My Christmas tree

I looked and looked for my mini tree before we left home with no luck. I knew as soon as I bought one I'd find the other but then we saw these little live pines at W/M and thought it would be perfect. It's covered with glittery sparkles and I added the drums.

Doug finally got his fishing license so he will be at the fishing jetty soon. He's only been waiting 8 months to get back out there.

Olive is still hanging in there, but probably not much longer.

Today it was 84 but down to 47 last night. We aren't suffering too much though. Only 5 more days till Christmas! Really?!?!

We've had off and on showers the last couple days but I guess it's much needed since we've been told it is the first rain since October! We are still doing things around the park while waiting for our car to be delivered on Friday (it's Weds now). Today  I'm going to go  learn how to play Bunco and Doug is going to try to tease the fish onto his hook at the lake.

Thought you'd get a kick of our UPS delivery "truck" here. What a job! Every day till Christmas we see her driving around the park. After the holidays the big brown truck will be back.

Olive is still not her usual self she kind of rallies and then stops eating again. We're taking good care of her though.

Our Second Home

We have arrived in Sarasota for our 4th winter in Florida. We got here a week earlier then last year. (I seem to sense a pattern here) and plan to stay till the end of March. This time we were able to take off during a mild spell at home and only encountered scattered showers. Luckily our muddy road froze the night before (even though it doesn't look like it) we left or we may have been stuck there till spring! 

We left on a Tues and arrived Fri afternoon for an uneventful trip. Our car is being transported down for us and it should arrive by next Friday.  


We had a scare with Olive last night, she hadn't drank or used the litter box all day. Luckily she did eat a little wet food so I added some water to it to try and keep her hydrated. She still isn't herself but is better today. She's still able to jump on the sofa where her bed is so she isn't too weakened but I was worried. Especially since we won't have a car for another week.
Today it is almost 80 and so very nice.We'll  be thinking of all of you. . . .
