We had sunshine and blue skies with a few clouds today, but
with the steady breeze, lots of folks were decked out in fleeces and
hoodies. Other creatures were decked out
at Dunedin RV Resort, because today was the pet parade! We saw some of the contestants on their way
to the event, little dogs dressed in silly clothes trotting past our site. Algarve, John and Fawn’s Portuguese waterdog,
would have been a handsome addition to the competition with his white bib and
curly black fur, (we thought) but he and the yappy small fry don’t get along
all that well, we’re told, so it might have been a bit tense.
Valentine’s Day, on Thursday, brought a drizzling rain that
came down steadily all day. We treated
John and Fawn to lunch, since it was their 31st anniversary, and
then after a restful afternoon, prepared for the Valentine dance at the
clubhouse. It was a lovely event, with
live music by a couple who catered perfectly to an audience of a certain age,
with songs from the 50s and 60s! The
moment that gave me the biggest laugh was when a couple of people well into
their sixties laid down on the dance floor for the song “Rollin’ on the River”,
and rolled back and forth with every refrain of “rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on
the river”!
Another highlight was when Val found the heart sticker on
the bottom of his chair, which meant he had won the centrepiece at our table –
one of the begonia plants I had decorated the day before! We passed it over to John and Fawn to plant
on their site.
Friday was a get-things-done day, with a trip to the grocery
store and the purchase of a new mouse for our laptop. The old one gave up the ghost, which happens
with these bits of technology eventually.
The new one is even better, so we’re not complaining.
Today we made the reservations for the RV parks we’ll be
staying at next weekend when we finally leave Dunedin. It’s hard to believe our month here is almost
over. More adventures are in store,
however, both this coming week and after that!
