It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..(no way)

It's been another busy month.

Guy had a Birthday. We celebrated by going out to dinner....

"anywhere you want to go" I said....and where did he choose?

Red Lobster!!!

It was a great meal, reminded us a little bit of home.Guy volunteers at the Elks every Tuesday night.

A couple of weeks ago, a group of us headed down to partake in one of the meals he helps put on....Here he is dressed in his "uniform".
Arlyn, Marie, Linda, John, Carolyn and I sat while he waited on us.
Kinda of a special treat for me...

Now, this is pretty sad....this is my "Christmas Tree"..

Marie and I went on a shopping spree at Old Tyme Pottery where I bought a couple of Snowman dishes....

Guy decorated our half of the balcony. It looks pretty at night with the lights shining...

A real wreath from LL Bean makes it feel like a little
bit of home.

Last Sunday we had our Christmas Beach Party.

It was the last day we enjoyed warm weather.

Got a package in the mail and we were excited to find our friend Steve sent us a couple of "grabbers". These are fantastic when we do the Beach Cleanup. The last thing you want to do is reach in the bushes for papers or trash....you just never know what's crawling around in there....Thanks so much Steve..

He also threw in a couple of pedometers.

It has given me incentive
to walk every day...My goal is to walk at least 10,000 steps a day.

The Grabbers!

Guy testing the Grabbers strength...

Last Saturday we watched Cocoa Beach's annual Christmas Parade.

It was pretty fun...and lasted over an hour.

Look closely and you will see the neatest Christmas Hat.

These Segways are a popular way of transportation down here.

They rent them by the hour or by the day.

I am so fascinated with them, I am looking for an excuse to ride one.

Of course, Santa is the highlight of the parade.

Saturday evening was a little chilly, but with a heavy sweatshirt, gloves and a hat, we were comfortable.

After the parade, we came home to pick up our friends, and off we went to watch the Boat Parade.

There were over 30 boats all decorated in lights, with music

and in the Holiday spirit. I was disappointed most of the pictures didn't come out, and the ones that did, really didn't do it justice.

We all came back to the Condo for drinks and snacks after.

Here is Christine all wrapped up in Guy's quilt, still shivering from the cold.

Christine and Bill

Today, we drove down to Viera to do a little shopping, but mostly just wandering around the stores enjoying the Holiday decorations and Christmas spirit. Had lunch at Mim's Cafe and then came home.

We're getting a little restless, waiting for Friday and our flight home.
