HAPPINESS, is to have everything…you need!
NOT the need to have everything.

If joy is in the JOURNEY, 
then reward is in the Destination 

Journey is our Winnebago Motorhome 


To say the least this has been a very busy month so far. For the record today is the 9th of October but I’ll start from the beginning. I am going to type in just the highlights and will fill-in later.

10.01.2021-Friday
We discovered a new steak meal. Just recently we purchased a new counter top Toaster-Oven. This time we noticed, for a few dollars more, we could also have the oven with an Air-Fryer. What an eye-opener. In the book that came with the Air Fryer was a very simple recipe for a steak and egg-noodles with a bunch of very nice added garnishing’s. It took about 20 minutes to prepare and 20 to eat and the same to clean up; an awesome food-experience.
We had a nice visit with Fr. Gill (Michael) at his condo. Our mind is at rest on looking for a new home for Fr Michael. We had spent the previous week looking for another home for Fr. Michael. In the end we discovered where he was, was just about perfect for him, so now we can spend some quality time just visiting with Michael.

10.02-Saturday
Took Fr. Michael to the Go Fish Restaurant in Mystic, CT. We wanted very much to take Fr. Michael out to a nice restaurant and he suggested the “GO-Fish” restaurant in Mystic, CT. That worked out just fine for us since we’ve been gone from this area for almost eight-years, so much has changed.
Spent a delightful afternoon with him checking out Mystic, so much is new to us. The meal was delicious and the company equally as interesting. After eating we all decided to try to walk off some of the calories we had just ingested and walk around Mystic for an hour or so. What a delightful day we had.

10.04-Monday-

Ran some errands and finished the afternoon at Friendly Pizza-it hasn’t changed in 30 years. The recipe they used when Steve, the previous owner was in charge, is the same as back then. The help, of course, were all new to us but were were courteous as we expected they would be. We never have pizza at a restaurant, we’re still just a little cheap that way, but no one sells pizza in a box as good as at Friendly Pizza, we devoured the entire pie.

10.05-Tuesday
My daughter Cheryl and husband Paul asked us over to their home for steak on the grill; Paul cooked. We knew that Paul would be cooking since Cheryl still hasn’t discovered the kitchen yet. She’s good with that and we were also. Paul is awesome behind a stove or grill.

Very uneventful day-so nice! We celebrated by taking ourselves out to dinner at CBarrel, where else for meatloaf once again.

10.10-Sunday
We will complete our transition back to Florida staying for a week or so at Lazy days for minor fixes.
Now I must go back and finish off September!- More to come here

10.11- Monday-Arrive back in Wildwood at Lazy Days
We’re here to remedy a few fixes that are needed. Door fix is on order, AC Dials are on order and the Passenger slide will take a little longer. The main gear that brings in the slide has several teeth broken which is why we were experiencing a banging or thumping sensation when the slide was brought in.

10.23.21-Still enjoying our days at Lazy Days
Above I mentioned we arrived here on the 11th around a week-and-a half-ago, and we’re still here. All the fixes were made and almost all were perfect, except the room-slide on the passenger side. It got fixed, a gear required replacing, and it was. We were told it was a good fix then we  attempted to bring in the slide and we noticed the front section came in a couple of seconds after the back portion. This caused damaged to the newly replaced gear, again. So a new one was ordered and should be in around the 25th. I wanted Lazy Days to order a new “Controller” as well, since this is what tells the motors what to do, but they thought otherwise. We’ll see what happens. We continue to keep in touch with Fr. Gill, usually just a Saturday phone call just to check in, he’s doing well. We are scheduled to leave for Georgia the end of the month, hope it happens. Temps in that part of Georgia are about 12-15-degrees cooler than in Florida.
