To Shirley, We have Brighthouse and I pay $118.00 a month for cable, internet and the phone. I don't think that's unreasonable. Our phone is also long distance at no additional charges. Ask to bundle them together.

Save A Lot is in the Sun City Center Plaza on College or 674, next to Dollar Tree and Dollar General. The Post Office is in the same plaza also. I was impressed with Save A Lot because they keep everything clean and well organized for all the seniors in Sun City Center. Check it out!

What's the best internet, cable and phone service to subscribe to? Is it better (service and cost wise to "bundle" all three?) What's the average monthly cost? This site is so helpful, I find myself checking it every day.
PS where is Save A Lot?
Happy Columbus Day! It's our Thanksgiving and the weather has been beautiful for a change.

 Adli's would be great. I shopped there last week when I went to my RA doctor. Good savings. Thanks for the info Janice. Also just a note to say Happy Columbus Day, that means the Federal offices are closed. NO mail and if you are going to the bank call first they too may be closed. Have a nice day.

While shopping at Save A lot last week, the cashier told me that an Aldi's is coming to Ruskin. We talked about where they might put it and it would make sense to put it in the old Bells store next to Big Lots. I hoping this is true and may very well be because Aldi's has just made it to Florida and they're sprouting up all over St. Pete and Tampa.

 Hi, I talk to Nadine Baumert, They are doing better. Busy all the time kids, grand kids, and great grands in and out all the time. Harold and Diane stopped by and said that They both look great. Nadine said to say hi to all. Her kids are planning an 80th birthday party for her in Nov. I thinks we should shower her with love from the Chula family. Please send her a card before Nov 15th her Birthday. Also. Lets not forget other Chula Family who have moved out and on. Reach out and touch someone.

Hi Y'all,
Fred got moved out of CCU about 5:00 AM this morning into his own private room. They have been trying for 3 days to move him but had to wait for a bed to empty. He isn't all that much better but can use oxygen all day and use the Bi Pap only at night. He is getting nutrition through a food tube. They're not letting him have anything to drink. I hope that changes soon. They're giving him medication for the Atrial Fibrillation. I hope it works. He is getting so tired of being in the hospital. Me too. I am staying at David's(son) for now. Instant access to the computer and a firmer bed. Air mattress on computer room floor. A little hard getting up from but otherwise, pretty good. Plus I get visited by Rasputin, Dave's cat and Ginger, Alexis' Puggle. (Pug and Beagle mix) Kind of different to open your eyes and see green eyes staring into yours. (cat)
Fred is in room 827 B. Don't have a phone number yet. I'll get that when I go to visit. He is on Lena's floor but I don't know if he is in her end. I guess I'll know more when I get there.
I am fine,but like Fred, tired of not being home and the daily trip to the hospital. Thankfully, I haven't had to drive the distance from home every day. This is all I know for now. More to come as it happens.
Love,
Pat Z

Thanks to everyone for the weather info and the packing suggestions...I'm really looking forward to Nov.1...It was fun to look at the great pictures of the decorated homes, if you do all this for Halloween, then Christmas decorating must be amazing!

LOVE THE PICTURES OF THE DECORATED HOMES. You guys are terriffic. I try to pack fairly light with a variety of clothing that can be used in a number of combinations. As Renee said, there is a Big Lots coming. I really don't remember any days that were freezing cold. We have been coming down from late November through to the end of March and the weather is usually very tolerable whether hot or cold. Hope some of this will help you out.
See everyone the end of November. Can't wait to see all of your smiling faces.

Thanks to all of you for writing. first Denise, the HOA meeting is Oct. 22 Wed. night @ 7:PM @ the clubhouse. The HOA board is the go between residents and the park owners. Carol and Shirley, Most of the time it is in the mid 60's and low 70's, but we do have some cold days also. I have never seen it freeze here, frost some times I may have on a winter coat because my blood is thinned out, but the snow birds, run around in shorts and a wind breaker. I would load up on the bathing suits, short, Capri, a few long pants and maybe a jogging outfit, also a light to medium weight jacket or a hooded sweatshirt for the windy day at the beach. Hope this helps you out. Don't forget we have a Big Lots opening soon so, you can ALWAYS go shoppin!

I'm glad the question was asked about Nov. weather and I hope someone will also advise about Dec. Jan. as well. I'm trying to pack for six months and it's hard, as I've only been to Florida in March and April. I had no idea packing would be so difficult, and it's not just clothes, it's all the other "stuff" as well! If you have any advice on how to pack a small car with all the necessities I would love to hear it, as right now I think I need a bus!! lol

 Steve & I are coming down for the month of November, then back to Indiana until April, when we'll move permanently. What can we expect in terms of weather for November?

Hi Renee. . . This is an awesome website. . . I just wanted to say what a great bunch of girls go to the water aerobics. I love the excersize and the "gab". The pool is warm now and I feel so much better since getting out there ! Hey, does anyone know what the home owners meeting is like? This will be our first.
