January 2008

Jan. 30th we went to arcadia for the day and played golf there. It is such a nice peaceful area and the course was very pretty. We both even had good days score wise as well. This was the first time we got to play since we played with Eddie and Debbie.

Jan. 27th Oh, the long drawn out days of the winter. We like the area and the park we are in but the job itself has a lot to be desired.

Jan. 23rd after not having and success with getting our kayak we started to investigate why it was not sent. We went through e-bay and paypal and also called our credit card company to expatiate the problem.

Jan 17th we started on our bowling team and meet up with our partners (Emory & Ida) we will have a good time bowling.

Jan. 16th we went again to the Va. Hospital in Baypines for another appointment and was informed that they will be doing more tests. Had to put in some time tonight at Woodland Hall for a Murder Mystery dinner, All we did was plate food and clean-up.

Jan. 12th went to another beach today and just walked around and had a good time, also went to the “St. Armands Circle” and strolled through the countless boutiques in the area. A very nice area but to say the least a bit pricey. Went to a local lake as they had some kayakers there, when we get ours we will probably start here before we go to the inlet.

Jan. 10th we went to the Job Fair in Lakeland for the day and got to meet a lot of great people there. These are some of the people that we read on the forums and it was nice to put a face on them. We are sure that they wanted to get a face on us because we show our tiger on the forum.
Jan. 9th had to return to Bay pines Va. For some more tests and we just had a great day and we are still amazed how well it hospital is run. We had to do some shopping for some articles we needed and just enjoyed being in Fl. For the winter.

Jan. 5th the weather really warmed up nicely and we walked the beach at Siesta Key, probably some of the smoothest sand we ever saw. It is supposed to be one of the finest beaches in the country and we can see why. Kathleen saw a Verizon store and had wanted for a while to upgrade her phone. We went in to look around and she picked out a camera phone, when the salesman came back he had two one for each of us. At this point we now have two new camera phones.

Jan. 3rd we went bowling with the Sun N Fun bowling league as our last week of being subs.

Jan. 2nd we went to the Va. Hospital in Bay pines, for some medical checkups. We did find that they have a great system and we were in and out in two hours. This was registration, meeting with the nurse and doctor going to the labs for blood and urine tests, and also getting meds at the pharmacy. The cold spell hit us good and of course we had some issues with the heat, same problem as last spring. We are going to have to get some spare parts and fix the unit. We jumped out the bad sensor for now and know how to manually operate the system. We went to E-bay today and bought a 330 Sea Eagle inflatable kayak.

Jan. 1st to start the New Year we worked as this was a scheduled day, we did enjoy our pork & sauerkraut though. We did have a cold spell come in today and the temps are going down to the 30’s.
