mars fut un mois très occupé, car c'est le mois des partys. Nous avons eu le
party/souper des Bénévoles pour remercier les centaines de gens qui
s'impliquent de plusieurs façons dans le parc. Il y a eu aussi le
party/souper Bye-Bye qui permettait aux gens
de fêter avant leur grand départ vers le nord.
Ce soir-là, la musique était jouée par le groupe "Les Buddies"
qui était le même groupe qui ont joué au party de fête de Danielle, le mois
passé.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;">Au début de
mars, pour célébrer la Journée de la Femme, Danielle a participé au tournoi de
pétanque. Plus tard, le frère de Ronald, Richard et sa conjointe Nicole sont
venus nous visiter pour quelques jours.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;">À la
mi-mars, Danielle a participé à l'exposition d'artisanat et de peinture. Elle a exposé et vendu plusieurs de ses
petites créations. Il y avait plusieurs
exposants avec plein de talents. Pour se garder occupé, nous sommes allés à la
plage et marché sur la passerelle à Hollywood, pris des photos au Wakodahatchee
Wetland, pris des photos des activités dans le parc, continué avec le
photo-rallye hebdomadaire, se baigné à la piscine et marché tous les jours dans
ce beau parc.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;">Le 17 mars,
nous avons célébré la ST-PATRICK avec un défilé de bicyclettes et des chariots
de golf décorés. Il y avait une centaine
de personnes costumées pour l'occasion. Nous avons terminé la soirée avec un
souper pizza, payé par le parc, servi à plus de 600 personnes, et de la
musique/danse à la piscine.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;">Au début du
mois, le port du masque pour le Covid n'était plus obligatoire, mais on devait
laver nos mains souvent. Malheureusement les gens ont fait moins attention et
nous avons eu une éclosion de cas, même nous avons été atteint pour quelques
jours. Les activités ont dû cesser plus tôt avant la fin de mars.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nous avons
préparer la maison pour notre départ. Ronald est monté sur le toit pour
vérifier le calfeutrage. Nous avons préparé et installé les auvents
anti-ouragan, emballage de la salle de couture pour faire de la place pour
entreposer le BBQ, les bicyclettes et meubles extérieurs.</span></span></div><div><span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span lang="FR-CA" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Tout va bien maintenant, et nous allons repartir

parties. We had the Volunteer party/supper to thank the hundreds of people who
are involved in many ways in the park. There was also the Bye-Bye party/supper
which allowed people to celebrate before their big departure north. The music
that night was played by the band "The Buddies" which was the same
band that played at Danielle's birthday party last month.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">At the beginning of March, to celebrate Women's Day,
Danielle took part in the pétanque tournament. Later, Ronald's brother, Richard
and his spouse Nicole came to visit us for a few days.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In mid-March, Danielle took part in the craft and painting
exhibition. She showed and sold several of her small sewing creations. There
were several exhibitors with lots of talent. To keep busy, we went to the beach
and walked the boardwalk in Hollywood, took pictures at Wakodahatchee Wetland,
took pictures of activities in the park, continued with the weekly photo-rallies,
swam at the pool and walked every day in this beautiful park.<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">On March 17, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a parade
of bicycles and decorated golf carts. There were about a hundred people dressed
up for the occasion. We ended the evening with a pizza dinner, paid for by the
park, served to over 600 people, and music/dancing at the pool.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">At the beginning of the month, wearing a mask for the Covid
was no longer mandatory, but we had to wash our hands often. Unfortunately
people paid less attention and we had an outbreak of cases. We also fell victim
to Covid for a few days. The activities had to cease earlier before the end of
March.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">We prepared the house for our departure. Ronald went up to
the roof to check the caulking. We prepared and installed the hurricane shutters,
packed the sewing room to make room for storing the BBQ, bicycles and outdoor
furniture.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">All is well now, and we are leaving at the beginning of
April, when the roads are less busy of snow birds.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal">

en Floride. Le 10, à la fête de
Danielle, Ronald l'a surprise avec des musiciens qui sont venus pour faire un
"Street Party" avec une soixantaine de nos amis. On a chanté et dansé toute la soirée. Les musiciens l'ont surpris en chantant
"Si tu n'existais pas" de Joe Dassin. C'était la 1re chanson jouée à
notre mariage, il y a presque 43 ans passés.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Quelques jours plus tard, nous sommes allés au party
de la St-Valentin. Plus tard dans le mois, nous avons eu un souper spaghetti.
Danielle participe avec sa cousine Denise à la décoration de la salle communautaire
et des tables. Nous avons à tous les deux jeudis, un souper avec de la musique
près de la piscine. Un est payé par le parc et l'autre nous coûte que $5. Au
souper de hot dog, les bénévoles ont fait cuire plus que 1 100 hot dogs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Le temps passe vite. Danielle se garde occupée en
allant à l'aquaforme le matin, aux artisanes, deux fois par semaine, à la décoration de la salle pour les partys,
et à faire de la couture. Elle se
prépare pour la vente d'artisanat, qui aura lieu plus tard en mars. Ronald continue à s'occuper du photo-rallye
et il est le photographe attitré à toutes les activités.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nous avons visité nos amis, Yves et Darlene, qui

Vers la fin du mois, nous sommes allés les visiter à leur nouvelle

souvent à la piscine pour nous rafraichir. Deux fois par semaine. il y a des

really nice days in February here in Florida. On the 10th, on Danielle's birthday,
Ronald surprised her with two musicians who came to do a "Street
Party" with about sixty of our friends. We sang and danced all night. The
musicians surprised us by singing "Si tu n'existais pas" by Joe
Dassin. It was the first song played at our wedding, almost 43 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A few days
later, we went to the Valentine's Day party. Later, we had a spaghetti dinner.
Danielle participates with her cousin Denise in decorating the community hall
and the tables. We have every second Thursday, a dinner with music by the pool.
One is paid for by the park and the other costs us only $5. At the hot dog
dinner, volunteers cooked and served over 1,100 hot dogs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Time flies.
Danielle keeps herself busy by going to aqua fitness in the morning, to the artisans
twice a week, to decorating the community hall for the parties, and continues
her sewing. She is preparing for the craft sale, which will take place later in
March. Ronald continues to take care of the photo-rally and he is the
photographer assigned to all the activities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We visited
our friends, Yves and Darlene, who had rented a house a few kilometers from us. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Our friends Sylvie and Sylvain came to visit us.
Towards the end of the month, we went to visit them at their new home north of
Lake Okeechobee. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Also, we often go to the swimming pool to refresh ourselves. Twice a week,
there are musicians who entertain us. Every Friday afternoon, we go to play the
"Yahoo" card game. In the evening, we play "Little Mexican Train"

Pendant les fêtes, nous sommes allés voir une rue où presque toutes les maisons étaient illuminées avec des lumières de Noël. Une des maisons était très particulière avec 170 000 lumières. La veille du Jour de l'An, nous sommes allés en auto dans le parc Tradewinds, où on circule en auto pour voir plusieurs sculptures de lumières. Ce même soir, nous avons été surpris de voir beaucoup de feux d'artifice provenant des quartiers environnants de notre camping.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pendant le mois de janvier, nous avons changé les 6 fenêtres de la Florida Room pour rendre la salle plus sécuritaire. Danielle fait beaucoup de couture et d'artisanats. Elle aide avec la décoration de la salle communautaire. Elle devait s'occuper des cours d'anglais, mais à cause de la Covid, ceux-ci ont été annulés.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Il y a eu quelques cas de Covid dans le parc, ce qui a ralenti les activités intérieures comme les soupers, le bingo et les danses. Maintenant, il nous demande nos preuves de vaccination pour ces activités, et pour nous qui avons reçu notre troisième vaccin, ce n'est pas un problème. Ici dans les magasins, 80% portent des masques et 100% des employés le portent.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nous faisons plusieurs activités à l'extérieur comme écouter la musique à la piscine, faire une promenade, ainsi qu'aller se baigner à la piscine. Nous organisons aussi le photo-rallye. C'est une activité où les gens doivent identifier le terrain où se trouvent les 9 objets dans les photos. Il y a un nouveau rallye toutes les semaines, et Ronald reste toujours le photographe pour les activités du parc.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nous sommes aussi allés au Wakodahatchee Wetlands qui a un trottoir en bois dans un marécage où l'on a pu voir plusieurs espèces d'oiseaux, des alligators, des iguanes, des tortues et même un serpent python dans un arbre. En décembre, la température était plus chaude que celle de janvier, car les soirées sont plus fraiches maintenant.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;">On aime beaucoup notre petite maison que nous adaptons à nos goûts avec de nouveaux rideaux, des photos et quelques décors.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" wfd-id="31"><div class="MsoNormal" wfd-id="31"><div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">We had a fairly quiet Christmas and New Year's Day due to the Covid. During the holidays, we went to see a street where almost all the houses were lit up with Christmas lights. One of the houses was very unique with 170,000 lights. On New Year's Eve, we drove to Tradewinds Park, where you drive around to see several light sculptures. That same evening, we were surprised to see a lot of fireworks from the surrounding neighborhoods of our campsite.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">During the month of January, we changed the 6 windows of the Florida Room to make the room more secure. Danielle did a lot of sewing and crafts. She also helps with the decoration of the community hall. She organized the English lessons that were to begin in January, but because of the Covid, these were cancelled.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">There have been a few cases of Covid in the park which has slowed down indoor activities like dinners, bingo and dances. Now they ask us for our proof of vaccination for these activities, and for us who received our third vaccination, this is not a problem. In the stores, 80% of people wear masks and 100% of employees wear them.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">We do many outdoor activities like listening to music at the pool, going for a walk, and going swimming in the pool. We also organize the photo-rally. This is an activity where people have to identify the lots where the 9 objects in the pictures are. There is a new rally every week. Ronald is still the photographer for park activities.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">We also went to the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, which has a boardwalk, where we could see several species of birds, alligators, iguanas, turtles and even a python snake in a tree. In December, the temperature was warmer than in January, because the evenings are cooler now.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">We really like our little house that we are adapting to our tastes with new curtains, photos and some decorations. We spend many of our evenings sitting on our porch with our friends.</span></div></div><p class="MsoNormal">

plusieurs nouveaux amis avec nos voisins. Notre place est belle et propre.
Depuis notre arrivée, nous avons fait quelques petits ajustements et rénovations.
Ronald a aménagé une salle de couture dans la Florida room, changé quelques
luminaires et pris plusieurs photos pour le photo-rallye. (plus de détails à
venir la prochaine fois). Danielle va à l’aqua-forme le matin. Elle organise
aussi des leçons de conversation anglaise pour une soixantaine de résidents du
parc. Nous sommes aussi allés aux déjeuners rencontre le samedi matin, à un
party de Bienvenue, un souper de pizza et hamburger ainsi qu'écouter la musique
organisée à la piscine dans le parc. Nous apprécions la belle température de la
Floride.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p></div>
