Im sure you all have been wondering about thiswhether we were dead or alive! Obviously, we are the latter. I checked and the last blog I wrote was on December 19th. OMGNooooo. Nothing like taking a break from blogging. Call it what you may.procrastination, dithering, hawing, laziness, forgetfulnessbunch them altogether and it culminates into my one pathetic alibi. Im sure none of you blubbered your eyes out missing our blog..it gave you lots of time to refresh yourselves for another round of my And lots of it this time so prepare yourselves. Yawn, Moan, Groan.I can hear from you! Cut it out!
Lets begin. You have to get back in your old time machine again and set it for before Christmas. Got it? OK. Whoa..we are really going back in time, arent we? Push it back, push it backway back! (An old cheerleader call which I was not oneloud but not agile enough).
Our park sponsored a festive Christmas party for us They provided the main course and drinks. The rest of us brought a dish to pass. Turned out even more scrumptious and bountiful than the trough (Golden Corral). A fun time
A unique RV rig showed up in our park. It was called The Rusty Bus and was like Uncle Eddies RV from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. They did a video on it while it was parked here at Tropical Palms. It was a WRAP that they applied to the outside of the RV to make it look like that. Quite a conversation piece! And their sh__er wasnt even full! Or, if it was, they didnt announce it.
A large group of us gathered together on our brightly decorated golf carts and drove around the park as a Christmas parade. Some carts were decorated to the hilt. They were really awesome. We were like Charlie Browns Christmas Tree.on the sparse side. Two ladies dressed up as reindeer. They hitched themselves to the lead golf cart and walked the entire way throughout the park, guiding all the golf carts. Go Dancer - Go Prancer! They were unbelievable and amazing. I would have been a dead deer on the first lap down one row of RVs. We witnessed a true Miracle of Christmas by these Herculean ladies.
family gatherings so much..we miss them terribly being here in Florida away from our dear family. Our children continued our tradition by getting together for a post Christmas dinner at a nice restaurant. That made us so very happy even though we couldnt be there with them. Wanting to still be a part of this tradition, Cory called the restaurant and surprised them by picking up the tab. We couldnt believe the all extra drinks and many that they got!!! Just kidding but it would have been okay.kind of. We love our family! Weve included some pictures of all our grandchildren (9) and (2). We sure miss them all! Sniffle, Sniffle.
Ahhhhhh, life in our RV..such sweet quiet and relaxation.BANG!!! What the h_ll was that ??? Just a typical evening in our cozy, mobile abode. We had been running our motor and generator for awhile and then shut it down. We do this on a monthly basis to help move some of the diesel fluids around in it and keep it running best we can until the to put it back on the road. Cory thought it was a backfire sound. I wasnt that sure
and fretted. The next morning, Cory looked around for another possible cause of the Big Bang! He found it! One of our house batteries blew upexploded..BANG!!! Jeepers! Blew the cover of the battery right off! OMG! Never fear..our friends are here! Yep! Dave and Art swung right into action. They removed our old batteries. Art got his truck and the three of them took them to a battery place that Art frequents. Cory got four new batteries. They even gave him money for the other ones including the broken one! Art and Dave cleaned out our as well as the cables that attach to each battery. Carefully and methodically, Dave and Art replaced each end of each cable to its correct position. Voil. Turned on the power and everything worked! We were back in business. We are so appreciative for these fine friends.
