Is it really Christmas? It is currently 71 here at Sun-N-Fun in Sarasota FL and was up to 84 today. We watch the weather and are both glad and sad we are here. If we were in Portland OR with our son Mike and his wife we would be helping shovel snow. If we were in Vermont with our son James it looks like it would be just plain miserable. Rain on snow. In Virginia I don't think we would get in a motorcycle ride.
Yesterday we had called our friend Susie in Amissville and had a nice long phone visit. She told us about a deal they had found on a Nikon D60 Digital SLR. Since that is a camera we had seen advertised and looked at some months ago we decided to give ourselves a Christmas present. So off to the local Ritz Camera store. None in stock. I had even called before we went and was led to believe they had them in the store. Bummer. But we still needed a couple of items from JoAnn's Fabric.
Once back at the camper I went online to check the deal and order the camera. Boy I will not deal with Ritz online again. Well it will have to be a really good deal for me to return. The order confirmation process was a real nightmare. But the camera is on the way.
Today we played 2 rounds of what they call "Crazy Golf", really miniature golf. The wife beat me. Bummer.
We decided to spend the rest of the day at the pool so we had lunch and headed off. We stopped to talk to Steve and Sally from New York since they had kayaks on their car. We had a nice visit with them and may kayak with them after Christmas.
We met a couple from MD at the pool and talked with them a while. The area where that 66" water main broke is where he travels for work.
After the pool we came back and had some snacks, listened to Radio Margaritaville, napped and basically just chilled. After supper we watched "A Christmas Story" ... Ralphie you'll shoot your eye out.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
