Thursday - March 13

 We were up early and pulling out of Lot 288 at Sanlan at 7:10 today.    Lots of traffic (we really think the Lakeland traffic is as bad as Fort Myers)!   😕

Arrived at Truma and Mark did an excellent job of backing Flo into a narrow garage - Dave was waiting for us and praised Mark for his backing-up skills!   Mark and Dave went over everything and Dave said he would be done by we left for Bob and Linda's.   Arrived at 8:30 and left shortly after with Bob driving to pick up Ron and off to Athenian's for breakfast.   Vicki had PT so not able to join us.   Great breakfast!   

Back to Bob's - Linda and I played RummiKub (I won) and then they were  off - Linda to play cards with the ladies and Bob to ride in the golf cart with the guys (he still needs to wait a few weeks after his gallbladder surgery till he can hit the ball).    Said our good byes and look forward to their visit to Fort Myers in April.

Serious game of RummiKub

Off to Ron and Vicki's.....we visited for an hour and then left for Truma at 1:45.   We had just left a few minutes when Dave called and said he was wrapping up the work on Flo.   Perfect timing....Dave talked Mark thru what he had done, the efficiency of this new water heater, etc., etc.  

Ron's cute little cart (formerly a lawnmower) he uses to get around the park and do his many projects!

We arrived back to CT at 5.   Got Flo settled (another fine back-up job by Mark).   There's always tomorrow to finish getting all our stuff back in order,    We are tired, so no euchre for us tonight.

Leftovers tonight from Harry's - so much delicious eating these past 3 days!   🐷🐷🐷

We had this visit to Lakeland planned quite awhile, but what are the odds that Lakeland is where we could get a new hot water heater (only service center besides Elkhart, IN and Phoenix, AZ)!!!   

Jim and Lydia stopped by with an order of crab rangoon from Pincher's - wow.....these guys are OK as we ALL love this yummy appetizer.   Great news for Lydia - today she went to a spine doctor in Naples.    After all the pain and discomfort and agony she's been thru for such a long time.....there is a light at the end of the tunnel.    She's to have a hip replacement next Friday, the 21st and then spine surgery on May 27th.    We wish her all the best!🙏🙏
