Ivan has been catching up on computer stuff and movies today, while I did a 4 mile walk along the lake before doing some shopping (mostly window). I walked through the two block downtown which is quaint and very charming. In a small family owned place in the heart of Clear Lake, I splurged on a ½ gallon of homemade sugar free ice cream and two big Iowa pork chops to cook on the grill tonight. We sat outside and had a fun “final” conversation with our neighbor, Trevada. She and Eric will leave in the morning to their next stop, Minnesota, then gradually working their way back to Florida for the winter.
