DECEMBER 2015

here  we are in florida and the weather has been just beautiful...arrived in Lakeland on dec 20th and set up the rig then we found our way to winter haven and took lisa out to dinner...good seeing her and she seems to be happy about the move..work is going well they both got good bonus's and gift cards...

spent Christmas day with them and YES we did go swimming and it felt good...I did have some pictures to prove it but guess what somehow I deleted them...oh well..

on dec 23rd we moved on to where we are going to be for the next three weeks in Zephyrhills...have toured around the area also have gone on a couple of bike rides doing 10-12each time...knees seem to be working a-ok..i do have a problem getting off the bike so lad has to come to the rescue but not a problem..i just need to work on that..

have volunteered at the RESTORE which is kinda like a salvation army store that sells stuff...furniture-clothes-house hold goods-books you get the picture...kinda dusty work but it is different and we are meeting some really great people..

the campground that we are staying in also has a pool and the best thing after working all day is to come back to the rig change into our swum suits and hit the pool..nice and refreshing and really makes a person feel so much better...

as you know tonight is new's years eve and don't want to be on the roads down here..they are bad enough during the day...the campground has a party with music starting at 8 and we plan on attending best thing is we can walk...all we have to do is bring a snack to share and BYOB...not a problem

so life is good where we are and god bless...sure hope 2016 will be filled with good things..

THANKSGIVING 2015

our thanksgiving this year was spent in watertown, ny serving dinner at the salvation army...our grand daughter shasta is the head cook at the salvation army and like last year we decided what better way to spend the holiday with family than to go where they...this year they did things a tad different last year they had lots and lots of volunteered so this year when they got a call about volunteering they assigned them a time in 2 hour block.  we happen to get 10--noon as we had told shasta that we needed to be on the road back to ithaca no later than 3 as we had company arriving on friday..

they served over 600 meals not all at the salvation  army but they also deliver meals around the county..of course they did not ask us to do that as we don't know our way around...

of course we had no left overs and why does  anyone cook a turkey why it is for the left overs like turkey sandwiches...i had a turkeythe freezer so we decided to cook it in the garbage can cause we hadn't done that in several years and it was kinda a nice day---no snow---so we did and it turned out just fine...

so now we are still eating sandwiches and other favorite ways to fix the left overs..

hope everyone reading this had a wonderful thanksgiving..
