December 19 - 22
It has not seemed like Christmas until now. Carols in Walmart and lights on a palm tree did not really do anything for me. We hear lots of reports of snow, ice and bitter cold from home and we really love the warmth and sun here in Florida but only in the past couple of days have I really begun to feel that Christmas is almost here. Greg and Tara arrived on Friday. Tara's parents, Andy and Joan McEvoy have a condo here and their son Paul and his wife Makiko and their children are already here. On Sunday, Jack and I went to Calvery Baptist Church right near the RV park and the dry place in my heart was well watered with God's Word and the wonderful music of Christmas carols. Now I'm looking forard to Christmas - its truly a time for family and sharing. Derek comes tomorrow from Michigan to be with us for 5 days! We're looking forward to that.

RV Superstore
December 17 and 18
Lazy Days is a huge RV dealer had I got a coupon for 2 nights free stay in their "Rally Park" . This site includes a free newspaper at your site every morning, free breakfast and lunch in the Rec Hall, cable TV and wifi at your site and large heated pool in a beautiful lanai. Nearby is a Cracker Barrel resturant and Flying J Truck stop. We looked around at new and used RVs. Sales are sharply down so the salesmen are dealing but we were never bothered by a salesperson as we looked around. We are not in the market at all but it's always interesting to look.

Naples to Venice
December 15 and 16
This morning as we took our usual am walk in the campground, we saw a bobcat walking thorough some campsites! It was foggy but burned off as we drove north to Venice. We spent two days walking on the beach and looking up friends from home in Ontario. Fred and Jane Reinders were happy to show us their home here - they have found that they really like the warm temps and easy living. Simon and Martha Kowenhoven live nearby and Ray and Carol Zomer are camp hosts at the Oscar Scherer State Park. Their lovely campsite which they do not pay for because they volunteer many hours of labour in the park, was right on the river and Ray has made a pet of a bright red cardinal by giving it peanuts.
