Monday in WG

Monday means laundry, which goes in no matter where we are. It rained last night and cooled down the temps, bringing back the long pants today, poor us.

Dinner plans got changes last night to nephew Scott and Holly's house. It was great seeing them and their two cutie pies, but did I even think about a photo? Shame on me. Tonight a good friend of Carolyn is cooking dinner for the four of us. Wine is on our shopping list today.

The CG only has wifi up at the office. This is definitely a no frills park, but there is always a spot available during the busy winter season. We adjust, wherever we are. That is part of traveling, especially camping. And the kitties don't care! Missy is in my chair; KC is under it.




Life is good here. How is yours?

Sunny Sunday




We don't know where the predicted rain is, but we are not complaining!

Good sunny morning from Winter Garden. We met Dick's sister Carolyn, hubby Don, and several of their friends for breakfast after church this morning. I have Cuban Pork to take over to their house for dinner and a visit later.

It is about 70; we have windows open, the front door open, and two kitties on the steps looking out through the screen door...wishing they could go outside! MM changed from jeans to shorts and a tee shirt. Yeah baby. Sw-eeet!

We will be here until Wednesday morning, so laundry is now going on.

That's life in the Sunshine State, with a little football thrown in.

Who is playing??? Or watching?

Happy Sunday, y'all!

Heading further south

And saying so long to sweet friends, Wade and Ginger:



Wade grilled redfish with New Orleans rub on it last night. Delish! We taught them the marbles (Aggravation) game last night, and they both played well.

Earlier, we drove over to St. George Island and Apalachicola, stopping and looking through a local "junk" shop before enjoying a seafood lunch. My oyster stew was excellent, loaded with tasty garlic. And butter. Yum. Did I mention that?

So today we were hoping to stop and see friend Rosi as we head further south...no answer, so we will figure out something else. That's just the way we roll. Regroup and go. At least the sun is out...but so is the wind, so it is chilly here on the panhandle, but warmer than Mayberry!

Life is good, filled with miles and smiles...and friends!

Sunrise over the Gulf




Good morning, sunshine! Come on out...you've been a stranger.

So yesterday with the continued rain, we changed plans and arrived at Carrabelle a day early to visit with Wade and Ginger. The site they reserved for us was available, so why not? Flexible. We are. Ginger was on duty here at the cg, but we had a good visit in between a few interruptions.

MM was ready for a nap, so nap he did ahead of a nice local seafood dinner.

Ginger is off duty today, so the four of us will head out and putz around the coastline. Wade and Ginger have worked here at this cg for years during the summer, and lived at the same park as we do in W Palm the rest of the year. They are now full time here in Carrabelle, where Wade spends his time fishing while Ginger works the front office. He always wanted to be a kept man!

I am sure we will find plenty to do...or not do...today. At least the forecast is sun today and high 50s. Rain tomorrow as we roll. Again. We are getting used to that!

Come along with us as we explore!

Life is good, y'all!

Rainin and rollin

MM is not very experienced with using my phone for photos, and this is the only one he took (camera ones will be better I am sure but they are no use to me right now). L to R: Nan, cousins Pat and Will, then me:



Will owns and operates White Oak Pastures in little ole Bluffton, worth googling! We enjoyed a delicious lunch there at their Pasture to Plate pavilion where for a modest fee his employees and public can feast on down home good food grown on their organic farm. Friend them on Facebook! Daughter Jenni is his chief assistant, but we didn't get to see her.

Had a really great visit, and even toured Will's old home, remodeled for Jenni. Photos later. I have many memories of visiting there.

So we drove to Albany, stayed and shopped at Sam's Club. Nan joined us for an easy dinner at the Moho, not that we were hungry!

We woke up to rain, but that doesn't stop us. We are heading to Sopchoppy for the night. Barb, if you hadn't just gotten home from your trip, we would be stopping by for lunch! We'll wave. Welcome home.

Have a fabulous Thursday. Miles and smiles for us!

Rolling south!




After enjoying our annual BSP hoppin john dinner with sista a and spouses, MM and I hit the road and drive down to Columbus, spending the night at the visitors center. Doesn't everyone sleep there?! It was a quiet night.

Our next destination is lunch with sister Nan and cousins in Bluffton. More on that tomorrow.

KC isn't very happy the first hour if travel, bless his heart. And MM left in the parking light by accident last night, so it took a bit of time to jockey the battery juice around to get the Moho cranked. The engine battery run down keeps the generator from working, so he learned. Oh the fun!

All is well. And KC is settling down. Miles and smiles, y'all!

Happy New Year, y’all!

 

Happy New Year

May  peace break into your home and may thieves come  to steal your debts.
May  the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for  $100 bills.
May  love stick to your face like Vaseline and may  laughter assault your lips!

May  happiness slap you across the face and may your  tears be those of joy.
May  the problems you had, forget your home address! 

In  simple words .............


May 2013 be a year of good health and much happiness!!!

Dick and Sandy
