AVON PARK, FL: Third Night

It's catch-up time.  Yesterday (Thursday), was another enjoyable day, which seems to be the norm for this lifestyle. The  Adelaide Shores RV Resort is a snowbird RVer's type of campground with lots of activities, groups, and social gatherings for its residents during the winter months, and we were warmly welcomed by everyone we met..

At mid-morning Dee Walter met Selene joined a group for Shuffleboard, which Selene had never played before.  The game is easy to learn, but accuracy and strategies come with practice.  The group was full of friendly advice for the newbie and the three games went by quickly Rain began midday and continued through the overnight hours.  In the afternoon, Jim and Dee visited with us for a couple of hours before their Valentine dinner outing with another couple.  After dinner, Selene went to the Walter's fifth-wheel to watch the Carolina Hurricanes game on their wide-screen, hi-def tv - which was a nice treat.  Hank completed some website work during that time.

As a side note, the new washer-dryer combo that was installed during our extended Christmas stay in Alabama is getting lots of use, and is definitely a big improvement over the machine it replaced!

Today (Friday) dawned cloudy but dry, and the morning was spent with a few chores. We joined Dee and Jim for lunch at The Depot, an American diner which serves breakfast and lunch with generous servings and fair prices..  After returning to the campground, Hank, Selene and Dee joined a group for 2games of Mexican Train Dominoes.  Then Jim joined us for a foursome at Shuffleboard.  We all went to the  historic  Hotel Jacaranda for a buffet dinner. Tonight was a seafood special, with delicious clam chowder, fresh salad bar, several seafood entrees, fried chicken, and fresh vegetable dishes followed by many types of desserts including fresh strawberry shortcake (it's strawberry season in central Florida). "Through a partnership with South Florida State College, culinary students perfect their talents by training in the Jac’s modern kitchen." (information from the hotel's website).

After dinner, we returned to the campground to Jon and Kathleen's (more new friends) park model to play "Three to Thirteen" and "Pass the Ace" card games.  This was a great way to end a busy, but another enjoyable, day.

Tomorrow, Little House will once again return to the highway as it takes us to Hudson, Florida.
