And then there were none!

We Have Ignition ....

We woke this morning and headed to the post office.  We had some cards to get in the mail for our "Twin Cousins" - Meada and Neo - birthdays next week.  After that we headed to Williston, Florida about 30 miles from Ocala to look at an RV park we saw advertised at the RV Supershow last weekend.  We got there and while it was nice enough - in fact it had some really impressive "Bling" like a Quarry, a Custom-built RV covered bridge, and a small "mill" which are pictured below - but their rental rates are WAY to high for our tastes.  It won't be happening.

The drive over to Williston was pretty amazing.  It was right through the heart of Marion County's horse country.  The horse farms were really impressive.   We are including a picture of a couple of the horses below.  The most impressive pictures though we weren't able to get since we don't have a panoramic camera.

After checking out Williston Crossing RV Resort we headed over to St. Brendan's Isle Mail Forwarding Service for our final mail pickup.  Now that we have finished that one final item, to quote a line from my favorite movie of all time (Patton with George C. Scott in the title role):

"Das ist das ende, das ende!"  That is the end, the end.

We've done everything we need to do here in Florida for now.  We will be back in the late fall - November ??, 2014 - March ??, 2015.  It's great to be Floridians.

Tomorrow is a "kick-back and relax" day followed by a get buttoned up to travel evening as we get the rig ready for leaving on Sunday afternoon right after we get back from church.

Every morning the first thing that Irene and I do is pull up the Weather Channel App on our iPhone and look at the temps.  Everytime we do it reminds us why we've moved to Florida - it was 40º here in Ocala this morning and -8º in Lafayette, Indiana.  Ah, life is good.

The unfortunate thing is that we are heading from here to Red Bay, AL where it was 20º this morning.    Then we head over to Marshall, Texas for 2 weeks.  This morning it was 28º there.  So, for a couple of weeks (while the US is in the "Dry Ice Freezer" due to the "Sky is Falling" imminent onset of global warming, er, "global climate change" - the newest "moniker" for the fact that its NEVER been "this cold" before or "this hot" before or "this wet" before or "this dry" or "this whatever" before) we are going to have to suck it up.  At least until we get to Tucson where it was 56º this morning.  The reallllly nice thing about this is that our new rig is EXCELLENT in the cold.  The floor that can be heated to 104º and an electric "fireplace" heat-a-lator can take the bite out of even the crispest of mornings. Even in Lafayette when it was 0º on Christmas morning we were toasty warm in the rig.
