How does that song go? "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" This holiday season is proving to be no exception. While we are not able to be with our loved ones this year, we are truly enjoying the friendships of our RV family.
On Tuesday and Wednesday this week it was finishing up the shopping (well - starting it for one of us. And I won't mention any names....Rich!). On Wednesday evenings we met up with Bruce and Gena for pot luck at the Meet'n House and then wished them Happy Holidays as they headed off to be with family. Later that night, I went back to call Card Bingo. I had forgotten to bring my camera - so was not able to capture Santa in his flannel shorts with HO HO HO scribed on the back side - or the TT Staff singing Christmas Carols to all of us and handing out Candy Canes from Santa's sack.
On Thursday it was back to the pickleball courts for Rich, and I joined up with the line dancers. At 1:00, I was back on the courts teaching four more new people how to play pickleball. That brings our total to about 13 new players that we've introduced to the game in the past couple of months.
The Happy Hour Queen is back in the park.......so I'm sure it won't take you long to figure out where the group gathered on Thursday evening.
Jack and Dian's Red Neck Castle was decorated in Holiday Style - with festive foilage, snowmen and candy cane lights. We were one of the first to arrive - as I had promised to bring her the nutmeg to top of the traditional EggNog Punch - perfectly made with a hint of fine liquors. The table was soon overflowing with an array of fine foods and the dessert for the evening was a delicious chocolate mint cake.

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteI am surprised to see players in Florida wearing jackets and reading your post on Dec 17- When we awoke on Monday morning it was in the 30's with winds blustering from 18-20 mpr, making it "feel like" about 27 degrees!!!! Wow, I am still amazed at Florida can get that cold, 27 degrees is below freezing. I really enjoy reading your postings and your fantastic photos !!!
Wishing you and Rich a happy Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!
