Uncle Pete & Aunt Molly's Grave Marker

 

Restlawn Memorial Gardens in Port Charlotte, Florida

Originally, we had planned to only drive to Port Charlotte, Florida, as Bev wanted to go to one of the local cemeteries and find the graves of Peter & Molly Siverdis (Aunt Molly & Uncle Pete).  Aunt Molly & Uncle Pete were people that had lived in Cleveland, Ohio and visited the Swedmark Lodge, Bev’s families resort every summer.   They did not have children of their own, so “adopted” all other children.  They would bring Bev & her brother Al a big bag of goodies every summer when they came, as well as sending us a gift at Christmas.  As kids, you can imagine how excited we were to see them.   Later they moved to Florida, and when they passed away, there was nobody to let us know of their death.  With Bev’s interest in Genealogy, she tracked down the cemetery where they were buried.  We found the Cemetery without much difficultly, and were even able to park in front of the office.  The staff there was very helpful and took us right to their gravestones.  We were able to clean up the stone and Bev had brought flowers to put on the plot.  Bev had wanted to do that for more than 30 years. 

We decided that since that was accomplished; we might as well drive the rest of the way to our next night’s stop, which was at the Lazydays RV Resort – attached to Lazydays RV Sales in Seffner, near Tampa, Florida.  We were hoping that we might get a couple of things looked at on the RV since they have 300 service bays.

When we checked in, we asked about service, and were told that we would have to take the trolley over to the Sales Lot and check with the Service Department.  So, once we got set up, we did just that – took the trolley.  The driver, Kathleen, was delightful.  Once we got to the Sales Office, they directed us down the hall to the Service Office.  There they had two ladies sitting there, that didn’t know anything, and told us to use the phone on the other wall, to call to check the schedule.  Of course, there was no answer.  Stan left a message.  We decided to go back to the RV Park and wait for the call.  We checked out the Exit 10 Pub at the park.  We each had a Margareta.  The phone rang, but nobody was there, so Stan called back and finally got to talk to someone only to find that there is no room left in the 300 bays to even do an oil change.  It’s too bad that the “Service” is missing in the Service Department.  We understand that they are very busy, but the communication is lacking.

Lazydays Trolley

We decided to have a rather quiet day today.  We took the trolley over for breakfast at the Lazydays RV Sales Office.  They have a restaurant and offer a free breakfast and free lunch during your stay.  We had our breakfast, but won’t be hungry enough for lunch before 1:30 p.m., so we decided to pass.

We walked through a few motorhomes, but since we have only had this one since March, we were not in the market for anything more.  We did a little driving around, so we know where to go to leave here tomorrow, then back to the motorhome for R & R.

Bev’s brother, Al had surgery last evening for the Staph infection that was not reacting to antibiotics.  Bev called Al this morning.  He said he is feeling much better, so is disappointed that he has to spend a couple more days in the hospital.  They want to keep an eye on the infection.  He thinks he might get out on Monday. 

In the evening, we got a text from Al.  He got out of the hospital.  I know he is pleased about that.
