After the service, we met up with Burt and Pat, the folks from Maine that we had visited this past summer. They had arrived last evening and it was so nice to see them again. They need some days to recoup from the long drive and then we will plan to get together in the near future. Pat did invite us for New Year's Eve, which was so nice, but we already have plans to go to Rick and Joyce's for a card party with 2 other couples.
We decided not to go out to breakfast this morning, so came back to the campground, packed a light lunch, changed, and headed to Manasota Beach. What a gorgeous beach day. After setting up our chairs, we both went for a walk looking for sharks teeth. We go our separate ways because Ken always takes a longer walk and it is hard to stay together when you are on "the hunt"! We had gotten there at 12:30 and by 3:15 we were on our way back to the campground so I could watch some football.
The water was such a beautiful color today! |
The beach was crowded for December! |
Ken always likes to take this photo when at Manasota Beach! |
We showered and then I worked on this blog while watching the Bears/Vikings game. Unfortunately we were unable to get the Eagles or Steelers game. I guess those 2 teams aren't that special in Florida! But, Matt Nagy, the coach of the Bears is a graduate of Manheim Central High School, where Ken and I graduated, so that always make their games interesting. I was so excited that the Bears and Eagles won, because now the Eagles are in the play-offs, but they play each other next week!
After dinner, Ken worked on some messages for his CR buddies back home and I finished one afghan and started another one for Knots of Love. I also made tallies to take to our New Year's Eve Party to give to Joyce as a Hostess Gift! We watched the Colts/Titans game until about 10:30 and then it was time for bed.
I did have a nice conversation with Cindy and Noela. Cindy and John will be in northern Texas tonight (about a 10 hour drive) and then head to Brownsville, TX in the morning where they will stay until the beginning of April. Ernie and Noela left Canada this morning and drove 10 1/2 hours to Hagerstown, Maryland. They hope to get to near Brunswick, GA tomorrow, then pick up their 5th wheel near Homasassa, FL on New Years Day and arrived here at the CG on Wednesday.
Ken and I had a great day and are looking forward to the New Year's Eve Party.
