CHRISTMAS SEASON in CENTRAL FLORIDA

Our tree in the motorhome!

Sun catcher, beautiful fire!

December 27, 2019. The year is just about finished!  I keep forgetting to take pictures at an event or at a workshop, so I will wrap the year up and try to get my Blog book ordered today when I can order it at half price.  Think I'll make it??
We are finished with most of the dinners except for one on New Years Day.  Have to have the pork and kraut!!.
Since my last Blog the ROMEOS and the SKPettes went out on December 20th.  The Really Old Men were Eating Out at Jimmy's Greek and American Restaurant and the SKPettes ate at the Jacaranda Hotel's Buffet Restaurant in Avon Park.  The Buffet was great and the decorating there was awesome!!

The Buffet was on through the double sets of doors.
And our seating area was behind me when I was taking
this picture.

Sandra, on the left, rode over to Avon Park with me
and sat next to me..

These two ladies sat across from me.
Our group filled the whole section from me to the windows. 

They also had a Christmas Caroling evening in the park.  We also had a speaker in from the Extension office to give a presentation on Honey Bees, Fact and Fiction.  It was very interesting and we learned that there are many other methods of pollination besides honey bees. And the honey bees are not at risk of extinction, much as everyone says!!!
Our Park also had a Christmas Eve Program, which included a poem written by a member who has since passed away and the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, with different wording which was acted out.  It was hilarious!!!  They did a great job!!!

The second day was the sewer hose!

The third day was the RV scrub brushes!

The fifth day was the handyman and his tools!

The sixth day was our Julie with her duct tape!
I love to tell her story of eighty pounds lost over the past
year with her miles of  daily walking and bike riding
here in the park. 

The seventh day was the RVer sharing her
information about all of the organizations that
are so well known and much used by the RVers.

And on to Twelve!
The cookie tables after were great. Of course, the home baked were the best!!

Susan, is our greeter in the park with her home baked!!

We also have to talk with the oldest member in the park. 

Anne is 97 and still driving.
She and I used the laundry room together the other day.
She is so fun to talk to!!

 Sunday, December 22nd, New Hope Baptist Church had their Cantata in the morning and in the evening the Children put on their Play using a 2 week old baby from the congregation. They also played the Bells.

Our music leader kept them rolling right along!

The last song was by candle light and we went outside between rain drops.
The last hoopla here in the park will be a dance New Year's Eve, though we will not go to since we seldom dance.  We will attend the New Years Dinner on N.Y. day.  It will be the usual pork and kraut with everything else carry-in.
The weather has been some cool and rain and then some in the seventies and I get to sit out to read!!  I love that!!
Gary and I went to the Highland Art Center in Sebring, Florida on Christmas Eve when I was to take my scrapbooking for the lady in charge to take a look at.  She wants me to do my scrapbooking there on Tuesdays when Gary goes to do his drawing.  I will do it weekly for the balance of the winter season here.  She is hoping to get a scrapbooking group going there.  I am sure that I will get tired of taking my materials back and forth each time, but I am glad to be of some help!!
We are wishing you all a HEALTHY and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  Take care!!
