Sun, Lights, Laundry, and King Crab

Wednesday - Saturday December 26-29, 2012

The last few days I have had a cold, really sucks!  Seems it is finally going away now.  We really haven’t done much except just relax.  We did get laundry done on Wednesday which was the first since we left the north.  Thursday we went out and got wine and found King Crab Legs on sale for $16 a pound!  We bought 2 pounds of the legs and ate them on Friday night.  Friday we went to Wal-Mart to try and get after season Christmas lights with no luck.  We did however get three 16 foot blue rope lights.  We put them up on Friday afternoon with a timer so they come on and go off automatically.  They look really warm and inviting at night.

Our Chinese rose is doing real well.  At last count it had 12 blooms on it with 4 in full color now.  Up north we have only had maybe 2 full blooms a year.

This  frog appeared on a window near the hot tub Saturday night.  First time we have seen on of these in the wild.

Next event is the New Year’s Eve Party here at the RV park.

I have been thinking that I would figure out just what we have done since full time RVing for the end of the year.  Just finished that and I am thinking that I will do a summary of our year in 2013 as we have done a lot!
