In Ohio again

After Nan’s mom left for Cleveland my mom drove to Clermont and spent a few days with us. I needed a part from the local Camping World, so while there it gave my mom a chance to look at the newest RVs. At the campground they play a Texas Hold Em tournament about every night. It costs $6.00 for each tournament, and they have 2 each night. Nan and I went about 4 times and cleaned up. It’s amazing how much you can bully people at the poker table when they are half blind and a little foggy upstairs.


We left Clermont and spent a couple days with my mom in Brooksville. My brother and his wife came down from D.C. in the Amtrak Autotrain so we also got a chance to visit with them and my cousin Janet from Florida. The car was loaded on the train and they took the 17 hour trip without the hassle of driving. Because I have a job in Ohio starting 2/28, Nan and I started heading north on 2/20. We arrived in Mt. Airy, NC on 2/21, left the trailer in the campground storage area for 2 months, and drove the truck to Ohio with the Smart on its back. Today I’m sitting in Chesterland, OH watching the blizzard. What a difference a week makes.

Clermont, FL




We arrived at a Thousand Trails campground a few days ago in Clermont, near Orlando. Nan's mom rented a cabin in the campground, and her brother flew down so that he could drive her home. They left for Ohio on Saturday. My mom arrived the same day. She is staying with us until Wednesday.

A couple days ago we went to a lobster buffet in Kissimmee, FL. We've also eaten at a couple of barbeque's. Nan is getting mad because she is putting on weight, and she knows I like my women skinny.

I took 3 pictures of Roxy sleeping. She likes to keep comfortable.

Swamp Buggy Ride





Today I went on a "Swamp Buggy" ride with Jan and Paul who we met in Alaska. Nan is getting over bronchitis so she stayed at home. I guess I really don't know that much about swamp buggies. This one looked a lot like an old school bus with the windows and windshield removed. We saw plenty of alligators, turtles, birds, and wild cattle that came up to the buggy for corn, just like the wild turkey did. They also had a mountain lion in a cage.

Last night I was watching the Jimmy Kimmel show. He had the following clip of a Danish Game show.
