We have been in Leesburg, FL at the Holiday Travel RV Resort since Saturday.  When we arrived we were shown to a site that only had 30 amps of electricity instead of the promised 50, so today we moved to a better site.  It will be really helpful if we need to use the air conditioner.  Today it reached 80 degrees.  Our new site has a huge live oak tree festooned with Spanish Moss.
We went to sister, Nancy's house where she and Ken were hosting a Dine-a-round for 4 neighbors.  It was fun.  Everyone gathered at their house, we went out to dinner and then came back for dessert and to get to know each other better.  They do this about once a month.  Yesterday Nancy, a friend of hers from Virginia and I went to a huge Arts Fair in The Villages while Gary, Ken and the friend's husband played golf.
About The Villages.  This is a huge, unique city in central Florida about an hour north of Orlando. It has 42 golf courses and more being built every year.  Every activity known to man is represented here.  There is pickleball, horseback riding, tennis, polo, swimming, archery, water aerobics, bocci, baseball and many other sports as well as crafts such as stained glass and fused glass lessons, arts of all kinds, singing, acting, line dancing, etc.  It is well known for its conservative politics, which is not us, but it is also known for its high percentage of STDs, although that may be just a rumor.
