Bringing in Our Crop

Today Dan decided to tackle our Grapefruit Trees.  Apparently we have to make sure all the fruit is picked before we leave or the park will arrange for it to be done and send us a bill. 

We have decided that the trees are very much overgrown and need to be pruned way back, which we are not capable of doing, so we are going to get a few quotes on having it done. 
                                                                              

We also have to find out when it is supposed to be
done.  Should it be spring or next fall? 


Meanwhile we certainly got a good crop of Grapefruits off of our trees.  There were 5 full crates in all, we gave a lot to the immediate neighbours that we have met, then donated the rest to the club house for others to help themselves. 

The Question Is What's Going On?

Well, first off, I have been having computer problems.  That's why I have not been blogging.  So, what have we been up to since my last blog.  My last blog stated that we are trying to get more involved around the park, and we have.  On Saturday morning we went to the club house for breakfast and met some more residents.  Wednesday, we got involved in a Pot Luck dinner and met some more park people.  Last night we were invited to our neighbours for a wonderful Turkey Dinner.  I am trying to write down names as I hear them, but I'm sure I've missed a lot of them, and by next year I won't be able to remember any of them or even find my list and will have to start all over again

And in case my computer acts up again, our future plans are:  Friday night a club house Fish Fry, and we will go again for the Club House breakfast each Saturday until we leave.  Then after breakfast, I will go to the "Computer Class" they have here, to see if they can help me with my computer problems.  On Monday, we are even going to try out the "Hamburger & Bingo "night, on Monday, then next Thursday I have invited people over for St. Patricks Day drinks after the afternoon Parade.  I will be serving Guinness, Jamison's Whiskey, Baileys Irish Creme, and a mixed drink called an "Irish Car Bomb".   Then on Mar. 19th Saturday night we are off to see "The Cruisers" with Sharon & Casey, this will be our last event here, as we head north on March 21st.
