Days 36 & 37 - Tuesday & Wednesday, December 16 & 17 - Nothing Exciting

 Tuesday - Today was the first "Jam Session" of the season at Lakewood. A group of singers/musicians "perform" at several campgrounds during the week. They come here on Tuesdays. There were only about 7 people this session, usually there are 12-15. I recognized most of them from last year. A couple of them were usually okay. After listening to several of them this session I left, it was to painful to hear what they were doing to country and western songs I love.

The "highlight" of my day was doing 45 minutes on the campground treadmill.

 I've mentioned the "zoo" at the Walmart parking lot several times. I took this photo of the lot on Monday but forgot to include it in Monday's post.

This is normal. Kathy's handicapped parking sticker does no good down here. There is never an open handicapped spot with all us old folks down here for the winter. I usually drop Kathy off at the door and then go find a place to park. She usually walks back out to the car with me.

Wednesday - Light rain fell, on and off, most of the night and during the early morning. I didn't do much all morning, then ate an early lunch and got in 90 minutes at Planet Fitness.

On the way to Planet Fitness I stopped and took more photos of the flowers down the street. The purple ones are the ones I like most. They do have short thorns on the vines, similar to those on a rose bush.

 

The red ones have vicious 1" thorns on the vines. They might make a good privacy hedge.  You wouldn't have to worry about people creeping through them.

I took a nap in the afternoon, then around 5:20 we headed over to the Clubhouse to participate in the Campground Caroling and Christmas Parade. It was supposed to start at 5:30. It misted rain, on and off, as we loaded chairs on a trailer and prepared to go caroling. After caroling we were to return to the clubhouse for hot chocolate and cupcakes. EVERYTHING we have participated in here starts on time or early. I took the photo below about 5:30. At 5:50 there were at least 8 people sitting on the chairs, in the misting rain, waiting to leave. That is when we were told the caroling & parade wasn't going to start until 6:30. Kathy had supper cooking, we went home. Around 6:45 the carolers, followed by 10 decorated golf carts, several decorated bikes and two decorated radio controlled cars went by the coach, as we were finishing our supper.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
