Fun times in my life!

It's a rainy day in Florida so as I seat at my computer and look through old pictures I remember

some fun times in my life. These pictures are just a few.

My wedding to Leigh, we had a wonderful time dancing and that feeling of love. Our trip to Alaska where we did so many fun things like bush plane ride over Mt McKinley( Denali )

and white water rafting in class 5 rapids. My ride on the rides at Ocean View when I was 12 and my mother took me there. Catching my first big bass in the 1000 islands. Taking my grandmother Katherine through the New England States on her 80th birthday. Vacation with my daughter Joy and grand kids in Duck. Fun times in the 1000 islands with my cousin Johnny and his girl Rena. Also taking my aunt Doris there as she never got to go anywhere. And of course the Toga party Skip had at our house in Owego. There are many many more but this is just a few wonderful memories of fun times. As I look at all the pictures I love remember happy times.

Lazy Day!

Today was a lazy day for me today! My husband was off so we did our 6 mile morning walk and I did my housekeeping. Leigh went to the nursing home to fed his dad and I opted to stay home and go to the beach. It was really warm today it got into the 80's but there was a haze over the beach most of the day today. But I went and sat and read my book and believe it or not I got sun through that haze.

Then I came home and sat out on the deck and read some more. Just relaxing and enjoying the day. It is nice to have these lazy days every once in awhile. Then to finish the day off we walked down to the Fisherman's Net for their Tuesday night fish fry. Life is good in Florida!

Another Morning Walk!

Good morning! I am sure you are probably tired of seeing our walk pictures, but our life now has a routine and the walk is part of it. We walk go to the nursing home and just hang out. Life is alittle boring right now.

Today's walk shows what this cold snap in Florida has done to plants, flowers, and fruit. it was freezing this morning for the 3rd day, but as we walked temperatures have started to rise and today it should be around 68. There were quite a few birds in the marsh this morning and on the beach I did not post us feeding the gulls again. LOL.

Well I better go I have to run back to farmer market to get our kettle corn.

To all of you who read this blog have a nice day!

update on Grandpa Page

Yesterday we got the care plan update on Grandpa Page. The good news is they have taken him off Hospice and he has gained 2 pounds. When we got here he was losing weight and not very alert. That has changed. Thank you God! But we are somewhat concerned as for the last few days he has not eating well and he has developed a cough. A cough and fluid in his lungs is what got him down before. He has pulled out of it each time but we always worry when he gets the cough and slows his eating. But for now we will take the good news and pray about the bad.

Dear family please keep him in your prayers.

Another cold day in Florida!

We had to get up at 3 AM this morning to put our awning down. The wind was blowing so hard we thought it was going to blow the RV over with the awning up. So here we were out there in the cold in our PJ's putting the awning down in the wind. Any RV owners can tell you how much fun that is. So we slept in until 7:30 AM a first for us as we are usually up by 5 am.

So then we had oatmeal because the temps dropped last night and the wind chill made it feel like about 20 degrees. But that did not stop us from doing our walk and feeding the gulls. The gulls look for us now and as soon as we hit the beach they are there mouths open.

The rest of the day I am sitting watching TV and history in the making. I wanted Hillary but I hope Obama can make the changes he promised. And whether I voted for him or not I am happy to be a part of history in the making. And bring back the dream that every child in America can someday grow up to be president.

True beauty

I have seen this couple walking on the beach many times. They walk hand in hand. She in her bikini. I want to be like that someday. Not ashamed of my body. Happy to be alive and walking hand in hand with my husband down the beach just enjoying the sunshine.

Leigh and I are getting there. We have grown closer as we travel around America and enjoy the sites and new friends along the way. We have been learning new life lessons as we go. This is a good time in our lives. In a few years we might stop traveling and be like this couple out for a stroll on the beach here in Florida. But for now we have places to go and things to see and people to meet. We are so looking forward to leaving here in May and going to Maine for our next adventure.

Great Day for a ride!

Today was a great day for riding so we headed to the nursing home to feed dad. Then we went to the Iron Horse Saloon to spend the gift certificate Paulie gave us for Christmas. I got 2 long sleeve 2009 bike week shirts and Leigh got 2 also.

We then went to Daytona Beach to try the find the flea market but, we could not find it so we took the scenic ride through the Ormond loop and then finished off the day at Finn's on the roof top over looking the ocean. It was a good day in Florida!
