HOLIDAYS IN WAUCHULA, FLORIDA

Beginning the Holiday Season, food, food everywhere!!  Christmas will soon be here!! Amazing how the time flies.  We've even skipped some of the things on our calendar.  Just can't handle it all.
There is something to do everyday in the resort, but we pick and choose.  Since I fell here in the motorhome on Saturday, December 7th, I have not been too eager to go out.  I am feeling better and getting around more, but it is even better when I take Ibuprofen.
Gary has also been going to a chiropractor, so he is in less pain from his pinched nerve.  Thus he did holiday decorating outside while I did the inside. So we feel like we are ready for Christmas now that Thanksgiving has passed.  I even looked up cookie recipes last evening.

Gary at his best!

Think he did a good job!!

Not sure if I will do any special baking as we certainly don't need to eat it.  It is bad enough that we are going out to eat two or three times a week!! We had Thanksgiving Dinner here in the park and then dinner the very next day with left overs and one the Sunday before at church!!  It was great to have the fellowship though and the turkey!!

Wednesday, December 11th, many SKPs went out together at Nicholas Family Restaurant last week and we got to visit a lot with friends, George and Lillian.  If I would get out of my seat and walk around to take pictures, I would get more faces!!

our SS Class and Church.

                                                                                                                                                   

Today Gary will be teaching his colored pencil class and I will scrap book at the same time in the clubhouse.  It is nice open work space for us.  I haven't had any one join me, but they do stop by and see what I am doing.  I do accomplish something this way on such a nice six foot table space.
This past week on the 12th our Sunday School Class had a nice covered dish dinner out in the country. One of the farmers in our class has such a nice place with a very nice LARGE pavilion.  It was a good thing that day as it rained all day.  Thank goodness it was not heavy rain.

Hm-m-m, the guys got all the chairs.

Susan and Gayle

Can't remember all these names!  Sorry!

This past Sunday we enjoyed a preview of the Christmas Program coming up.  There are some awesome voices there and their Bell Choir have been playing.  So we have some awesome programs coming up!!

I just received this by text a couple days ago from Savannah, young Rich's fiance'.  I am amazed at how good she is!!  I have a picture of clouds that I will send to her and see how she does with it. 

Savannah's painting!!

We also took a picture of some art that my great nieces girls showed us when we stopped at there house a couple weeks ago.  We had just learned of this liquid ink art and were amazed at what these children had done with it.  We will be seeing them again while down here, so should have some more pictures of their art!! We look forward to that.

Some art from the Reese's house!!
Those kids always amaze us.

When Gary was at the Clovely House in Sebring, Florida to volunteer at the Gallery there, he found this turtle.  I think that it is beautiful.  He will probably try to draw it in the future. 

Can you see his head in this one?

There are so many neat things around!!   I saw this hanging from a tree branch next to a McDonald's.  I just thought it was an interesting arrangement!!
Not much else to share this time.  But more on the calendar, so check back in a week and I will share.
