Year Eves (Buenos Aires, Argentina; New Brunswick, Nova Scotia; and New York City) it was time to head home. We only had a block to walk back to the motorhome so dodging all the golf carts was not too bad. Although for safety reasons, I think they should make them sound like a diesel pickup truck so they don't come sneaking up on you.

Until next time,
Dave and Sandy

Happy New Year! Knew you'd miss that LD one day. Stay warm. Lots like it's going to be a bit chilly down your way.

Okay, I can't erase and correct the spelling error. Read before you send. I meant, "Looks like it's going to be a bit chilly down your way." You get the message. Brrr. Stay warm.
