Weather - Sunny and mid 70's till last night, had a thunderstorm and big cool down to 61 and 43 at night, furnace ran thru the night! The weather is supposed to warm up by Thursday, we have a couple more runs we want to make on the motorcycle before we call it quits here :)
The RV park put on a big Thanksgiving dinner with 3 different types of turkey - roasted, deep fried and smoked. Everyone participated with potluck dishes and they had about 44 people. We sat with a couple from Jackson, Michigan and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Both retired and snowbirds, but not full timers. There are a couple of coaches here where the couples are full timers, one for 7 years and the other 6 years; and both are in their mid 70's. In the parks that we have stayed so far we are finding a sub-culture in the RV'ers who get this crazy notion to sell everything and live in their motorhomes!
The fellow that works around the campground has a nice garden planted for everyone to use, isn't that a great idea? Today I picked fresh leaf lettuce for our sandwiches, just like in the spring at home, then I called Nanny and told her about the garden, reminds me of her.
Next week we pack up and warehouse the motor home and fly back home for the Christmas holidays. I can't believe how fast the time flies by. We came to the Panhandle of Florida to ride our motorcycle since there was a great chapter on scenic roads here in our Reader's Digest : The Most Scenic Drives in America, love that book. Looks like we have pretty much covered their suggested trek so when we come back in January we will be ready to head out west. This is a very beautiful untouched part of Florida and the riding is laid back, lower speed roads and nice scenery.
The other day we took a peak at the nearby St. James Golf Course(not a player on any of the holes that we could see, I know they are all in the clubhouse ha ha) and it was absolutely gorgeous, with a planned community. This house looked lived in but most had for sale signs, seems the area has been hurt just like the rest of the U.S.
Well today I had a few things on my "to do" list and I am so glad I brought my sewing machine! Yes I did! I keep it under the bed, you would be surprised at everything under there. Look at that seems like it is right at home.
Doing a bit reading and planning for the places to stay on I10 heading into Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and then Arizona. The days we travel 400 to 500 miles are a bit of a heavy day and most people we talk to say they go 250 to 300 miles - leave late and stop early. They have a point - "what's your hurry?" At that rate we would should get to Arizona by the time we are planning to coming home in the Spring, ha ha.

| Beach is right across from our park so we get a morning walk in and there is never anyone there but us and the dolpins! |
