Our RV Adventures Blog

The chronological account of our travels. Like most full-time RVers we'll babble on about all the mundane aspects of our daily lives. Some will find it interesting, and others will use it as a sleeping aid. Either way, we've done our part.

States where we've camped in our RV since Sep 1, 2004. Driving through doesn't count.

Today we’re moving to full hookups. Tomorrow it will be three weeks since we arrived in Key West so we were dry camping for 20 days.

Not too much has been happening around here lately. Since we’ve recovered from our colds we still haven’t gotten back in the water yet. Cooler weather had blown in and then it was too windy but all that seems to be over so hopefully we’ll be getting back in the water soon.

Mac and I have mentioned my Kindle and I’m really enjoying it. A reader of our blog (yes, there are people who read our blog) sent me a link for free Kindle books. I found another link also and between the two of these I’ve found many books for FREE that I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’ve downloaded free cookbooks, games, fiction and non-fiction. I have so many books now and not enough time!

I have found that many of the free books don’t stay free very long. Sometimes a few hours or a few days but eventually the free cost is over and the books are back to being either at a reduced price or full price. The books that are downloaded for free stay free on my Kindle; they don’t disappear or expect me to pay for the ones that I downloaded free when the price goes back up. I was disappointed that one day I didn’t notice one book on the list of free books until a day and a half later. When I clicked on the book it was back up to being a pay for book and it was one I would enjoy reading. I really need to keep on top of the list of free books so that I don’t miss any good reads.

Today we went to lunch with some friends that are down here for 10 days, Cris & Terry. We went to Blossom’s for some great sandwiches. It used to be Paradise Café but that closed and then Blossom’s opened but in a new location. It’s off the beaten path but well worth the effort of getting there. 408 White Street and they have delivery also. After lunch we returned to our RV and visited for a while before getting back to work.

January 27 – January 29:

I had gone to a local dermatologist about 10 days ago regarding a seborrheic keratosis that I have on the back of my head. I’ve had it removed twice before on the exact same place on my head and it needs removing again. The doctor said it was about 7cm or 2 ½ inches, one of the largest he’d seen. So today he cut it off and I’m hoping for better results than the previous two times. Previously, it was just cut off, but this doctor also burned it so hopefully it won’t come back. But unfortunately they usually do.

Most of my weekend has been spent keeping Neosporin on my wound and taking ibuprofen. Boy, it sure was sore. Mac said it’s like having second or third degree burns so of course it’s pretty sore.
