A Nice Day in Paradise

(Wauchula, FL) - Hi 75 Lo 48 -- We stayed warmer last night with the heater alternating between the heat pump and the furnace.  It turned out to be a beautiful day.  One of our propane tanks was empty today, so we combined a grocery shopping trip with a propane fill-up.  On the way we stopped at Burger King for lunch.  Jim saw a commercial for a new burger that has cheddar cheese and jalapenos mixed inside the meat.  He loves slightly spicy foods, so he had to try that.  He said it was really good.  We used to feel guilty about eating at fast food places, but not any more.  We eat out so seldom now that we have fast food no more than about once a week.  Mostly we eat a ham sandwich or some soup in the rig for lunch.  So we now really enjoy the occasional high-fat fast food lunch.  :)

It got cloudy and a little cooler by the time we got home. After we unloaded the groceries we went for our walks.  I like to see what's new in the park.  The puzzle I got out yesterday and several of us worked on is done.  I'm waiting to see if anyone starts another one.  If not I will, but next time an easier one.  We have some excellent "puzzlers" here in the park.  One lady I met says she does a 1,000-piece puzzle in one day by herself.

There's still people coming in, and a few have left.  I counted 19 empty spaces.  When we first got here on November 1, there were about that many filled.  There's still a few park models that are empty, but they'll be here in February.

Jim grilled our dinner tonight and we kicked back for the rest of the evening.  Tomorrow there's severe storms coming in so we may do something tomorrow morning, or maybe not. Stay tuned.

We have been watching the weather ourselves and hope that the storms are not too severe. We have plans for tomorrow evening but it is just in the "Bee Hive" at the park.

Sounds like a lovely relaxing day in Florida!

Did I ever tell you how peaceful and lovely your new header pic is? It looks like you just wanna stroll along that road and see what is around the corner.

Of course the part of your post I had to pick to comment on is about the FOOD! We don't eat out much anymore either since we're really trying to keep the diet healthy. BUT...that burger sounds soooooooooooo good! Anything wiht jalapenos MUST be good!
