Our exciting week at Napoli Lane

Last Sunday we moved back to Napoli Lane (Bubba and Anna's) home site. We dodged around the rain and arrived in early afternoon. Set up and settled in for the night. On Monday Gary went to Port Orange to see Bubba and ran some errands. I worked and hung out at the house.

On Tuesday morning I worked again. After lunch we went to nearby Lake Ashby Park. Bev had told us about water skiing in/on the lake a few years ago and later in the day learned that alligators lived there...no more water skiing for her.
We didn't see any alligators...just spiders..large and small birds..low flying planes...and lots of trees and scrubs of all kinds.
It is a great place to walk with both natural walkways and a boardwalk that goes out over the lake. We enjoyed having the park to ourselves. Only 1 other family was there. I'll bet this place is very busy in warmer weather.
We met Bob and Bev for dinner at Booth's Bowery in Port Orange. I had a BIG burrito and Gary had a country fried steak. The service was slow (miss server needed an attitude adjustment) and the food and drinks were mediocre. Maybe they were having an "off' night.







































Wednesday was another working and housekeeping day. Gary went for gas for the generator and we eat lunch down the road at a Subway. Afterwards, I went to Wal Mart for those necessary items. About 4pm we went to Bubba and Anna's house. Gary had been over on Monday evening to look at their malfunctioning refrigerator ice maker. He determined that it would have to be replaced and located one at the local Lowe's. He picked it up and we went over to their house so he could install it. We went to a steakhouse near their home for dinner. Webber's Steakhouse. Good service and the food was OK.
Yesterday Anna and Bubba came out to visit us at their home site. We sat around and talked about their plans for their new home. It sounds wonderful. This area is great and I'm sure they will really enjoy living here. We had a great visit.
Today dawned gray and overcast. At least it didn't rain again. I worked a little bit before lunch. We "went to town" to the Daytona Flea Market, Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens and Things, Super Target and Super WalMart and Advance Auto. Out of all these stops we bought a pack of printer paper, a funnel and some Little Debbie Oatmeal Cookies. We're looking for a few things for the house and haven't found "just the right" ones. We also went by Bob and Bev's house and filled up a 5 gallon jug of fresh water. Using our new funnel, we added it to our home tank when we got back. After a supper of left-overs for Gary and a salad for Me, I went back to work. Starting this week, I'm increasing my work hours to 25. Only 1 1/2 hours left to go this week...I'll finish in the morning.
Night all.. Hope you have a good weekend.
