Wheres the snow? Our family in the North can respond to that....they have it! Our daughter, Kim got stuck in it with 40 of snow in Binghamton, NY. This is our first Christmas in Florida and away from our family. Sniffle, Sniff! We are going to miss them so many times over than missing any snow. Because of my physical therapy, it was not in the cards for us to return home. Christmas Day will be so different for us. No family, no snow, no cooking (goody). The highlight of this celebratory day will be dining out at the Golden Corral (aka: the Trough) Its the only restaurant open and Im taking full advantage of not cooking. A Christmas present I will enjoy.
it? Sounds soooo bad! No figgy pudding for us at the Trough (Golden Corral). No way. Take your figgy pudding elsewhere.
Before Christmas, we had Thanksgiving...member that holiday? We did our stay at home request, social distancing, and small gathering. How did we do that you ask? Simple: we put up our folding table under our canopy, bought a prepared Thanksgiving dinner from Perkins, and shared our grateful celebration with our good friends, Sam & Sandy. Lulu took her position at the head of the table. Of course! Where else would you think she would be? We are so thankful for Sandy & Sam as well as all our other good friends, far and near.
While we were on an eating kick, the four of us made the rounds to some of our favorite eateries. We ate at The Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs. Guess what I had? Yup.....my favorite: the tuna melt. Boy, it was just as delicious as I remembered. So yummy! Only thing missing was the free piece of chocolate candy from the Ghirardellis store. Darn Covid! Suck it up Buttercup! A minute on your lips, forever on your hips....remember that, Guenter!
day, we sped off to Bar Harbor, our favorite place for fresh seafood. Sandy and I ordered their special of the day: two large lobsters with drawn butter for $15.98. Yes....thats right! Two of them! Ooooh, to die for! It doesnt get much better than this. Cory & Sam got their fried shrimp dinner with is mighty tasty, too.......but oh, those lobsters.....Ay yi yi!
Our friends continue to gather under our canopy for morning coffee. Art was our first friend when we arrived in September. By now, you all should know who Art is. He is the Electrician Guru, the Man for everyones problems, the to us all. He is a humble man and sits in our canvas lawn chair.....he truly should be sitting on a Golden throne! Our neighbor, Grant & Theresa, bought a golf cart that didnt run. Can you guess who fixed it and got it running? Yup- Art! The back seat on our golf cart got wet and nasty. Cory bought more wood, foam and covering. Can you guess who put it together for us so we now have a new seat? Yup - Art! Everyone is so thankful for Art.
We had a visitor the other day. Cory & I jumped with fear when something sailed right up to our windshield. WOW.....Whaaaaaat was that! We quietly snuck outside the RV and saw a hawk perched on the roof of our RV. I snapped a couple photos. After going back inside, this inquisitive Hawk landed right outside our window and stayed there for awhile. It wasnt really like the movie The Birds, more like the attack of the Hawk, but still quite fascinating.
In our park, there is a section where many wonderful, colorful cottages line their little narrow streets. The cottages are called Sandcastles. It has the feel and look of being in Key West. These cottages are owned and/or rented. Not being sure what has brought on this recent activity, discouraging changes are happening in this section. Before we arrived in September, 11 cottages had been moved out and relocated to another RV park. Currently, the same process is in the works again. We have seen 6 cottages prepped and are ready to be removed. I think that major task might start
in the very near future (any day now). We will surely be there to watch. It is quite a job to do all this. Ill take pictures for you.
