February 7, 2011 The Day after the Best Football Game EVER!

There's not too much to report from here.  The weather continues to be warm (low 80's) and slightly humid.  A cold front is supposed to move thru tonight with temps the next few days in the low 70's.  The thing I don't like about the humidity is that we have to keep the air conditioner on.  Hopefully we'll be able to turn it off tomorrow.
Of course there's the Packers!  I'm sure everyone will have a story to tell about watching the game.  None can be better than my brother David though.  He and Teresa went to the game.  Can't wait to hear from them!  They were in row 11 on the 45 yard line Packer side of the field.  They probably can't wait to come home to warmer weather ;-)
We had debated on going to the party here at the park or going to a bar.  We had gone to this bar/restaurant on the recommendation of someone on the chat group Herb belongs to.  It's for the owners of our make of motorhome.  Well it was a great idea.  The place was on the water - literally.  Parts of the floor had glass panels and the water underneath was lit.  You could see the fish swimming around.  Anyway, this was one of our choices.  We did neither!  Herb helped out one of the guys here with his motorhome and they invited us to come over and watch the game with them and their friends.  They have a TV that pulls out on the side of their coach but it had a small screen.  We had a very nice time watching the game outside though.  It was an absolutely great but nerve racking game.  But you all know that.  Missed being at home to watch it.

Seeing as we are going to be here for a while I went on half.com and ordered a bunch of Stephen King books to read.  Love him!  I've got about five books on their way.  I've been sitting outside and reading.  I've also been scratcing the hell out of my ankles.  Scratching them to a bleed.  They are full of bites.  One of the guys at the football game has the same problem.  He sat there scratching for quite a while.  They don't bother his wife nor do they bother Herb.  I've got bites on my feet,ankles, legs, arms and even on my head.  So today we went to get some Off.  I had the same problem when we went to Jamaica.  My feet and ankles were full of very itchy bites that lasted for weeks.  I hope these don't last that long!
After the store we drove to the key called Islamorada.  We came here a few years ago for a wedding.  We looked for the resort and found it.  Todd and Becka, hope you get to see these.

Holiday Isle, Islamorada

Here's a couple of pictures of the sunset tonite.  Very lovely.  People go down to the end of the road every night to watch it.  It's the best thing about this place.

 Not too happy that I booked it for a month.  It's not quite what I had hoped for.  The pool is being worked on and won't be up a running for a VERY long time.  This seems to be a place that people come to on the weekend like we would go up north on the weekends.  It also seems to be very cliquish(clannish, clubby, snobbish, snobby).  It's very quiet here during the week and not so quiet on the weekend.  Lots of kids on bikes and riding around on their golf carts, lots and lots of golf carts.  But it was still quiet after 11PM.


Here's a picure of my boys.  Not too often they are sitting together!

Well the front must be close.  It's getting very windy outside.  Herb is rolling up the awning. 
Ta ta for now.
