See Ya Later, Florida Keys

Today was our last day in John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo. I hate to leave, even though I spent most of the week sick with some cold or flu-type illness and have done nothing but sit in a chair outside of the motor home and read. I finished the pair of BBS I had on the needles, and cast on for a pair of socks for a friend, but only finished about 5 rows on the first one. I was too tired and dizzy to do much of anything. Luckily SP is happy to entertain himself. He biked and kayaked and generally had a good time. I did drag myself out to dinner every night, and had to make the usual decisions - grouper, dolphin or yellowtail? I'd love to add some photos, but I really didn't take any. There is no WiFi here, but my bluetooth phone really works well as a wireless modem.
I was very disappointed that the night of the eclipse was so overcast here. There were a lot of our fellow campers out and about moon-watching. The clouds would break up just enough to give us a glimpse, then cover up again.
Normally we stay further south - Islamorada, Upper Matecumbe, Tavenier - but it was fine up here in Key Largo.
Tomorrow we head north to visit our friends Pat and Tom. They are staying in Punta Gorda for a month while looking for a home in the area. We'll stay with them for a few days and then head back up to SP's Mom's in Port Richey.
Even though the week was mostly overcast, there are no bad days in the Keys.

Rain in February - it's better than snow and ice

What to do on a windy, rainy day....

Clean?  No, that would require changing the belt on my vacuum, and I don't feel like doing  that today.

Finish painting the half-finished room?  Nooo

Laundry, grocery shopping, re-caulk the tub?  Nah.

Spin?  That would be a big yes if I didn't have two of my 3 bobbins full and resting until I can ply the singles to the third bobbin.  (3 new bobbins are on the way, though.  Yay!).

Knit?  I've already knitted my bit on my Socks For Soldiers today, and learned and completed a beaded picot cast on for Ice Queen .  I'm up to row 4 of the chart.   I'm using 100purewool in light blue that has been waiting in my basket for a year or more.  It is so pretty with the sparkly beads.   

I'm taking a little break from that.

I know - I can felt soap!  I received my Copperpot Woolies  Clubby package yesterday, and along with some stunning spinning fiber, I received a bunch of  fiber to felt and a bar of soap.  The idea is to felt the soap, send it back in the enclosed envelope to be entered in the contest.  The soap will then be donated to a local charity.  Here is my first attempt -

I'm so proud of my new skills.  I'm fairly confident the felt won't fall off. 

I have some Body Shop soap, so I'll felt it too and send it along.

Hmmm, I wonder if all of my relatives would like a bar of felted soap.  

I just bet they would, so I'd better get busy.

Oh, and boys?  I think it's time to break that little streak we have going with those fellas across the river.
