\nWe arrived in Sun City Center about noon. After stopping at the post office and Winn Dixie, we got to our place about 12:45. The place is dusty but in good shape.<\/p>\n


\nThe bougainvillea, which we feared had died after last winter’s heavy frosts, is in bloom but needs more pruning. It had been about eight feet tall, now it’s half that, but at least it survived.<\/p>\n

In 2008, we brought a small six inch poinsettia in a 3″ pot. It had one or two flowers. Last year, when we arrived just before Christmas it was lovely.<\/p>\n

When we got down here today, it had doubled in size. Of course, it’s not time for it to flower, but it’s going to be awesome during the holiday season. It stands over four feet tall, and it’s a good three feet across. My pansies had died, and the flower beds where they’d been planted are overgrown with weeds, but I’ll get them to look nice again. <\/p>\n

It’ll take a few days to get everything polished up, but I love it here! <\/p>\n

So far Mel & Jean and Wayne & Linda have stopped in. Our neighbors have stopped us to welcome us. <\/p>\n

We attended the Pelican Players (drama club) potluck but it was small. It’s obvious everyone hasn’t returned yet. <\/p>\n

John said he already feels better here. The six months will fly by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
