Florida, Dover - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - East Tampa RV Resort


Our life is back on track again.  We pulled into East Tampa RV Resort late Monday afternoon.  The sites are nice, but the roads through the park are pretty narrow so it’s a little hard to maneuver a larger coach like ours.  Greg does such a good job of getting this thing around I’m always amazed.  This is where we will be through next week.
 
Yesterday I got caught up on the laundry and Greg cleaned the outside of the coach and the bike.  Right after that it poured down rain J.  In the afternoon it cleared up enough for us to get out to get groceries.

Today I decided to tackle an in depth cleaning of the bathroom while Greg installed some new lights in the bedroom.  He also replaced some locking latches on the closets.  I’ve managed to break two of these latches and we were having trouble finding replacements.  At the RV Show we noticed latches like them in a couple of the new RVs so we asked about them when we were at Lazy Days.  Since they cost just over $20 a piece to replace I’m going to have to be more careful in the future.
This is a big park.  We walked from our site to the main office today to pick up our mail – the round trip was just under two miles.  We just received all those wonderful Christmas cards from family and friends, we’ll have them displayed to enjoy for a while even though it is past Christmas.  The pool looked inviting but it’s a bit cold to be enjoying it.


I noticed this bush was just starting to bloom.  I also think we passed fields of strawberries with fruit on them when we went to the grocery yesterday.  That seems so funny since we wouldn’t have seen that until June in Indiana.


This afternoon I made chili, it sounded good since it is in the chilly 50s here, sorry northern friends and family.  Greg decided to tackle the central vacuum system that hasn’t been functioning quite like it should be.  Last month while I was vacuuming it sounded like something large was sucked in and it hasn’t worked well since then.  Today he found the problem – the utility knife we lost when we were redoing the headboard in the bedroom.  Once he removed that it’s working just fine.
