Bradenton, FL
Today I was demanding, vocal, and stubborn. (I was going to say “unreasonable” but Beth decided I was well within my rights.) I did not want to sleep another night at Pat’s house. Since we’d been able to pack up nearly half our belongings into the truck yesterday, I thought we should surely be able to get the other half over to the trailer today. Many things tried to get us off track, but I was bound and determined. Even #$^@^-y at times. But, it worked – we got nearly everything out of the house and into the truck.
Kelly decided to put the new gasket in the toilet before we truly settled in. Remember the toilet? We sure did! She had taken it apart several times, so it was easy for her. And, since it was clean, it wasn’t too much of a Gross Event. Nothing like a new gasket to make one feel secure in one’s eliminations - and the flushing of one’s eliminations!

Our camp site was spitting distance to the Braden River. There were paths, boardwalks, benches, and docks all along the river’s edge. We saw three Black Crowned Night Herons, very very close. They were noisy birds – loud and frequent squawking. (http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-crowned_Night-Heron/lifehistory)
Out of curiosity, we decided to unfurl the antenna and plug in the TV. A TV the size of an index card looks huge when you’re sitting right in front of it. And to our surprise, it pulled in amazingly clear pictures! We had all three networks, plus a few extras, all crystal clear.
Tonight was our first night in our trailer – our home – since December 15 and it felt like a little slice of heaven.
