Monday - January 13

Busy day for the nomads.....Mark lifted weights, I organized some closets and then we left at 10:15 for Clewiston (1 hr. 10 min trip).     We met our Okeechobee RV friends at Roland Martin's Marina and tiki hut (1/2 way for all of us) and had an awesome lunch and visit.     Miss these dear friends and had fun catching up with what's going on at Water's Edge, their families, etc.     We girls shopped in the wonderful marina boutique - lots of cute clothes and a favorite place.    No purchases for me - Sue H bought a pair of shorts.

We're looking forward to seeing them again when we head over their way (Okeechobee/Stuart) in late January.

When we had our yearly check-ups in December, we talked to Dr. Pilcher about getting the shingles shot.....the vaccine has not been available for a long time, but now lots of it and so....we've been asking at CVS when someone would be there to inject us.    Either no one was available when we were there, or they ran out of the vaccine but more coming tomorrow and on and on....after hitting 3 different CVS stores today, we got the shots at the 3rd place along with several others waiting.     We were there 1 hour.....and each shot was $159.48 (Medicare does not pay)!    Ouch!   

While waiting, we visited with Joanne, our neighbor here from Asheville who we also saw at the movie last night.     She was telling that she did not feel good the day after her shingles shot.    Dr. Pilcher had warned us that there could be some icky side effects, so.....we shall see!

The 2nd CVS we went today had a bunch of Christmas wrapping paper at 90% off.....wow, what a deal!    I didn't really need any as I had a lot left over, but 90% off????    So, I bought 6 large rolls for $3.58.    I can store in the she shed, so, no storage problem!

It was another record-setting day in Fort Myers - 87 when the average this time of year is 74.
