Our Location today is Crystal River, Florida.
When we woke to a mild chill in the trailer this morning and
it didn’t take long to turn on the cube heater. At breakfast we watched the
Weather Network it showed us we were already at the daytime high of 43 F (6 C)
and the only change we’d see today was the scattered showers we’d get
throughout the day.
Turning on the MiFi this morning felt unusually easy as it
worked the way that it was supposed to. Recovering from the long day we had
yesterday we took our time catching up on all the blogs we follow. We talked of
doing some walking around some stores for exercise and to shop around for
something unique to fit the theme for the outside of our trailer.
The first place we looked was Big Lots since we were
fortunate to have found our Willow Tree there. We did find another set of rope
lights for the Gazebo as the sets we have didn’t light it as much as I wanted
and the best part was they were only 40% off what I paid back home. When we walked
outside we noted there had been a heavy rain while we were inside the store.
The next place was at the Big Kmart where again our search
continued but we walked everywhere more for the exercise. Kathy did find a new
Hoodie as her’s was starting to show some wear and wasn’t keeping her warm
anymore. We stopped for a piece of Key-Lime pie before continuing our walk
around the Crystal River Mall. Some of the shops that had not been open the
last time we were there had customers coming and going. When we decided to
leave the mall it looked like there had been a tropical storm with all the
water laying on the asphalt it looked like a lake.
We decided to go to Home Depot to continue our search but on
route we made a quick stop at Harbor Freight. I had left my magnetic nut
drivers back home in my large tool box and I’ll be needing them. I bought a nine
piece set for less than what it would have cost for a single one at Home Depot.
Finally arriving at Home Depot we looked in the outdoor
section only to be disappointed in the selection they had in stock. Then like
last year it donned on Kathy that it is still winter even down here in Florida.
For the third time today we came out to a very wet parking lot so we figured it
was time to head back to the trailer.
Since it was nearing 5:00 I fired up the Weber Q and grilled
a nice Farmers Sausage while Kathy put together a nice Asian style salad and
Amish style potato salads for the sides. We were very satisfied and we still
have more for another meal.

Seems a little chilly to be swimming with the Manatees, but have fun anyway.
