Again, the weather is quite cold...very cold....and extremely windy. Wouldn't be using the outdoor furniture anyhow but definitely wouldn't put it out in this wind. Hoping it doesn't last long.
Roger did a few "putzy maintenance" things and then we went out to explore Arcadia. My parents had a winter home here in Arcadia for over 20 years in a resort called Arcadia Village, which is an over 55 double-wide park. We drove there to check out the ole homestead. We found it right off and it was in excellent shape. While snapping pictures to send to my siblings, the current owner came out. (I'm sure he thought we were up to no good) I immediately told him why we were there and we struck up a good conversation. His wife came home while we were talking and he introduced me as the daughter of the 1st owner of their home. They invited me in to see what they had done since they bought it. It looked very nice...and very familiar. I became a little melancholy !!
Still too windy to do anything outside. Not many people walking about around here...not like Emerald Beach RV Park. I did meet some ladies in the laundry room (where 50% of the machines are out of order) who seemed really nice and invited us to join them in the clubhouse tonight for their weekly park dinner. Tonight is fried chicken and mashed potatoes for $6.00/person. I liked it, but Roger was not a fan of the chicken. Oh well, at least I didn't have to cook !!
This park has NO WiFi or Cable here in the "New" part....referred to as "The 700s". We need internet so we signed up for a connection to WiFi from a company called CampLink. I bought a week for $15.00 to try it out. Hopefully, it works good.
