The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Hunkered down for the night
We got to the time share, settled in and did our grocery shopping. I had a problem with my camera and had to get some software to recover all the pictures I had on the memory card. They were all of the last three months. It was very nerve wracking. The hotel room last night had wi-fi, but this place doesn't. This place is supposed to be a lot nicer, but they don't even have a DVD player. That seems weird to me, but we are only going to be here about half the days and those we'll probably spend at the pool, so it doesn't matter for us. My sister was going to watch movies and relax, but she brought books to read too. They have these bugs here called "love bugs". They fly around hooked together mating. They were created by Florida State University and they got loose into the wild. Now everywhere you go, the front of people's cars are just plastered in bug gut goo. They don't bite, and I don't see that they serve any purpose, but there are clouds of them and sometimes a pair will land on you. You have to ride around with the windows up. We got down to Publix which is a grocery. I thought all their prices were ridiculous. It was almost $4 for a gallon of milk. We got just barely enough groceries for the days that we'll not be at the parks. We are going to save money by eating breakfast here, then taking snacks to the park. Hopefully we can get by with only one "serious meal" per day. Well we are pretty exhausted now. So its time to get some.....zzzzzzzzzzz...
