Oh my gosh we have had so much rain here in the happy zone. Yesterday cable was out for about six hours. Don stumbled across the street twice to "check" on us. Rich and Carole stopped by to visit, but there was a whole lot of nothing going on. The grass is nice and green, plants don't need watering, and hopefully this weekend we're going to be drying out just a bit, oh and don't anybody worry, the Happy Zone RV's and properties received no damage that I saw. Although there was one really gross incident on Monday. The renters in Wayne and Sue's site pulled out and didn't close off there black tank valve. Thank God I didn't see this. I guess they didn't dump the tank before taking off either. There was one hell of a mess to clean up from what I'm told. Rich had to make a run for bleach and he and Robert hosed the site and street down. Well maybe all this rain was a blessing from above. Can you imagine the remnants of a black tank baking in the street. YUCK!!!!!!!!!
Word on the street has it that the happy zone will have in attendance Dennis & Lana, Rich & Carole, Scott & Debbie, and Steve & Ruth anne. Scott said he would help Steve install the motor in our bedroom slide, Rich has offered his services too, and I'm sure we will work Dennis in there before all is said and done. Debbie and I talked about possibly taking a shopping trip if it gets too hot, I don't think it will take much convincing to get Lana and Carole on board with that idea. Robert and Celeste went to jacksonville and are staying till next week. It's this bloggers opinion that they are having a last "hurrah" at the house before it belongs to someone else, yes that's right my blogger friends, and remember you heard it here first. There are no confirmed reports of this kind of activity going on in Jacksonville but I would stake my reputation on it.
Well I think that's all for now kids, more will be reported as it happens. Happy travels and stay safe out there.

Happy Memorial Day!
This update is coming to you from the water logged campground.
The long weekend activities kicked off with the Baker's making a trip to Casselberry and coming home with new outdoor furniture. Well at least we think they got new furniture, Ruth anne won't let anyone sit on it so we aren't sure. Then later that night we had great news with the pending sale of the Wade estate. We spent the rest of the evening watching the parade of incoming campers, golf carts, and crazies.
Saturday started out nice but soon turned hotter then hell. The Happy Zone had late arrivals, the Stewart's were late coming in, damn retail. The Memorial Day BBQ was pushed up a day because of the storm coming our way. The Wades hosted dinner and boy did we eat well. Steve started at 4AM, yes I did say AM, slow cooking a pork butt, Carole came by to ask him how his butt was coming along and I think he got concerned. How forward of her, in front of his wife even, but then he realized she was talking about the roast and I think he was a little disappointed. Robert tried his hand at ribs and he did a damn good job. Rich and Carole wanted to make stuffed shrimp but they didn't come in, in time, so Carole brought cole slaw, Clayton has some competition, and a nice salad. Debby made famous root beer baked beams and a new favorite, Texas caviar. What a dinner we had. We ate to excess, as usual.
Now on Sunday we finished off the leftovers between rain showers and we are now sitting in the comfort of the Stewart's RV watching the NASCAR race, well the younger ones are watching the race the other ones have gone home for an early bedtime. I won't tell you what Debby called them. Tomorrow they are forecasting more showers so we will probably have a lazy day.
I hope all of you Happy Zoner's are having a wonderful Memorial Day, where ever you are and you all stay safe and sound. More from the Happy Zone at Home later.

May 22, 2012 Update
Last
Saturday we set out to the Blueberry Festival, not so great. We got there
plenty early and we still missed out on blueberries, blueberry muffins,
and blueberry pies. Can you believe that, no blueberries at the BLUEBERRY
FESTIVAL!!!! Whatever! I did hear someone singing Blue Christmas, yes Debby, I
realize the theme of the day was "blue", but really Blue
Christmas? I don't think so. I'm just
say'n. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time listening to people give the
cops lip, not smart if you ask me. We checked all the crafts. We even found a
few we can try ourselves. Yes we have more crafts to do in the Happy Zone.
Today a few of us (three to be
exact) went to a matinee showing of the movie "Battleship". I'm going
to use this blog update to introduce the Happy Zone Movie Rating System, the
"Golf Cart Scale". 
One Golf Cart = don't waste your money
Two Golf Carts = eth, not so bad
Three Golf Carts = good
Four Golf Carts = very good
Five Golf Carts = EXCELLENT
Two Golf Carts = eth, not so bad
Three Golf Carts = good
Four Golf Carts = very good
Five Golf Carts = EXCELLENT
So now that
you have an understanding of the Golf Cart Scale, I rate Battleship at 4.5 Golf
Carts. It was a good movie. Don't believe the critics, they are by nature
critical. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 35%, IMDb gave it a 6.3 out of a
potential 10. Now come on guys, it's a movie. It's entertainment, it's not
supposed to cure the ills of the world. Just give you a few exciting minutes in
a dark room with strangers all around.
This
weekend we will be having our Memorial Day Get Together. The Wades have graciously
offered to host our party. Robert is going to cook up some ribs, Steve is going
to slow cook a pork butt, Rich and Carole are going to stuff some shrimp, and
Debby is going to cook up a pot of baked beans. Oh we have got some good eating
ahead of us, as usual. We decided to do our celebrating on Sunday, that way we
can polish off any left overs (yeah, like we aren't going to have left
overs-come on guys, we ALWAYS over cook), on Monday.
So there
you have it, the what's happen'in in the Happy Zone.

New Blog
It was brought up while sitting around talking like we always do, that we ought to have a blog that those of you that are traveling can check to see what we who were left at home are up to. I think the honest motivation was that we wanted to make you so jealous of all the things we are doing and what fun you guys on the road are miss out on, so there! ha ha!
Anyway so we will be making updates here that you can read and we will make sure to have some photos when the occasion allows and we will be missing you till you're home again.
