Took the day off to interview some snowbirds, do laundry and straighten up S CARGO. Bubba and Sissy have been our entertainment. Bubba and Juanita have become close. I hope he doesn't go into a depression when she has to leave us at the end of our adventure. I guess they can Skype each other.
As to snowbirds - they come from everywhere. They have small trailer homes that they live in during the winter months, then go back in March or April to wherever they came from. We think living here during the winter months must be good, because we spoke to a 75 yr old woman today who looked 50! Many snowbirds have boats and fish all the time.
You might already know that both Juanita and I love to learn at least one new thing every day. Well, this day has been no exception. We actually learned how to properly fold contour sheets while we were waiting for our clothes to wash this morning. It is truly an art! It felt the same as when Martha Stewart showed all of us on her tv show how she learned to fold t-shirts when she was in the slammer.
Now that the chores are done, we're sitting back and having a cold one - or two, while planning our next day. Tomorrow we will take a meander through Naples, then on to Sanibel Island, Pine Key and Points beyond. Juanita has a once-owned horse resting comfortably on Pine Key. We hope to stop by and say hello and see the key. Tuesday night will be spent at Myakka River State Park.
Oh, by the way, we're a little nervous about a litle tiff we had with an inconsiderate RVer this morning. He was taking too long to hook up and had his big truck in our way. So Juanita gave him a piece our our minds. Now we hope they don't throw us out of THIS park too.

You go, Juanita! Glad to see you being assertive with inconsiderate campers. Who does he think he is, anyway?
So envious that you are going to Sanibel. Pick up a seashell for me while you are doing the "Sanibel Stoop," would you please???
Yep, even in paradise you will always run into the obnoxious people who think they have the right to only look after Numero Uno (and some do it on purpose to deliberately remind whatever audience they can find exactly who owns this planet...). Oh well, the best innoculation against these types is to inundate your life with so much fun and relaxation that these unfortunate encounters slip right off your back as you proceed to the next fun and relaxation event.
Unlike back here in Blearyville, yesterday I took time off from work to take my kid to a doc appt. to the same doc office I've been using for 17 years, only to find out that the receptionist couldn't be bothered to call my office number to inform me that my appointment that day was cancelled...too much trouble for her to dial my office number (that they've HAD in their files for all of those 17 years) after she got no answer and no answering machine at my home number. HELLOOOO they KNOW I work during the week day like most people to earn a living!!! (I need a Florida relaxing vacation--breathe in deep that imaginary balmy florida fresh air....). See what you're missing back in real life?
The gator picture looks ominous. Still trying to I.D. that cute little black and white fish (it's stumping me...and others too).
Fifi's blog is funny, as usual. So witty (e.g. Martha's slammer lesson on folding).
Day 10 eh? You two might not ever go home! Enjoy.
ok, now that I found the info, I remember from my school days learning about this little brave fish (who has to be VERY careful as it feeds on the tentacles...or else be eaten itself by the Portugues Man O War! Here's the info on the cute little fish you saw hanging around the P. M of W:
the portuguese man-of-war ". . . is not a single animal but a colony of four kinds of highly modified individuals [polyps]. The polyps are dependent on one another for survival."

The small fish, Nomeus gronovii, lives among the tentacles of Physalia and is nearly immune to the poison from the stinging cells. Nomeus feeds on the tentacles, which are constantly regenerated; sometimes the fish is eaten by Physalia.
