Summer is Here and so is the new Park Manager!

You can tell there's not much going on here at TT Peace River, when I'm spending my time taking pictures of these very frequent visitors to our site.  Most of you know that we're parked way back on the H Row.  Many a visitor says they couldn't stay back here with all the "snakes and alligators".    Well we haven't seen any snakes or gators, but here are a few little ones that dropped by the other day while I was sitting out doing my Killer Sudoku Puzzles.

This fellow (?) was making his way north via the path that cuts along the edge of the woods.   Made me think of our beagle "Beau".  He's pounced on one of these more than one time..
As we were returning from town later in the day there was a dozen turkey buzzards at the entrance to the park feasting on a dead armadillo.....Hope it wasn't this little one.

We are awakened each morning with these little ones running across the roof of the RV.  I remember the first time - when Rich saw one run across the skylight in the bedroom.    I think this one thinks he's know an official member of the Donald family- making himself at home at the picnic table bench.

At times there's 5,6 or more of these little squirrels playing and chasing each other up and down the tree.  Again..........Beau would have had a ball.  One of his favorite past times was trying to climb the tree to get one of these.

I told you they think they're part of the family.  We definitely do not feed them, but they have come right up on the patio.........This one stops nicely to let me snap a picture!!

Anyway - we have just over a week before we take off for  Cocoa Beach.  The days are getting longer and longer, with not too many people around.  And the weather is turning so hot an muggy.  We had a nice thunderstorm this afternoon, though that seemed to cool things down a bit. 

For those of you that frequent TT Peace River - Elnor, the park manager this past year has left the park.  We talked to her before she left to wish her well in her retirement.  She's looking forward to not having to work any more.  And the new park manager has arrived.  Her name is Lee Collins; and she is coming here from TT in Orlando.   She has Rich doing some research on getting some new posts put in on the pickleball courts, and I'm trying to find some pictures of "members" for a project she's she's working on.

Tomorrow we're heading over to Kings Point in Sun City Center to play a little pickleball with Louann and her group. Lee and Patti (she's the new ranger that's working in the store) have asked for pickleball lessons. (Lee wants some one on one coaching from Rich.  She's determined to beat (badly) her friend Arik.  So Monday and Tuesday nights are scheduled for training and playing. And on Sunday we're all meeting at Nick and Tonya's for a cookout.

  1. LOL at Lee wanting to be able to beat Aric at pickleball. She's a sweetie. Hope she finds a home at Peace River!
