Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We're looking forward to the party tonight then taking down decorations during the football games on Saturday. I'm quoting Rachel here: Show me a day when the world wasn't new. Good thought, kid. Best wishes to everyone in 2011!

Officially tired of cold weather. Tallahassee record low of 19; Rachel saw frost; snow flurries in Tallahassee on Christmas. Nokomis record low of 32; it has warmed up but we have another cold night before it warms up to the 70's daytime and 50's at night. Positive thinking - it will be a warm winter! Looking forward to a wonderful New Year!

Christmas calls to our daughter and moms today. Busy day with breakfast at the clubhouse sponsored by one of our very active residents. Regina spent a few hours working on the resident directory update while Paul prepared the sweet potato casserole, our contribution to the Christmas Dinner; we enjoyed the company of Maine and South Dakota friends - and filled our plates with more food than we needed. After a site check around the park, we are relaxing and enjoying a warm evening before the cool wind brings cooler temperatures.
We would like to wish each and everyone of you a Merry and Joyous Christmas. This is the season, as long as we remember the reason for the season. I think all of us have much to be thankful for, especially ourselves in the warmer climates.
For those of you in the recent snow belt, it too shall pass. In the meantime, enjoy the scenery.

Merry Christmas to All!

BRR. It's cold. Woke up to 42 outside and 56 inside; forecast high today of 58 and low 35; not good; warm-up by Friday. Yes! Everyone is decorating for Christmas; looking beautiful out there; thanks to the volunteers at RCR.
