After such a busy day Tuesday, we just hung out Wednesday
and if we moved, it was slowly! I should be more specific, I’m the only one
moving slowly as Barb is a busy bee working on a couple of Christmas sewing
projects. But you guys knew this didn’t you! The last couple of nights have
been below freezing so I had to put the water line away until morning. I
haven’t insulated or placed a heater wire on it yet – and may not, we only have
11 days left before we head south!
Sunday we decided to take our grandsons to the movies. We
have reached that fork in the road; our 14 year old grandson has plans with his
friends and can not come out to play with us! So with tickets purchased, we
load Nate and his mom, Corrie for a great afternoon in front of Puss in Boots! We
did the 3D experience and it was a fun flick!
Our family Christmas is quickly approaching for us and we
have seriously started our shopping. Not a fun event for Barb because I am
shopping challenged! I’m not one to browse and look for the perfect item. You
can see her frustration with me! Anyway, it was successful none the less and we
(meaning Barb) had it all wrapped before hitting the sack – no not me, bed!
The next couple of days were spent Christmas shopping and
being busy. Not sure where the time goes but wow, so close to our departure
now. We have heard from some of our friends at The Plantation and the
activities are quickly spinning up to speed. It makes us even more excited to
get down to our site and be part of the community. Of course, we had our
doctor’s appointments and are marking time, awaiting results! That keeps you on
pins and needles wondering if we need more drugs to keep us ‘normal’!
In mid week, we tripped down to our good friends for a
day/night Mexican Train fix! Diane had a cold and was so kind to share it! It
is that time of the year isn’t it? We had a great time, catching up on each
others news and of course, playing Mexican Train until the wee hours. Other
friends – Ray & Donna stopped by to play too and with a few beverages and
some good laughs, we had a very enjoyable couple of days. Soon after, we met
another pair of ‘old RVing’ buds for lunch, Kay & John. We met them during
our first year of full timing in 2001. We have kept in touch with them since,
meeting at various places here or on the road. It’s a great life style and be
able to stay in touch.
We hope you are able to do the same, where ever you are…..
