Lazy Days RV
Seffner, FL
Yep, still here. Our slide topper material came in today so they should be able to put that on tomorrow. We were hoping to get in another visit with Sherry and David while we were here, but Gin came down with a cold a few days ago and now I have it too. We don’t want to take any chances of giving it to David or Sherry for that matter.
We were pleasantly surprised to see several familiar faces here. We met several couples here this past winter when we bought Tawanda and many of them were back to have service done much like us. Don and Jinny were here. They stay at the FamCamp at McDill Air Force Base in nearby St Pete during the winter. They had traded in their 2011 Tiffin for a 2012 model because the floor plan was a better fit for them. We also made new friends this time around too. Donna and Jack are from New York and shared some info on the parks up that way. Sharon and Steve live in Boynton Beach FL and own a towing service (Becks). They had their two dogs with them. Sophie stole the show one day when she joined us in the pool. We plan to leave Monday and meander over to the Freightliner class in Gaffney SC.
On the home front, our neighbor Mark told us that the trapper caught two beavers in the pond. Several more traps were set out but it looks like that may have been it for now. I hope so because we don’t need any more damage to the trees.
Thanks for dropping by and enjoy each day of your life’s journey by finding beauty in the ordinary.

Lazy Days
Lazy Days RV
Seffner, FL
We’ve been here at Lazy Days for a week now and have most of our warranty work done. Shawn has been an excellent service advisor. We are just waiting for some parts to come in. We’ve spent a couple of nights in our work bay but for the most part, we have been on one of the campsites in the Crown Club area. The people here are so nice and the grounds are beautiful and well manicured. The squirrels can even read!
We wanted to stay around here while the work is being done but it’s extra nice to be fed three times a day and have a swimming pool to lounge in. We’ve watched the lizards around the pool do their part to control the bug population.
There is a sidewalk that circles around the grounds and is an excellent place for my morning walks. We’ve enjoyed pedaling around some too.
There are many beautiful flowering bushes around here this time of year so I took these pictures to share with those of you who like flowers. (I was especially thinking of Gin’s mom, Judy)

Surprise!
Lazy Days RV
Seffner, FL
Any time you buy a new rv, you have to keep track of the little things that aren’t quite right so that the repairs can be made while under warranty. No matter how good the rv is, there will always be something to put on that list. A couple of the main things that we need to have fixed are the fireplace (which blew out something and almost burned) and the jacks which just aren’t coming up properly. But the main reason we didn’t let it be known that we were coming to Lazy Days for those repairs is because we wanted to surprise Sherry and David who were staying at Lithia Springs Park. Mission accomplished!
We did our part to help control the bug population in Florida. Naturally, I washed off the front of Tawanda as soon as we set up on Thursday.
Friday morning after discussing things with Shawn, our service advisor, we drove over to Lithia Springs and found Winnona parked down a long driveway on a beautiful site in the jungle. The car was gone but the MH door was open. We sneaked down the driveway and Gin knocked on the hood to get Sherry to the door. Surprise!!
After a little visit with her, she called David who was out in the car. He came back to get a big hug from us. We certainly did surprise them!
We spent the day with them and walked around the park. The spring was quite low but there were a few folks playing in the cool water. We sat outside back at camp and Sherry whipped up a great pasta dish for supper. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with these two people and hope and pray that they find the inner strength needed to fight the battle against David’s cancer.
Carpe Diem!!

Bike Rack, Visits and Strawberries
Lazydays (site CD97)
Seffner, Fl
It seems that we did absolutely nothing on Monday because neither one of us can recollect anything now. It’s good to have days like that every once in a while. Gin was still getting over her cold I guess.
On Tuesday we went to Camping World and bought a new bike rack. It’s a lot like the one we had but will be more secure between the MH and the toad. After we put it together and put it on the hitch, we took a bike ride around the grounds. We got a call from Jim who is the voice of the MH Emrys. He and his friend Denny were at the nearby Camping World so we pedaled over there to chat and invite them back to see Tawanda! I have followed Jim’s blog for a number of years because he gives an interesting twist on the daily life of a fulltime rver. We also got a call from Tiffany who said that our window awnings had come in so they would take the MH to the work bay in the morning.
We got up early today so that they could get started. We were homeless for the day so we visited Don and Jinny whose Tiffin is still in a work bay. They hope everything is done soon so that they can visit with family and friends this weekend. Then we drove over to Southern Aire RV Park to visit with Jim and Linda and see their long MH. It’s a 45’ 2000 Newmar Londonaire. That’s right…45 feet long! They got it this past summer and it’s a very nice home.
After our visit with them, we drove over to Parkesdale Farms which is near Plant City on Hwy 92 about 5 miles east of LD. We had heard that they have some very fresh delicious strawberry shortcake we had to try. They have any kind of plant and fresh vegetable there that you could want. A little soft-serve ice cream on the berries was great too.
There is one last thing to be done tomorrow (replace a small light fixture) and then we hope to leave tomorrow afternoon. It’s really been nice here since there are several huge Live Oaks with Spanish Moss draping down from the limbs, but we are ready to ride around a little bit before we head back to NC.
Life is what you make of it…make it count.

Wanda’s Gone
Lazydays (CD 97)
Seffner, Fl
We’ve spent a couple of days “nesting” here at LD. Friday morning, they took Wanda the Brave to the detail shop for her new owners. There is a “sale pending” on the LD website. In the afternoon, Dee and Jim came over for a visit. Unfortunately, Tawanda had just been taken over to a service bay for her last fix. I didn’t even get a chance to get my camera out of her. We sat in a new coach that was just a few sites away from us that has a similar floor plan. I still like ours better but it was a relaxing spot. She was returned to us late in the evening.
We finally had a couple of days that we knew we weren’t going to have Tawanda taken away from us so we just enjoyed doing our thing. While I read through a volume of the owner’s manual, Gin spent most of the day Saturday and Sunday installing her electronics. Let’s see…that’s Wii, XBOX 360, Play Station 3, Roku, Digital Video Media Player, 10TB file server, Cradle Point Router, and an 8 port switch. It’s all Greek to me!! It looked like the cable fairy threw up in here.
We did mange to take the e-bikes for a ride around the grounds here and we found Wanda sitting outside the Detail Shop. Her tires were shining nicely.
We noticed that the hood was opened and saw the reason why. Someone had obviously bumped into her while she sat there! There was a little bit of fiberglass on the ground under her bumper.
I’m glad I don’t have to worry about it but it was a bit sad to see. She needs a good nose job now.
Our delivery adviser told us that the window awnings and things that we ordered should be here on Tuesday so we are planning to stay here and get those put on before we leave. I sure hope that goes well and we can find a CG to stay in before the weekend. This is a nice place to be, but we need to get a little closer to nature for a while. We have a park in mind but it’s first come with no reservations so that can be a little iffy.

Lazydays Crown Club
Lazydays (site CD97)
Seffner, Fl
First of all, Gin is doing much better. Here’s Archie who fixed that wonderful chicken noodle soup that helped with her recovery.
We had a tech try to replace one of the cracked tiles on Monday afternoon but he ended up cracking four other tiles around it just to get it out. We were a little upset but we knew that LD would take care of it and they did. They took Tawanda to the work bay on Tuesday and actually had to dislodge one of the slide-outs to be able to replace the tiles. We stayed in the work bay on Tuesday and Wednesday night because they had to make sure that the tile and grout were properly dried before the slide-out could come back in. It was nice to still have Wanda to lounge in back at the buddy site. Today they brought Tawanda back to our site and Karen from house keeping came over and did a great job cleaning everything up. It feels like home. There’s only a couple of small things to have done tomorrow and we will probably leave on Monday. They plan to take Wanda away tomorrow for a little time in the rv spa before she is put on the lot to find a new owner. She’s been good to us and I think she has a lot more fun left in her.
I have already commented about how nice it is here at Lazydays Crown Club and how wonderful the people are but I want to share a few photos of it here. Here’s the Crown Club building and Andrea in the reception area.
From the reception area you can go upstairs to the dining area where Archie and his great staff cook three meals a day, six days a week. Even we can’t eat that much!
There are several offices down the hallways and a few sitting areas to relax in while your coach is in for service. Here is a pet friendly lobby and one of the many beautiful paintings hanging on the walls.
One office here is for Tiffany, our delivery advisor, but she is usually too busy to be inside. She keeps the customers happy by scheduling the repair jobs that pop up.
We have met several nice customers here during our two weeks stay but we have shared the dinner table with two couples more than any others. Don and Jinny are having their coach serviced and have many interesting tales of their lives and awning problems on past rigs. Georgia and Joe are trading in their Monaco for a Tiffin Bus and have moved most of their stuff over.
We’ve enjoyed washing some clothes tonight and relaxing in Tawanda. We need a few days to bond with our new home. It feels real comfortable. If any of you are thinking about buying a new rv, please consider Lazydays.
Life is what you make of it…don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.

We're Still Here...
Lazydays (site CD97)
Seffner, Fl
We've only spent one night at the work bay but that doesn't mean that they haven't been working on Tawanda. On Thursday, we took the Driver's Confidence Course while they did some touch up painting. Yes, she had another day in the rv spa. The driving course was a quick hour and a half classroom in the morning and then drive around in their parking lot a little bit in the afternoon. They use one of their diesel trade-ins that is very similar to our new rig. Here's a link to some videos that summarize the info. We both drove the course along with 3 other couples. For me, the biggest difference in driving a diesel vs a gas mh is the location of the brake. It comes up from the floor right next to the gas pedal. I found myself picking up my leg way too high to find the brake pedal. I'll get used to it though.
Friday morning they came by to get Tawanda for another day of pampering. We decided that we needed to get away from Lazydays for a bit so we drove down to Myakka River State Park to pop in on Sherry and David, and Nancy and Bill. We didn't have any plans and we didn't even grab a camera. We tried calling them just before we got there to surprise them but didn't get an answer on the phone. We thought they might be out on a hike or something so we would just check out the park. Well, just as we pulled up to the park's entry, they were driving out in their cars. Talk about perfect timing! If I had stepped back in the mh to get the camera, we would have missed each other! We joined them on a hike in a nearby nature preserve. Sherry did a nice post of the day with pics of course. We enjoyed a day of nature and wonderful friends and topped it off with ice cream at the campground store.
Saturday was spent hanging around Lazydays while they did a few more things to Tawanda. We rode the bikes around some and relaxed in Wanda to recover from the 6 mile nature hike. It's nice to have these buddy sites. Gin started developing a cold. On Sunday, we were able to relax with Tawanda all day since they take that day off. Gin's cold may actually be the flu. We watched the NFL playoffs in hi-def on the big tv so that was relaxing. On Monday, they picked up the mh bright and early to do some chassis work. I think they fixed the air leak or hiss at the front. Gin can barely breathe so when we went to lunch at the Crown Club, the head chef Archie noticed that she was under the weather. He asked her to come back for the happy hour and he was going to have some good chicken noodle soup just for her. He is a happy man who loves everyone and has a big personality. We now have some delicious homemade soup to help Gin get rid of her crud. That was so nice of him. I think tomorrow they will work on the cracked tile and will finish up with us soon. Hopefully we will be on the road before the weekend.

What day is it?
Lazydays Workbay #151
Seffner Fl
It’s all blending together. On Friday, we signed the paperwork on our new mh TAWANDA! and it was delivered to the buddy site in the afternoon. We spent much of the next five days moving things over. It took us about five years to get things just right in Wanda so that was a lot of stuff!
The first thing that was transferred was the special present that my niece Marie made for us. It's a life-size magnet of Smudge so that she will always be with us.
We got a lot done on Saturday and took a little break on Sunday. Bill, Nancy, Sherry and David came over from Hillsborough River SP. David had made a cherry pie for the occasion from scratch. It was delicious! Howard and Linda dropped by for a quick visit also and I think everyone liked Tawanda.
We went back to work on Monday and got just about everything piled into Tawanda, inside and out. It took more time on Tuesday to actually find a place to put stuff though. It’s amazing that a 33 foot mh holds so much stuff that you can barely fit it into a 40 footer.
We were inspired to check out Lazydays in part because of Karen and Al's experience with them when they bought their mh this past summer. They are staying in Zephyrhills and were able to come by for a visit. I have followed her blog for a while now and it was great to finally meet them. I was so tired that I‘m afraid that I forgot to get any photos. I know that I need to get my header changed soon too, but I’m thinking of doing a few other changes also.
We are in the workbay area for the next couple of nights because Lazydays is giving Tawanda a nose job. When you buy a nice DP from them, they treat you like royalty. They really don’t want us to leave until everything is perfect. There was some baked-on bug splat on the front Diamond Shield so they are painting and replacing it. The floor is ceramic tile and there are a couple of cracked ones. They are replacing them also. A few other things need to be corrected too so it will be a few more days before we leave here. That’s ok though since they feed us very well at the Crown Club. We’re getting spoiled since they treat us like queens.
Here are a few shots of the interior. If you see stuff laying around, just over look it. We finally got most of it put away.
If you’re wondering about our house closing, well let’s just say that I’m glad we went ahead and got the loan here. We got word today that the closing will be February 15. The mortgage lender needed a few weeks to do their paperwork. I told our realtor that it will go back on the market if they don’t meet that date. This time of year is usually a slow housing market so we’ll hold on to this buyer.
Thanks for dropping by, and enjoy each day of your life’s journey by finding beauty in the ordinary.

Hillsborough River to Lazydays
Lazydays (site CD97)
Seffner Fl
Tuesday was spent hanging around the campground (Hillsborough River SP). We relaxed most of the day until Nancy, Bill and Sherry and David arrived in the afternoon. It was great to see them. And guess what…Nancy and Bill accepted an offer on their house! We are so happy for them! In the evening, we enjoyed a campfire at our site. Another RV-Dreams couple was there, Al and Karen, so they joined in on the fun and shared their stories of selling their business and house in New York along with working at Amazon. It was a great way to wrap up the day. Here’s the site we were on…#35…a big one.
Wednesday was set aside for the RV Supershow in Tampa but first, Gin and I stopped by at Lazydays with some electronics for them to install in TAWANDA! We walked around the RV Show with Sherry, David, Nancy and Bill. It’s a big show! After checking out some of the vender booths, we walked to the motorhomes. Since Nancy and Bill had signed a contract on their house, they were serious about finding just the right rig. I think that they narrowed it down a bit. Especially when we all got caught in the rain inside a 34Y and were pretty comfortable. It was interesting for me because I didn’t dream about the new rigs since TAWANDA is waiting for us. We just enjoyed the company instead.
Today, Thursday, we visited with our friends some before leaving Hillsborough River to go to Lazydays. We got some unwelcome news from our realtor. The house is not going to close this week either. We stressed out for a bit but regrouped. When we arrived at LD, we were escorted to a buddy site in the Crown Club section. Juan checked out Wanda and gave her a clean bill of health for the trade-in. We went to the finance office and spoke with Dianne. We told her about our situation with the house and asked her to check on a loan for us. It was no problem since we were able to put a chunk of change down. Now I will be able to sleep tonight. Here’s the buddy site and Wanda’s new Lazydays sticker.
The buddy sites are designed so that the new rig can be parked next to the trade-in and our personal property can be transferred by us. That’s our plan of action for the next couple of days. We’re scheduled for their Driver’s Confidence Course on Thursday. That should give us the time to check out the new rig pretty good. Keep your fingers crossed because we’re pretty excited!
Life is what you make of it…don’t worry about things that you have no control over.

Tuesday was spent hanging around the campground (Hillsborough River SP). We relaxed most of the day until Nancy, Bill and Sherry and David arrived in the afternoon. It was great to see them. And guess what…Nancy and Bill accepted an offer on their house! We are so happy for them! In the evening, we enjoyed a campfire at our site. Another RV-Dreams couple was there, Al and Karen, so they joined in on the fun and shared their stories of selling their business and house in New York along with working at Amazon. It was a great way to wrap up the day. Here’s the site we were on…#35…a big one.
