Missy and I spent the day together. First we went to the “SPA”. A very classy joint! We had tea and fruit, then a Swedish massage, hot tub time then a sauna. By the time we left there, I was ready for a nap but no…. Missy and I did some shopping.
I was looking for boots (warm, water resistant ones), but I found “Coldwater Creek”. YEAH, I spent most of my time trying on clothes. I now know what they feel like on What Not To Wear. I tried on and tried on clothes. Missy and the associate kept bringing me more and more to try on. I ended up with 2 pair of pants, 3 tops, a jacket and a necklace.
Tom almost had a heart attack when he saw what I’d spent. Too bad! It’s probably the last time I’ll get to go to Coldwater Creek for years; although they do have a catalog.
It’s freezing cold here. I hate staying in the camper in the cold. We’ve been running the heater and we need to fill the propane tanks again. It’s supposed to get warmer starting tomorrow. For Florida, this has been a really cold time.

Camping with the kids (sort of). After picking up the kids from school, Missy and the Kids (and Brad of course), came over to the RV park. She rented a camp site just down from us and set up their dome tent. It was just too cold to consider staying overnight there. Tom started a fire in the “pit” and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. The kids had a ball, riding bikes, running up the trails and just running free.
Of course, kids and the fire made me a nervous wreck. But contrary to my worries, although the kids did get too close for me, no one was injured. Unless you count Tommy, but his didn’t happen with the fire, he was getting the kids sticks to use for the marshmallows and he got “stuck”. Just a small cut, didn’t even bleed much.
We sat around the fire to late. Brad took the kids home and Missy and Tommy stayed for a while longer. I wish I had taken some videos. They were playing 80’s music and the next think I knew Missy and Tom were disco dancing in the camper. Tommy and I were laughing so hard that the whole camper was shaking. I did get some photos.
Tommy drove Missy home and stayed at her house. He had promised to install two small ceiling fans in the kids’ rooms.

Camping with the kids continues
I had forgotten how much work kids are. They spent the day here at the park, doing what kids do. Tom fixed hamburgers with all the fixings. Danielle (12 going on 21), is a real handful. She’s at that age. When I see the faces she makes, it reminds me of Missy’s “attitude years”. It’s hard to get a photo of her without that teenage look. So I don’t have many photos of her yet.
Aurora (6) is so full of energy. It’s hard to get her to say still long enough to get photos. But you know me, I keep trying.
And Jack, well how do I explain a kid that never stays still. He has a mind of his own, and he doesn’t hesitate telling you what he thinks.
After feeding the kids and playing ball, we were all tired. Missy and Brad took the kids home, and Tommy went back to his apartment. He loves the kids, but sometimes they are just too much.
