Sorry

Sorry for the slow postings this past couple of weeks. I am sick, coughing, choking, headachey, fever, sinus, ache all over, drooling in my sleep sick.
I did go to the doctor and they can't help me with more than the standard plenty of fluids, netty pott, rest, lots of Nyquil and use an inhaler kind of stuff no one wants to hear.
I'm gonna say it, 'we can put a man on the moon, why can't we cure ... blah, blah, blah, never mind.
I'll be back on it when I'm better. Hopefully soon.

On the Road in Dec

To round out our stay in Greenville, we attended church with our kids and we were treated to hearing our grandson Michael sing a solo. I was very pleased as he sang O Come Emanuel, this is also a favorite of mine.

We stayed around and celebrated Bill's 65th birthday with them and enjoyed pie and cake and ice cream. wonder why I need to lose weight?  Then we exchanged Christmas presents with them and on Friday morning we took off again. I tried to get some good pictures of the family, but this is the best I could get. Sometimes people aren't very cooperative.

Coby, the dog, was the only one to get a really good picture.


Heading south to Orlando, Altamonte Springs to be specific. Of course before we left the campground we tore off the antenna, which I guess everyone does, once.

We decided to make this an early night so we started looking for a park around 3 pm. and finally settled on Country Oaks Campground & RV Park. Located in Kingsland, GA right off the last Georgia exit on I 95.
Now this is the nicest little park, they have a small pond, and a horse corral, the sites are mostly all pull through. We arrived at an early time, just before dusk and were able to get all set up, and have our dinner before it got dark outside.

The live oaks with their long strands of hanging moss gave such a sense of serenity and southern charm. We really loved this place, and are eager to go back for a longer stay next time.

                            





Farkel party

A few weeks ago Dawn and I invited some of our friends over to my house for a Farkel Pajama party.
We played farkel and had some snacks and just enjoyed the evening. I want to do this again, these girls are so much fun.

We each got a Farkel name, they are very silly names and we were being very silly.


This is Allene (Flossy Farkel) and Dawn (Fiona Farkel)



This is me, ( Flora Farkel) and Kathy P. (Frieda Farkel)

 We had a lot of fun.

Ah ha the lost photo

My dear daughter after reading that I did not have a good picture of our grandson sent me this one. Count on the mama to get the shot.
Thank you, Sharon. 

Dec 3,

On Saturday morning, our daughter had a small tea for the ladies of her church as they were decorating the sanctuary for Christmas. It was quite nice and interesting to meet these women. It was just nice to spend time with this daughter, whom we don't get to see nearly enough.

Then late in the afternoon it was time to go downtown and get all situated for the big Greenville Christmas parade. I love a parade and this was a big one. We staked out our spot, which I thought seemed a little premature since it was so early. But we got all situated, and it was a little chilly....

Ok, it was actually pretty cold. Bill wanted hot chocolate or coffee, but there was none to be found close by, so Sharon and I walked down the block a ways and there was a place where they were handing it out, for FREE.  I really thought that was nice. Turns out it was so premature to set up when we did. This place was packed and I was sure they would make us move, since people were out in the street, but we were ok and we had a really great spot.



Here comes the Academy float



It turned out to be a really nice parade, but it seemed like a long time that we waited for the school's float. It was exciting to see our oldest grandson walking along in the parade, singing about the true reason for Christmas with some other young folks. I wasn't able to get a very good picture of Michael, but I enjoyed seeing him.

 

 

Right to left: Sharon, proud momma, Dan, and Nathanael with the ball cap on. It's a Steeler's cap. oh yeah.

Now that we're all frozen and hungry, we'll go get Michael and find some food in a warm place.
