Arrived at a "Normal" Campground!

Lazydays CG is very nice and the amenities are great, but we were so ready to move on to a more relaxing and get in the lifestyle mode CG.  We left Lazydays around 8:30, stopping to get gas in Waldo at the neighboring Flying J (2.03 per gallon - yes!.  Hooked up the CRV and were on our way by 9. 

It was about a 2 hour drive to the Harbor Lakes CG near Port Charlotte.  This CG is about 80% Quebec campers and most of them speak very little English. But our friends, Ernie and Noela are staying here for 3 months, so we are excited to spend time with them.  Also, Neil and Nancy Savage from back home should arrive next Sunday, so we will enjoy seeing them too.  We were all set-up and settled in by 1, just in time for lunch.  Decided to take a short walk, stopping by Ernie and Noela's site.  They weren't there, so we headed back to Waldo after a little more walking around the CG.  Ken took a short nap while I watched football and made some earrings.  Then we went outside to watch football and I enjoyed making more jewelry in the great outdoors!


The campsites are rather large and very deep.  Even have a cement
pad for the table!



Around 4, Ernie and Noela came by.  We had so much "catching up" to do.  Both of us downsized this year, us to an apartment and they moved from a large old stone home on the ranch to a smaller ranch style home about 20 minutes from the family ranch.  Their son and daughter-in-law moved into the farm house and took over the ranch.  Ernie and Noela will continue to help out but on a limited basis. It was a lot of fun to "reconnect".


Our special friends, Ernie and Noela, that we met in the fall
of 2013 at Topsail on the Florida Panhandle.  They are
from Quebec, but fortunately they speak English!
They left around 6:30 and Ken and I made supper and watched the end of the Denver game.  What happened????  I am a Manning Fan and was very disappointed.  Not sure who to root for now, either Green Bay or the Seahawks.
We called it a day around 9:30, both of us rather tired and eager to get into a "regular" routine starting tomorrow.
