Dec 9th to 12th - Naples FL

Dec 9th - Tues - Naples
Another chore & shopping day. You probably wonder how we can shop so much and where we put what we buy. The secret is - you shop a lot to find exactly the right item and then sometimes get rid of old stuff. We found some shorts for Terry which means he can finally throw out the jean shorts that he has worn to death! But it also means that the sewing machine comes out again so he is not wearing capris.
We got a little fiber optic Christmas tree (I decided my small tree was just too little) and it looks wonderful set on a bar stool in the back window where it is totally out of the way.
Our neighbors Ray & Claire joined us for a drink before we went to play Bingo. This time, I won only one game and Terry didn’t win any - our luck should change some time! Actually, our luck did change a bit - we sat beside 3 very nice ladies from Edmonton Alberta.

Dec 10th - Wed - Naples
We completed the satellite wiring into the bedroom this morning before we went to the community center to have lunch. Every Wednesday, they have hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and ice cream at very reasonable prices - I’m sure we’ll take advantage of it again.
I tried to help Claire put some movies onto DVDs but could not figure out how to do it. Their son sends them movie files on an external hard drive. Claire asked us to join them for dinner and I offered to bring potato salad so I did some internet research while I was making it. We had a very nice dinner with them and gabbed afterwards.

Dec 11th - Thurs - Naples
Rained last night and most of today. It finally cleared enough in the late afternoon that we could get laundry done without getting soaked.
I finally got our expenses caught up on the computer but did not complete my blog! The weather just made us lazy!!

Dec 12th - Fri - Naples
After buying strawberries and a few veggies at the produce sale here at the park, we took Ray & Claire to the Fleamasters flea market. First we stopped at Camping World to return an item that we didn’t need and to buy a couple of replacement window knobs.
We wandered the flea market and had a good lunch. We all bought a few items (Pat - I finally found a shrimp deveiner like yours) and headed back about 2. Made a stop at WalMart on the way home for a couple of grocery items. It was cloudy most of the day and was cool enough that we put on long pants to take a bike ride around the park before settling in for the evening.
