So, the new camera arrived on Tuesday - yippee. We'd been debating buying this for months and finally I just got tired of the quality of the old old camera and really tired of chasing down the best price on the new one and said screw it just order the darn thing! Isn't it lovely!! Very exciting too isn't it!
We finally decided to get our Christmas tree out last Monday or Tuesday. Above, is how we bring home the tree, "full timer style" and "Florida style".
We had planned on leaving Brandon so many times, then extending so we never really got around to it but when we decided to extend yet again, it seemed we might as well do the tree thing. Christmases are so different now - what with no kids around and we don't "do" Christmas anymore between us, so what the heck. In fact it was here in Brandon (Goodwill, thank you very much) that we bought our funny little tree last year) and we have a couple "special" ornaments that people have given us along the way and two special ones from the stick house days. Plus, this beauty came "pre lit" and "pre decorated" - scary indeed!
We did the Yuengling tour the other day at their Tampa plant. Not too exciting - especially since there were only a few people working that day.
Yesterday we traveled up to Summerfield (85 miles or so north) to our friends Dana and Wendy. In the photo above Wendy is trying to explain to Arlo how "yummy" his food is and trying to convince him that she did indeed add some of Patches (their King Charles Cavalier) food to Arlo's food - I think he believed her too, because after this demonstration he did finally consent to eat his food, so I'm certain he believed her. We had a great afternoon - it was good to see our old friends (Rick and Dana go back many many years - to the Weymouth days!), and hear about their latest cruise - crazy people - they go on five or six cruises a year! Wendy and Dana also full timed in their motorhome for a couple years several years ago, but now own a gorgeously outstanding "stick" home on a huge plot of land that Arlo loves to run around and act like a nut on. Arlo is even very gentle with Patches, although Patches has little interest in Arlo (there is quite a size difference there - like about 80 pounds!)
Today will be spent getting things in travel mode in the coach since we truly are leaving Brandon in the morning headed to Clewiston for two nights then down to the Keys for the month of January. The coach is a total disaster area as a great deal of my time is consumed with a sewing project theses days and the floor is pretty much always covered with thread and fabric scraps - this project has me in panic mode as it has a serious time frame and I am way behind! When I had the latest diverticulosis bout a couple weeks ago for four days Rick told me he missed his "play pal" and wanted her back, he has been very good about his lack of "play pal" with this project for sure! His play pal will be back in a couple weeks I hope!
That's it for now - catch y'all from Clewiston, or more likely, from the Keys.
