Weather ..... More Tornado Warnings.....

Chris had a great time in Lakeland shopping with Cathy and Jane. A girls day out, including lunch. Apparently, some time was spent in the beading store as well.

Buddy and I hung out at the pickleball courts until just after lunch and then headed home. Games were quite good yesterday morning, although many people, including yours truly, were a step or two slower after the great breakfast by Travis and Dee Dee. It didn't take long to work it off though.

We are supposed to be out of here on Feb 17th but are trying to get one extra night if possible, as we do not get into TT Orlando until Feb 18th. Peace River is overbooked for the weekend right now, but they are checking into the extra night for us. Even a bit of ground with no hookups will do us just fine. It will all depend on how many no shows there are I suppose.

There was some nasty weather blowing in off the Gulf yesterday afternoon and last night as well. Lots of rain and wind in some places but we seem to have escaped the bad stuff for the time being. I retracted all our awnings and took down the sunshade just to be safe. We followed several tornado watches on the local news last night but Peace River area has escaped unscathed thus far.

Looks like another rainy day here today, so no pickleball for sure. Canada AM showed the whole eastern seaboard covered with the same storm system that blew through here last night. Anyway, it is wet here, but at least we are not shovelling snow!

We signed up for a Valentine's Day brunch in Avon Park tomorrow which is only about 25 miles east of here on Hwy 64. There are 50 of us going to a culinary school for a special feast. Sounds promising.
