What the title means

So I don't really have much to write about today. I finally finished painting the kitchen today. We decided that a light yellow would be nice. The name of the shade was "peaceful calm" which sounds harmless enough. But after the choice was made a friend of mine who is in the paint business reminded me that yellow covers really badly. And yellow over coffee type of a color is even worse. So what I thought would take a gallon has taken 3.5 gallons. But today it is done!! I have to put the kitchen back together tomorrow and then move on to the next project.

I got a nice comment from Debbie who asked where the title Gators and Grapefruit came from. First, thank you for reading and following the blog, Debbie! The significance of the title is first that our dream is to be in Florida, specifically in the St. Augustine area. After many visits there and to Jacksonville including the weekend of the Florida- FSU game, we have become Florida Gators fans. Grapefruit is a favorite fruit and probably in the top five of favorite foods. Seems they grow a few of them in Florida. Unfortunately, due to health issues and resulting medication, I ave been unable to eat grapefruit for about the past three years. So when I got thinking of a title for the blog, it's the first thing that came to mind. Of course the whole episode has created a real craving for grapefruit which is a lot like cheating on your wife: you can dream about it and stay healthy. But acting on it would not be pretty! Thanks for asking!

Well, I am not sure which will pop up next, a project at the house or a project here at the camper. We feel like there is a lot of sway and wopple in our camper. We have electric stabilizers and I can't really get a feel for how firm they should be. And the springs feel really soft. So between myself, Faith and the puppies, things can get rocking in here. So I have to address the issue. Just not sure how I am going to go about it. I am also thinking of upgrading the TV. This rig came with. 19 inch TV which is fine in the bedroom but not so good from any distance. I have seen a couple of discussions about people with similar rigs upgrading to a 32 inch. I need to measure and price parts, etc. but it could be the next project.

We continue to adjust to the concept that we live here. This campsite is our home! But we are having a wonderful time of it! More soon. ~ Cheers!
