Some things I'm grateful for:

The weather has cooled off here some.  Over the weekend, it got pretty chilly.  It's starting to warm back up since Sunday.  Yesterday, we walked four miles wearing shorts and t-shirts.  It didn't take us as long as it has been.  I guess we're getting faster.  Sunday, Lanny and Michelle hosted a huge oyster dinner for the entire park.  It was AWESOME!  I could have eaten oysters until I exploded, they were so good.  Things have become somewhat routine here because we get up and have our coffee then hit the beach for a few hours walk.  Same old, same old.  So there's not much to report.  We will be staying here until December 4 before heading east and then south to Okeechobee.  So . . . . . . .

What I'm grateful for today:

- that my husband will clean our house while I'm doing laundry.  We can usually get done about the same time--then the rest of the day is ours. 

- hot vegetable soup on cool days.  We cooked a crockpot full of vegetable soup last night and had some for lunch today.  It was good. 

- how the people in this rv park are so friendly and how we have our meals together once in a while. 

- that this is a small park and we're not all trying to use the laundry room at the same time.

- that the beach is right across the street and that the street is never congested with traffic--even on the weekends.

- how friendly the people who live here full time are.  We visited the library Saturday and the Librarian and some of the people in the library were so helpful.

- how there are no chain restaurants here (except for a Subway).

- how many westerns there are on the tv channels we get here.  We both love westerns.

- that our families are okay with our decision to downsize our life and travel.

and of course, humor: 
"When the chairman introduced the guest speaker as a former illegal alien, I got up from my chair and yelled. "What's the matter, no jobs on mars?"  When no one laughed, I was real embarrassed.  I don't think people should make you feel that way." - Jack Handy.

"The tired and thirsty prospector threw himself down at the edge of the watering hole and started to drink.  But then he looked around and saw skulls and bones around everywhere.  "Uh-oh", he thought.  "This watering hole is reserved for skeletons." - Jack Handy

This Thursday is Thanksgiving.  We sincerely hope all our family and friends have a wonderful week.  We are thankful for all of you.
