As I blog this evening in March I reflect on what we have done since the last blog update! We spent the rest of October and November at home. In October we waited for leaves to fall as we gazed at their greenness and we spent November collecting them with our shredder for mulch in the gardens. Of course, when we land at home we do the “many mile check-ups” with our array of doctors. For old folks we find we are ticking quite well!

By December 4, 2008, we had arrived on our site at Holiday Travel Resort in Leesburg, FL. We barely have time to settle onto the site before we are swamped with the responsibilities we have collected over the past 5 years. This year completes 6 years of returning to Leesburg, FL and Holiday Travel Resort.

Charles manages the active volley ball program. Let us direct you to www.htrvolleyball.blogspot.com for more information. In the middle of the season they play 4 teams each morning. V ball is played seven days a week. The one day 2009 tournament has just passed with great enthusiasm. It took a lot or organization for Charles and he thrived doing it. V ball will had a yearly party March 9.

Roxie continues to be a part of the Computer Club. Look at www.htrcomputerclub.blogspot.com . She is secretary and helps maintain the bank of computers for pubic use open twenty-four hours a day. Weekly help sessions are attended well as many folks come to assist folks.

By the way----Roxie created the two blogs mentioned previously.

We continue to oversee the dog park that we were a part of planning in 2005. Check it out at http://www.htrdogpark.blogspot.com/.

Last summer Charles officially became a Frustrated Maestro with FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association.) These folks are retirees who have much musical experience and play for the conventions and rallies. In this blog see July 27, 2009 for our trip to St. Paul, MN to spend a week with the Maestros.
Charles has several more times to play with the Maestros before returning to FL next December. We will be in Bowling Green, Ohio for FMCA convention in mid July. This will be followed by several rallies. Each time the Maestros assemble ahead of time at an RV park for intense rehearsals. It is just great to find a trombone to the lips once again!
Oh yes, he did play again in Merry Tuba Christmas in The Villages, FL in December.


We spend four months here at www.holidaytravelresort.com in Leesburg, FL.

Mid April we have an appointment in Gaffney, SC at Freightliner. Following this we will land at our brick and mortar home in Franklin, TN. However…itchy wheels will have us on the road just after July begins.
