12/12/14 - On Tuesday 12/9, I had to go back to the dentist.  I had another fracture on the upper denture and it needed repair.  We then did laundry and just stayed around the cabin since I had NO teeth until 3:30pm.  I also got the bad news that the RV had a fuel pump/fuel injector problem and it would need to be replace for a LOT of money but still thought that we would be able to get it back on Friday since the pump was in the area.

On 12/10, We went to a place called the Red Barn which is a flea market and large produce farm market.  It was really interesting and we found a lot of fresh vegetables and in the evening we drove to Sarasota for Chinese dinner with some of my relatives that were still here from Ohio but will be leaving this week end. There was eleven of us.  As we were driving around the parking lot looking for the restaurant, we were spotted by a first cousin on the paternal side of the family who did not even know we were here!!.  She followed us through the parking lot and then we found the restaurant and she parked next to us.  We were so surprised because we did not know she was invited to the dinner party.  We soon learned that she was shopping at the grocery store and just by total accident saw us drive around the parking lot.  We talked a short time in the parking lot and made some plans for next week.

12/11 - We drove back to Sarasota and toured the Ringling Museum.  It was very interesting.  There was a circus museum, a building that had a miniture total circus set up with all the "behind the scenes", animals,  workers and the big tent for the show.  There was a mansion on the property which was their summer home and a huge art museum.  We spent all day there.

12/12 - We did not make any plans because we were hoping for word from Tampa regarding the RV.  When I did not get any word, I called to learn that they had everything repair but when they took her out for a spin, she died and had to be towed back to the shop.  I learned that Monday will probably be the earliest.  I just hope that everything will be repaired.  We did run errands then since we knew that we would not be going to Tampa
