10 days until spring. I can't believe we all made it through that brutally cold winter. It was over 70F yesterday.
Cousin #2 is beside herself with happiness. Aside from loving her trailer and the surroundings, she has been finding food/alcohol bargains. The cost of living in Homosassa is 16% lower than the rest of Florida. The dog loves the yard and spends a lot of time out there with her.
J came yesterday and got quite a bit done. If I decide to move, I will rely on her heavily to pack up tons of belongings to donate or to move.
Breakfast - Granola bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Chicken Cordon Bleu, mashed potatoes, Lima beans, roll, applesauce
Dessert/Snack - Brownie, low salt nuts
Dinner - Stouffer's Chicken and Rice, cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

I truly hate the hot summer temperatures when it gets so terribly miserable. I can always put more layers on in the winter, but there are limits to what a person can take off and still be decent!

@LindaOHio I'm sure she's having fun exploring her new place and talks to you a few times a day. At least you both are keeping in touch even though I'm sure you both miss each other.

I love pork chops.
Cousin #2 calls me a couple of times a day to tell me about her latest discoveries.

Thank you. I still haven't decided. If I move, I would still have to live alone.

@LindaOHio - You would live alone but closer to cousin #2 who helped you a lot during the past year.

It was 76F in my part of Missouri yesterday. My bedroom got too warm to be comfortable for me. I opened the door so the heat went out into the rest of the house. We really need to put some type of coating on the West facing windows to block the heat.
I ate a sausage, egg and chees croissant for breakfast and made a huge pork loin roast with potatoes and onions with garlic and spices. It is really good! I'll need to look at cutting it up and bagging most of the meat for the freezer.

@LindaOHio Yes, we have blackout drapes on every window. They don't block out enough of the heat from the sun hitting those windows.

I love a good pork roast. Have you tried insulated drapes? I have them on the windows in the living room. Keeps the heat and cold out.

Only 10 days to go Linda
It does indeed seem like we have all made it through the horrible winter weather and the doom and gloom that goes with it.
Yay for us.
Would you like to go and live in Homosassa Linda?

I'd like to live in Homosassa; but I don't want to live alone. That would duplicate my situation here. The only thing is that the winters would be warmer and I could visit cousin #2.

That is great that she loves her new home. I'm sorry that you moving there didn't work the way you thought it might. It's not fair that her groceries are less there. I have noticed that some groceries items to be lowering a bit in price here.

@LindaOHio are there any condos there? A big house for one person is not great.

I wish our weather was as nice...but when you all got the brutal cold we didn't. So, I guess it is only fair.
We've had crazy wind the past couple days.
That's good you'd have her to help with packing things up if you do decide to move.

It sounds like things are going really well there! Homosassa seems like a nice place, especially if the cost of living is lower and the dog has a yard to enjoy. Your meals sound pretty good too. Yesterday I had a simple day with food—nothing as organized as yours! What’s your favorite thing about living there so far?

I didn't know she had a trailer. You really would not want to live there I don't think..too cramped even if a double wide. March and April are still pretty nice in that area..my former in laws lived there, but after that,,,not so good.

Yay, you went an entire day without a PB&J!!
I recall making a chicken rice casserole and broccoli. The son loved it, so it was a win. It did taste really good.
I know cousin #2 has her cousin there, is there any way she can meet some other people, too? I hope so. And it's great that she is adapting so well.
