Well, it's been over a year since I last posted here, sadly reread the post about Olive. Still miss that little pest.
So for anyone who hasn't heard, we have decided to make our stay in Florida a little more permanent. We purchased a park model (that means a mini trailer) at Sun n Fun resort where we've stayed the past 5 years. This way we won't have to drive the motorhome all the way down here, saving the hassle of packing in freezing cold and snow.  It comes fully furnished including dishes and towels so we will just need personal stuff.
This is what it will look like. The unit is 13' x 38' then there is an attached 10' wide lanai (porch) with a shed/storage room on the end where the washer/dryer will be so ends up being about 800sf of living space. We are having it custom built so that it's fully accessible for me. Unfortunately the lot we chose has a camper on it till April 6 and they have to then get the site ready so we will stay a couple weeks longer in April to at least see it before we leave. Probably a good thing since last year our road was too muddy to get home and we had to leave the motorhome down the road and unload from there.
 
In the meantime I've been busy with sewing, scrapping and exercise/swimming and Doug has been - you guessed it - fishing! the weather has been unusually cool (yes I know 50's and 60's isn't cool) and therefore the water was cool and fish weren't biting. Now that we are back to 80's the fish are back. Yeah! Oh and my keyboard lessons and practice. phew!
