Saturday in paradise

Where the living is easy:






The sun is shining, but we are having mini bursts of rain. Like we need more rain! Sheesh. We still are not dried out, but at least we didn't have any local flooding as some of the neighboring towns had. We are grateful.

Last night we enjoyed an Italian pot luck dinner at the rec hall. I made Caprese salad, and it was a big hit. We have lots of good cooks in the park.

And lots of no worries today. Love it. It's time for a bike ride and a little visiting.

Life is good, y'all! Make yours good, too.

Windy Thursday in paradise




This nifty table top heater was our great find at Sam's yesterday after our fine dining.

It was back in the clearance section, MM's fave place to shop, marked half off. It will travel well with us and will work great to take off an evening chill.

One of our park neighbors has a neat outdoor train display that the wee boys would enjoy seeing, if they were here...which they are not:



We have had a few days of sunshine, however that isn't happening currently. Hopefully tomorrow...we wanna dry out and enjoy the patio. We do well couped up inside our small space, but still...

No great plans today except to run out to the grocery store for a few items. MM ordered some tire pressure sensors that arrived yesterday, so he is installing them today. Excitement...we haz it.

Life is windy but good, y'all!

Fine dining




Nothing like a visit to Sam's Club in a rainy day...and fine dining.

My man is sooo good to me!

Stay warm, everyone!

Life is wet, but good.

Tuesday in paradise

 

oatmeal

Today is a cinnamon-apple oatmeal kind of day.  It has crawled up to a windy 54, so much better than 9 in Mayberry…with snow and ice.  Brrr.

Hello, sweet kids:

Faith, Brian, kids 1.14Haley, Amy 1.14Jason, Brian, Faith 1.14

MM and I missed dinner at Haley and Logan’s newly remodeled house the other night.  Next event, we need to Facetime!  I sure miss my kiddos.

These kids miss the warm temps of Key Largo:

Griswolds 1.14

And so do we!  We had all the windows yesterday; today the heat is on.  That is Florida in January, and we sure enjoy being here.  Well, except for missing family and friends back home.  There’s always a trade off for everything. 

So, MM has gone for a hair cut; I am taking care of mail and household chores.  My computer has cut off once again this morning…not good!  This behavior is not acceptable.  Quit that. 

Stay safe and warm, Peaches, wherever you are!  And smile.

Sunny Monday

It has rained for the past two days, so the sunshine is very welcome this morning.  MM is doing some odd jobs outside this morning, after breakfast out with the boys.  More on that another day.

Here are our kids last week enjoying fishing:

Hensons fishing

And catching!  Alex caught a nice snook, but it is out of season, so he had to throw it back:

Alex, snook 1.14

Will caught a very tasty redfish:

Will, redfish

They are back in Mayberry, freezing.  It is slated to go to –2 there tonight.  Yikes!  Will is already saying he wants to go some place where he can wear shorts.  Smart boy.  I will take our expected 45 tonight over any minus temps and/or snow, thankyouverymuch.

What I don’t want is for my computer to unexpectedly shut down ::again::!  What’s up with that???  I have Carbonite for off site back up, so I need to do a bit more local backing up today, just in case.  Urrrgghhh.

Have yourselves a ginger peachy Monday and stay WARM…and safe, y’all!

Thursday goodbye

So long, Key Largo. It was fun, but WPB is calling us.




Hopefully there won't be a lot of traffic northbound today. We don't have a deadline anyway.

Miles and smiles, listening to some happy traveling tunes.

Life is good, y'all! Happy Friday Eve.

Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year 2014

The park party was damp but the food was abundant and good yesterday.  It was fun chatting with all the folks there.  We love meeting new people.

We came back to the coach and read and watched the festivities on TV.  We managed to stay awake to watch the ball drop, kiss, say hello to the new year, and fall asleep.  Party animals…not.

The sun is actually breaking through the clouds this morning, a very welcome sight…75 and windy.  That is A-OK with us.  Nothing major on the calendar for today, other than to enjoy this fresh new day of the new year, and do a load or two of laundry.  Yep, life goes on as normal, no matter where we are.

Blessings to everyone for a fabulous, healthy, and Happy 2014!
