Sunday - we were up early and went to 6:45 Mass followed by a trip to Publix. Back to our lot and got Flo ready for departure. 2-hour trip over here to Water's Edge and so good to be back. Lots of nice changes since we were here last January. Good to see old friends and meet new ones from Myrtle Beach and Des Moines.
Settled Flo in her new spot from where we had Daisy. Went for a bike ride, Mark put new weight bench together and then it was Happy Hour time under the tiki hut. Fun catching up with everyone and planning our NY Eve party tonight starting at 4.
A bank had taken over a few years ago as previous owners went bankrupt. And then, the bank went bankrupt!!!!! So, this summer, 2 guys bought it and have made some great changes......all new mulch around all the shrubs, palm trees, etc. pretty colored umbrellas around the pool, painted furniture outside club house, nice picnic tables here and there, hammock, etc. +++ a brand new water system throughout the park.
New Year's Eve - breakfast and exercised with new weight bench on our patio, Rode my bike around the park (much smaller than Cypress Trail) and late morning we went into town and picked up a few goodies for tonight's NY Eve party.
Anne and Connor were Salvation Army bell ringers in December and recently pictured in the Pantagraph - unfortunately, the Salvation Army did not meet their goal this year.
Anne is ringing the bell and Connor is holding the bucket
A big "thank you for your service" to Ryan today as he completes his military career with the Navy. He served almost 13 years. Very proud of you, Ryan!
Mark and I have many happy memories and experiences including his winging ceremony in 2006 in Kingsville, TX, the Tiger Cruise trip on the USS Stennis in 2012 and all the thrills of watching Ryan narrate and then fly #6 and #5 as a Blue Angel. We'll forever cherish all the friends we met along the way....
On this last day of 2018, Mark put our annual stats together for our travels this past year and a breakdown of where we stayed each night:
Daisy/Flo - 212
Hotels - 43
Family/friends - 30
Boat slips - 78
At anchor - 2
We had a fun New Year's Eve party at the clubhouse with lots of yummy appetizers and desserts. So neat meeting new folks and seeing more old friends. As usual, though, the party broke up well before midnight but included a few fireworks to add a festive touch!
