Still at Bee's........ Until Tomorrow

We are still in the overflow site which is not really that bad and for only $8 a night, one really shouldn't complain. We have met two of our neighbours. Both are from Illinois and are also in overflow and paying over $20 a night! I think I would have some issues with that arrangement but that is their affair and not mine.

Yesterday, we took a run south to Kissimee to get haircuts. After all, we have to look presentable for the arrival of our guests on Monday. We went back to the same salon we tried before during our last stay in Orlando. We also stopped in at Thousand Trails to pick up some mail that was waiting for us. I finally got my new cell phone back from repair at HTC. It had quit working the day before we left Ottawa to head south. I think they just sent me a new phone. I also received a new remote sensor and circuit board for our Progressive Industries surge protector. Basically, the surge protector checks the quality of electricity drawn from the campground electrical post. If it is not satisfactory, the protector will not let the power through into our motorhome. The unit was over $500 but is good insurance against having all our electronics zapped by lightning or a bad post. So far we have encountered no bad posts in any of the campgrounds we have stayed. The remote sensor actually gives me a read out of how many amps, hertz, etc we are drawing at any one time. Certainly better than frying $8000 worth of electronics like I have heard happening on various RV wes sites.

We returned to Bee's yesterday afternoon in time for the all-you-can-eat fish fry dinner at the Honey Pot Restaurant. We dined with the Crawleys from California who were our neighbours in Peace River for two of our three weeks there. The Honey Pot is located right at Bee's RV Resort so we didn't have to drive anywhere. People come from all over to eat here as well.

This morning started with a nice walk with Buddy. Then we left his Highness in the motorhome while we went for a nice run on the natural trail running around the perimeter of Bee's. He seems to be settling in to life in the motorhome and is not barking as much as he used to when we started. I think he knows when the bark collar is on and just decides to keep quiet. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

We then headed over to The Groves at Winter Garden Village for a little shopping. We picked up a set of queen size sheets for the sofa bed as well as a few bits of linen and towels. Car wash on the way back to Clermont. Best car wash I have ever seen. It had about 20 angled parking stalls with free vacuuming stations. There was even a vacuum machine that cleaned your floor mats. Worked like a computer printer, only instead of paper being fed in one end and out the other end, you feed the floor mats in one at a time. Pretty slick!

Once we got to Bee's, we lazed around under our awning and watched the world go by. Chris kept busy practicing her newly learned hobby of making pine needle baskets. It is a native American art form she learned at Peace River. Nothing fancy yet, but she is getting quite good at it. I read some RV magazines until the skies opened up and we both moved back inside for the evening.

Tomorrow, we head for Thousand Trails in Orlando for 3 weeks. We hope to be on the road by 11:30 am after we fill up our propane tanks before leaving here. If all goes well, we'll be set up in lots of time and ready to play pickleball tomorrow evening.
