We drove for 2 days straight because we had 2 big dogs and even the "pet friendly" hotels had restrictions on how many and how big your pets were. We got here about 11:30 at night but the realtor misunderstood the day we were arriving and had not dropped off the key. We called our friend and he and his wife came over with a key and 2 bottles of wine and 4 glasses and that was our welcome to The Villages. We used an air mattress for the night and our furniture arrived the next day.

Isn't it more fun when things go wrong sometimes? When nothing goes wrong it gets a little boring and predictable. Mr. Rogers says when things go wrong, look for the helpers. They are always around. We all take turns being helpers. Helping feels pretty good.

We checked into The Lifestyle House in Lake Sumter and were relieved to be here safely and loved the house we were given. The next day we got the dreaded call that the N.J. Closing was going to be delayed for an unknown length of time.

I called Pods and our unit was NOTHING but on its way already. Decision time? Decided to stay, things worked out in about two weeks. The money sure did calm our nerves. We now are totally out of N.J. Real Estate wise. What a relief.

Was it fun, not at all. Have we been through worse, of course. I’m sick of moving but you never know.

Haven't honored a NOTHING post as :eclipsee_gold_cup: in a very long time, but I think this time you're the winner, tomwed. Great stuff!

Of course you know what the prize is, need I even say it? Nope, I don't, already got my NOTHING in......:laugh:

No how no way unless I can’t control the situation. We’re NOTHING but home in The Villages with an occasional trip to Coleman to see friends.:1rotfl:

Yep, you must stay close to your friends, especially your NOTHING friends. When I get there we're going to have a NOTHING party. Maybe I'll even rent out the NOTHING restaurant if there's enough of us. Maybe we could get some old friends to attend :cool:

And of course, somebody has to start a NOTHING club. Here are the shirts I had made up already -

Do nothing club T shirt

All lights appear to be on anxiously awaiting the evening report from the Kommander.

What a great bunch of NOTHINGS we have here........

I’m here. NOTHING but pooped. Long day. We lit lots of fire today to try to establish some control lines. I bet the acreage on the fire doubles tomorrow because of all the burn outs we did.
I’m too tired to shower. Thank goodness Mrs. K sends me off with those hospital bathing wipes.

Since nobody figured how hot the outhouse was. Can you tell me how hot my tent got today? It was so hot that my deodorant melted. lol

I can't even imagine the level of exhaustion you must feel. NOTHING but good to know you are alright though. Thanks for probably using your last ounce of energy to post. Sleep tight. I'm sure that wil be the easiest thing you've done all day. :)

Btw, NOTHING but about 120 degrees. Do I get a prize for that?

But it's a dry heat. Sorry I couldn't resist. I'm NOTHING but bad.

I have no idea how hot. But it was definitely a dry heat. NOTHING lol. Almost forgot that.
See you guys tonight.

No, more like NOTHING but funny :1rotfl:

So, K, if I was a really good den mother and I lived closer I would be bringing you a new thing of deodorant......maybe in a spray form? I don't know - how high must a temp reach before that would explode?

And if somebody else was around here, his only concern would probably be what was going on in that tent to get it up to 120 degrees. Hey, he's not around to make trouble, so somebody's gotta do it. :p

Anyway, in case you are losing track of the days out there, it is Friday, August 10th. Usually a good day for you, TGIF and all, but probably not so much right now.
