Happy Thanksgiving!



So, today is Thanksgiving down here or more appropriately Black Friday Eve! It is also the unofficial start of Christmas decorating. Once again Lorraine and Barry made sure our golf cart will be properly decked out with this cute little Santa- thanks guys!



We will be going to one of our favorite restaurants for a Thanksgiving feast with friends. Our friend Jane, however insisted on cooking a big turkey, even though she is Canadian and it's not really our holiday. She has invited a group of Canadians (we unfortunately had to decline) for what she is calling Friendsgiving!
When we went over yesterday for a quick visit she seemed to have everything well planned and organized - typical Jane - except for one thing. The minute she put her turkey in the oven, there was a loud boom outside and the power on her street went out. Apparently workmen hit something and caused the problem.  So here she is cooking her turkey at our place.
Maybe next year she'll believe me - the best thing to make for Thanksgiving is reservations!

Happy Friendsgiving Everyone!

Check out the new wheels!

Our good friend Irma (you remember that little hurricane that blew through here a few weeks ago ) may have been responsible for some tire and rim damage to our cart.
We just got the cart back today with brand new tires and rims. 
Olivier seems very happy with the new ones- now he has four months to figure out how to get them off the cart and on his car!

Another year - same old Blog

So, here we are, back in Florida for another year.
It has taken us a few days to feel settled in but we are mostly there.
We have had a chance to reconnect with many of our friends here but this picture is a great reminder that we have left many wonderful friends at home.
They organized a breakfast get-together to say farewell on a bitterly cold and windy morning and we sure did appreciate that.
So, Monique and Pete, Leone and John, Lorraine and Barry, Jackie and Dave- we will miss you and look forward to getting together in the Spring.
