Saturday, Nov 25 … A little warmer today but the wind is still blowing. Drove to Fort Pierce to pick up an Airborne shipment. We checked out the beach in Ft. Pierce but it was still a bit cool & windy to hang out there. Mike put the wheel back on his bike so we are in business again. Tomorrow we head out again. We drive about 78 miles to Clewiston.
Friday, Nov 24 … A sunny but windy day. Dixie did a haircut for a neighbor from NY. We drove to the beach but the wind and clouds made it an undesirable place. We found a park bench and read our books for over an hour. We then drove into Jensen Beach and picked up my bike wheel that I had fixed. Next stop was Conchy Joe’s, a restaurant for happy hour and free food. The fried clams and the crab salad were very good.
Thursday, Nov 23 … THANKSGIVING DAY!! We have much to be thankful for, our health and loving family just to name two. We visited with many of our family members today via the cell phone. At 2:00 we went to the park club house for a Thanksgiving feast. They furnished the turkey; one baked and one fried. The rest of us brought a dish. The food was excellent! We met and talked with a nice couple from Maine. We learned that we’ll see them again at our next rv park in Clewiston, FL. They are seasoned rv’ers and know FL well.

Happy Thanksgiving from Port St. Lucie, FL
Wednesday, 22 ... Cold & Windy again! Where's our Sunny Florida weather? - we haven't been to the beach yet at this location. We took Mike's bike wheel to the repair shop to fix the bearings....not sure what happened to our bikes! We will be having Thanksgiving dinner at the RV park clubhouse with fellow RV'ers. The park is providing the turkey and the rest of us will bring a side dish. Another holiday without family (the one down side to traveling).
Tuesday, Nov 21 ... Another cold & windy day in FL. woke up to 41 degrees -- burr! Caught up on some computer work & putting the Christmas letter together.
Monday, Nov 20 … A cool, breezy day so decided to do laundry this morning. Dixie bought a new bike. Of course then we had to take a ride!
Sunday, Nov 19 … A little more store hopping today. Spent the early afternoon outside in cool but sunny temps reading the newspaper. Later, we drove about 30 miles to Jupiter and met some CO friends from Fort Lauderdale for dinner at the Crab House.
Saturday, Nov 18 … Did a lot of store hopping “shopping” today. Put a for sale sign on Dixie’s bike before we left. When we returned, a couple across from us wanted to buy it. What luck!
Friday, Nov 17 … Today is sunny but much cooler. In the a.m. we walked for about ½ hour around the neighborhood. There are lot’s of stores in this highly populated area.
Thursday, Nov 16 … On a warm cloudy day with a threat of rain, we took a drive to see the area. We drove over to Hutchinson island just across the intercoastal waterway. It's a nice area with several high rise condo buildings overlooking the ocean. We have some friends that own one but they our out of state for the holiday. At a public beach access area, we watched several young guys trying to catch a wave on small “boogy” boards.
Wednesday, Nov 15 … Drove 40 miles down the road to Port St. Lucie, another atlantic coastly town. We’ll be at this park for a record 11 days. The park is small but the sites are adequate with level back-in concrete pads with a patio and table. We went to the pool for awhile because the weather is supposed to turn cooler tonight and for the next three days.

Tuesday, Nov 14 … Move day tomorrow so began the process of putting away stuff for travel the 50 miles to Port St. Lucie. We drove to the Sebastian Inlet State Park this afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny calm day (temp 78) so there were many people out fishing in boats and on the pier. We got a glimpse of a Bottlenose Dolphin and possibly a Manatee. We also walked quite a bit along the waters edge. Walking in sandals was not a good thing and our legs were aching later.
Monday, Nov 13 … A cool morning .. Even had to run the furnace to take the chill out. Dixie had another Dr. appointment at 2:15. Mike worked on the rewiring of the cable from the mh to the tow car. With a test light we determined I had done it correctly and now we have tow lights again.
Sunday, Nov 12 … Walked and rode bikes during the day. Went to the grocery store later in the day.
Saturday, Nov 11 … Veteran’s Day. Went to the beach. It was nice for a while but the weather turned cool at about 2:00p.m. so we came home.
Friday, Nov 10 … It’s someone’s birthday today (Mike). It’s also the birthday of the United States Marine Corp. Semper Fi. We went to the pool at about 1100a. for a couple of hours. We drove to Vero Beach for an early dinner at Mulligan’s Beach Grill. It was definitely on the beach. The temp was about 78 so we ate outside with a beautiful view of the Atlantic ocean. We ordered Mahi Mahi & ribeye steak which we divided so we could each have a bit of both. The food and service was outstanding. A great ending to a wonderful birthday.
Thursday, Nov 9 … Dixie went to a local Chiropractor in an effort to get relief from headaches and numbness in her hands. After the appointment, we found access to the public beach in Vero Beach. Boy, are there a lot of expensive homes and condo’s along the water. Why are we surprised because we’ve seen many of them since entering the great state of FL.
Wednesday, Nov 8 … Travel day today but only after we had Jim Guld of www.geeksontour.com work for over two hours on our laptop computer. It was sick to say the least. Jim found (and deleted) several viruses and corrupted files. We can’t thank you enough, Jim. It’s now running like a fine Swiss watch. The 108 miles to Vero Beach was uneventful … just the way we like it. The Sunshine RV resort of Vero Beach is a good park. The office gave us a site that was very near I-95. (You could see the cars and trucks whizzing by.) I asked for another site on the other side of the park and farther away from the freeway and lo and behold the lady gave us one. It’s much quieter plus we have nice neighbors.

Wauchula, FL
Nov 1 - 7..... We drove the 50 miles to Wauchula, FL (south of Lakeland & east of Tampa. It's just a small town so not much around to do. We spent the week walking, biking, exercising, reading and relaxing. Only managed to get one day in at the pool as the weather has been kinda windy and we had rain today. Seems like we have to make a trip to the grocery store or a Walmart every other day - not sure what's up with that as we didn't do that when we were working! One unique thing about this area is the "Turkey Buzzards". In the late afternoons there are hundreds of them flying overhead. We have never seen so many birds flying at one time! I took several photo's but your can't really see what it looks like. Tomorrow we hit the road again - next stop is Vero Beach on the east coast of FL.
