Cool Day

With the day so cool I didn't get out but very little yesterday.   Of course I had to take out the garbage to the dumpster and also took out luggage back to the motorhome and in the bay.  We don't use our luggage very often,as we don't travel very much with out the motorhome.  The trip up to Valdosta with the motorhome would not have been very smart.  The car took 8 gallons of gas and the motorhome would have taken 30 gallons,so the cost would have been very much there and back.
The temp did get up to 65°. 
I just sat around on the computer and last night watched a basketball game.

Back Home

We are back to our house after an enjoyable Christmas week-end.  We had a very nice visit and a very nice time with Sherry and the family.  Like always when there is food around we over do it with our eating.  It wasn't a surprise that we ate as much as we did.  At least I didn't gain any weight.  The trip down yesterday was on crowded I-75 but the traffic was moving along at a fast pace so there wasn't any traffic jams.  I drove a little faster than I normally do,but I wanted to keep up with the rest of the crowd. There were a few state police out and I guess they got their quota for the day.  The ones they caught must have really been going fast. Even though we got over the speed limit by a few miles we didn't pass too many cars up.
The temp got down to 40 degrees last night and is only going up to 60 today.

Great Christmas

Things went as planed yesterday.  Since we hadn't planed anything thats just the way it went.  Doing the things that we and so many others do through the holidays,we over ate,set around watching the television and playing games.

Oh my body

Yesterday we did,I suppose as most everyone else that we just ate and lazyed around most of the day.  But last night was a different thing.  The younger ones wanted Nancy and I to play the Wii games.  Oh my,they had this pad of a thing that you stand on and do all kinds of stuff-skiing,going through obstacle courses.  Then we bowled,golfed,played basball and a few more games.  Oh my we are not as young as we once were by a long shot.  It was fun though for us and for the rest of them.
I do believe today will be sitting around for quite a bit and watching some basketball games.
We did have a very nice Christmas day.  

Merry Christmas

Our grandson and his two small ones.

We had a very nice trip up yesterday.  The sun was shining bright for half the trip then the second half it was cloudy. We didn't have any rain during our trip so that made it nice.

Watching Hannah and Andy opening their presents was fun for the grown-up.  The little ones enjoyed all their presents and had so many they didn't know which ones to play it. We had our finger foods last night and today will have a nice turkey and ham dinner with all the sides.

May your day be a day of joy and good wishes.

Yesterday was a day that was slow from the start. The park was doing water line repairs and the water was off  for 6 hours. From 8:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Wednesdays are the specials for this Little Caesar's. Not the usual $5.00 but a special of $4.44 and a good large pepperoni pizza it is.

With the top down driving around on a December day you must be in Florida.

Today we will be going up to our daughter in Valdosta to visit with her and the family.

Heavy Traffic

Yesterday we went out to get some small stuff for the kids.  I ran through the car wash to give the car a much needed outside cleaning.

We then drove down rt 19 which had a lot of traffic,more then usual.  I saw red lights and blue lights flashing so I knew something had happened. I turned on my camera,which I always carry.

When we got closer I could see an suv had turned over on its side.

As we passed by I could see it had just happened and a fireman was going inside through the windshield to check on someone.  The emts where there ready with the guerney. I never can understand how a vehicle turns over on lever ground.  Maybe going to fast or making a sudden turn and turning over.

By that time it was time for our early dinner so today we had dinner at the Cracker Barrel. Well we actually had breakfast for dinner.  I know some doesn't like Cracker Barrel,but we are not one of those people.

Shopping

We did a little Christmas shopping yesterday.  We are going up to Valdosta to see our daughter. Two of our great grandchildren will be there so they will have to have some presents.  We had an early dinner at the Royal Buffet.  We try to get to the restaurants before 3:30 to catch the early bird Senior Specials.
Then I watch the Kentucky-Drexel basketball game. It was Kentuckys 2000th win so they had a big celebration. 

Cool

It got cool again last night and stayed that way most of the day.

Looking at the lake here in the park with the sun shining it doesn't look as cool as it really is.

The lights are all up on first street. It doesn't seem as many people are putting up lights this year. Some of the people though have a lot of lights and decorations up.  I guess they are trying to win first prize in the best of decorating.

Ballgames

Yesterday was my basketball game day.  On saturdays that is an all day thing for me. Of course I did get time to check the email and browse the internet a little.
It is turning cool for this part of the state it got down to 50° last night and tonight is suppose to be even cooler.  The temp is only getting up to 56° today.  We will no doubt spend the day inside.  We have gotten spoiled since we started fulltiming and not spending the winter time in cold temps.  After 10 years of this the least bit of cool weather we get cold.

Big Rain

Today is suppose to be a lot of rain all day long. Severe weather is in the forcast. So needless to say we will be inside all day unless it clears up to where we can get out.
Yesterday moorning I saw an ad in the paper where Office Depot had a 19" LCD tv for $99.99 on sale so when we got ready we went there first thing. I go in the store and ask the clerk about the tv and she says that they already sold out,they went fast. I says it figures. Nancy was wanting to go to the mall to look in the stores. We stayed for a couple of hours and walked out without buying anything. Doesn't look like we are very good shoppers because 9 times out of 10 when we go shopping we end up not buying anything.
We got home ate dinner and I thought I would go online and see if I could maybe order the tv from Office Depot and get it. Then I thought "check with other Office Depot Store". There is another on 13 miles down the road in Tarpon Springs,I called and what do you know they had plenty of them.
So there and back in a little over an hour and the tv was set up
