November and December!

 Wow! It's been while since I posted!  After we left Barnardsville and Convoy of Hope we spent a wonderful evening with a couple who have become very sspecial to us from our Switch It Up Crew.  We made dinner together, ate and talked freely!  What a blessing they are.  The next day we drove to Dana's brother Dave's home where he was able to find us a parking spot at the church in his subdivision!  Again, we enjoyed his beautiful home and catching up!  We then drove to Myrtle Beach where we walked on the beach, enjoyed the jacuzzi and Dana worked each day to set up our new Bronco for towing!  While there we were able to connect with Dana's childhood friend Dan whom he hadn't seen in over 40 years!  WE had lunch with Dan and his parents and had a lovely visit in South Port, NC.

After 8 days, the longest we've ever stayed in one park!  Dana had the Bronco ready and we headed to Palmetto Florida! When we arrived at the Tides in Palmetto it was 85 degrees and humid!  Time to set up camp and go for a swim! Well we got to see our first Alligator!  They live in the lake in our resort


 On day 2 we were able to head up to our friends George and Laura and see thier new home and catch up!  They only live 45 min. north of us!  

We drove to Treasure Island to see the sand carving competition!  What talent!








The next week we were able to go south to Punta Gorda and visit Dana's Uncle Jerry and his new wife Martha and also saw caught up with Rick and Mellisa and their son Liam, CousinsTina and Billy and Tony and Besty!

Here is our view at our home for the next 3 months!



Since being at the Tides we have participated in swimming, yoga, Euchre, billiards,  ginger bread cookies decorating and kayaking!  We are signed up for a Christmas party and then will head to Kansas, Iowas, Illinois and Michigan for the Holidays!


January Fun!
