Lots of activity in the campground with April 1st right around the corner. You see, April 1st is mass exodus day in Florida, the primary day that "everyone" leaves to go back home up north. A few have already left to either beat the traffic or be home in time for Easter, but by afternoon on Monday I'm sure 75% of our campground will be empty.
Tom and Jordan are down visiting Karen in her motorhome, Tom against his will ;-) We are trying to convince him to come along for at least part of our planned Alaska trip in 2014. We'll see.
Jan and I will be very busy the next couple days getting Mom's house ready to sell. Another milestone in life. David headed back up to PA to see his very ill daughter, Vicky. A lot of pressures on our family right now. Mom is adjusting to Hospice and seems much more content and with it. Funny, they tell us at the Hospice House that most people get "better" after they arrive and mom sure seems to be. More proactive care round the clock is beneficial.
We have accomplished most of the projects on our motorhome with just a couple left. The biggest being the tile in the shower stall. Jan has been scraping off and on, but it is fighting her all the way. It still has about 15% to go. We will get everything done before we leave in May.
Happy Easter everybody!

Been awhile, hasn't it?
Sorry it's been so long between posts. Not a ton of things to add, but we have been really busy.
Kelly came in for the weekend to see her Grandmother, and us. It was great to see her, just wish she had been able to bring the grandkids as well. She was able to have several good visits with her grandmother which she will be able to cherish later. My mom is getting a bit more confused as time goes by. I was able to have a very fruitful meeting with the Doctor responsible for the Hospice House where she is staying, and got her meds and some responses confirmed. I have to say the people involved and dedicated to hospice are remarkable!
We had a nice visit and delicious lunch with Steve and Bobbie, Karen, and Jan and I. They will be heading north at the first of April, as will Karen, after she stops and gets a few more items taken care of at Alliance Coach.
We got the remaining fabric replaced on the windows and door awnings. Wow, it was a lot harder than we expected. It took 3 of us on the small awnings and 4, and we could have used even more hands, on the larger ones. Girard doesn't make it easy! But we are pleased with the results.
We also received our new dining chairs, and are very happy. They are comfortable and good looking! They should last a good while.
We even managed a lobster feast one night and introduced Karen to the art of deconstructing and enjoying the "bug". Delicious!
Jason and I spent all, well almost all, of Saturday renting a trailer, driving up to Kissimmee, picking up their new mattress, and bringing it back to his house, 320 miles round trip! We followed that up with a nice dinner at his and Jessica's house with Ray and April. (Karen wasn't able to attend as she is infected with March Madness Fever and just couldn't miss the game!!)
I alluded earlier to an issue that had come up for me, and I had indicated that all was well and done. Not so as it turns out. Some further tests will be required to determine what's up. I'll keep you posted.
