Some weeks . . .

are just better than others. This is one of the better weeks for me. I'm in Florida as I speak in the process of buying me a vacation home. Wow!! totally exciting and a little overwhelming all at the same time but somehow I'm loving every minute of it.

Back in February, after an exhaustive search of the internet, I found exactly what I was looking for; namely, a resident-owned 55+ trailer park in Florida that was affordable. No need for another big house. I have one of those already. A nice sized camper seemed like a perfect solution.

My camper idea evaporated once I learned about something called a 'park model'. Let me explain in case, like me, the term is new to you too. They are similar to campers in size but they have a regular bathroom and are much like a house. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm posting a link to some pictures of the one I got. Who knows maybe you'll want one too when you see how cute it is!!

70 something

Well it happened. July 27th arrived and I'm now officially 70 something. I'm not sure I like that it happened. I was so accustomed to 60 something that I'm not sure I'm ready for 70 something. It's actually taken me several weeks to get used to the idea and stop pretending it didn't happen. After all, I woke up on the morning of July 27th and I didn't feel any different than I did on the morning of July 26th so I guess it's ok.

Just for the heck of it I googled: '70 something' and found: Even a 70 Something Technologically Challenged Mom Can Get Started in Blogging With These 10 Tips. Wonder why the author picked 70 something? Why didn't he pick 60 something? Hmmm! Maybe you need more help at 70 than you do at 60? I dunno but I did find something in the above article that I could use to cure my frequent episodes of 'blog block' though. Use These 7 Ideas and You Will Never Suffer From Blog Block Again Guaranteed!. So glad I found this one because I can use all the help I can get.
