Loners on Wheels

Morning light

It's 10:30 on Sunday morning and my little home on  wheels is bathed in sunshine.  It's 73 degrees here, and I don't miss the snow folks had back home!   This will be my home for the next 4 months and I am looking forward to it.  More on my immediate plans later.

My arrival coincided with a rally of Loners on Wheels, a group of devoted RVers who travel solo.  It is one of the warmest and friendliest groups I've ever known.  We had breakfast every morning, happy hour every afternoon and dinners together.  We also had a country and western duet show last night, sponsored by American Coaches, another RV group.  It was great fun!  Donny and Sandy Colf were terrific entertainers and she even serenaded me for one song.  I hope to get a picture of that to post.  She sure made my temperature rise!  On the way to breakfast this morning, I invited Helen to ride on the Burg with me and she accepted without hesitation.  I later learned she had owned a Gold Wing in Alaska!  What a spirited lady!
I also loved this can holder she had.

Yesterday I scooted down to Myakka State Park to enjoy the sunshine and a bowl of my favorite gator stew.  I stopped on a bridge to watch some folks fishing and saw this huge gator looking for a snack.  The people were catching lots of bream and it looked like the gator wanted to grab one, but he just lay there for a while and then moved on.

On the way back I spotted this water slide from the second story of a home.  My first thought was, "What a way to start the day!"  I think I could get used to something like that!  What fun that could be!

Great way to start the day!

My schedule for today and the coming week includes a visit with my sister, Barbara, and her family; line dance lessons, since I seem to have forgotten most of what I learned from sister Lisa in SC; penny ante poker night; a meeting of Solos on the Go; karaoke at the pool Friday night; and a poolside party and moonlit music on Saturday night.  Whew!  And, I may get in a round of golf, too.  Thank goodness I started walking daily again while at St. George Island, and that's a good thing. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to keep posting more often now.
