Today we delivered Daisy and Toad to their new home in Englewood! We sold them to first couple who came to look and we hope Scott and Kathy will enjoy Daisy as much as we have
these past 12 years and Toad (almost 4 years).
Miss Daisy
I had a few tears as we said good bye, but we have many wonderful memories of traveling around the country with Oregon the only state we did not get to with Daisy!
It's been a whirlwind past few days.....
Thursday - finished the emptying out of Daisy and getting Flo all set up. Picked up a rental car which I (we) will drive for the 6 weeks we are in Fort Myers. In the afternoon we took Daisy to storage in Cape Coral and around 5, boating friends, Paula and Glenn, Fred and Jeanne came to see Flo, have drinks and then we had dinner at Capone's in downtown.

Friday - we met Steve, at 8:15 in Cape Coral to give some directions for detailing Daisy. Then we were off to Venice - did a little shopping downtown including a stop at Angelo's Italian Market which is where Steve (the detailer) told us his uncle worked. What a neat place with wine, cheeses, meats, gourmet foods and pastries. And it's one of the top Italian restaurants in Venice!!!
Arrived at Carol and Bob's home around 10:40 and Mark and Barbara were just ahead of us. We all boated in Racine on E-12 many years ago. Fun catching up as Mark, Barbara and we are no longer there. So we got the Racine scoop from Bob and Carol and reminisced from long ago. We ate lunch at Café Venice which was wonderful (new place for us). We left shortly after as we wanted to check on how Daisy "cleaned up". We were very happy - Daisy was pristine and glowing!
Carol, Bob, Mark, Mark, Pat, Barbara
Back to Flo and got ready for next guests (Sue and Jerry, Ruth and Gerry). We gals are all Monday Night Friends and Ruth and Gerry have been in Fort Myers this past week. So fun to be together and after drinks on Flo, we enjoyed dinner at The Hut, about 5 miles away (another new place and very good). Said our good byes.....we'll see Sue and Jerry next week, but not till May
for Ruth and Gerry.

Saturday - this was the big day to say good bye to Daisy....
Scott and Kathy with their new home!
We spent 4.5 hours going over everything inside and outside. Back to Flo at 5:15, gathered the laundry and tackled that job. Had leftovers for supper (boxes and cartons were starting to accumulate) and now winding down. This has been a productive but busy, exhausting week.
Mark's shingles rash is starting to fade but still sore in his mid section.
And so that's the latest from 2 tired nomads!!!
Nighty night!
