Well, We have been in Melbourne for two weeks now. The time has flown by and we are pretty settled into our respective routines. In the mornings I chase things---both real and imaginary. I spend a lot of time trying to catch the seeds from the live oak that fall on our awning and roof. The make a lot of noise when the wind blows and I know one day some will blow in somewhere. In the meantime I’m going to keep an eye on them! I stand guard in the bathroom (on top of my box, looking out of the door. ) So far I’ve seen 2 turtles, a raccoon, an armadillo and two shelties. They all looked fun to play with, except the armadillo---he looked just plain scary. In the afternoon, I sleep on the human’s bed while they go to the beach, and in the evenings I sleep on the cushion at the table while the humans watch TV, work on the computer or have guests.

R&N have been busy too. They go out to eat a lot and go to Paradise Beach and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean. Nancy has been sewing and Ron is catching up on his reading. This week our neighbor from the lake came to see us. She is staying in a condo on the beach not too far from here. So the humans got to swim in the pool there and one night she even came over here for supper. The next door neighbors gave us some shrimp that they caught on Eau Gallie causeway and we had them for a treat that night. They were yummy!

There have been morning coffee get togethers every Tuesday, a pot-luck dinner put on by the campers on Thursday this week and Friday night there was a dance. Every other Thursday a lot of the women go out for lunch at a local restaurant. Saturday I was left alone all day----pretty lonely for me. Nancy went to a genealogy seminar and Ron went skeet shooting. Nancy got to hear Dick Eastman speak on a variety of subjects. He writes a blog about genealogy and technology. (http://blog.eogn.com/) and also one about his RV adventures (http://rv.dickeastman.com/). Today R&N went to Grant Seafood Festival and feasted on all sorts of yummy things. Tomorrow is game day. R&N haven’t done this before, so I’ll have to fill you in on it later. All we know so far is that they are going to play yard games and there is a pot-luck for supper.
All last week it was in the high 80s and 90s and today the temps were in the 60s! Go figure………..
