The tree is up.....
........and Santa is in the house, with our Christmas gifts!
Just a little worried about the Grinch tree though.
Hopefully, all will be well.

Stoney Creek's Santa Claus parade was held today. This year the Optimist Club decided to forego our second rate float and just go with a convertible - Mardi's convertible.
Yesterday, Mardi, A.J. and I struggled to get the top down. A couple of parts (that Chrysler no longer stocks) previously broke and fell off the trunk lid so it quits when half way open. We were eventually successful, although we're not sure why or how.
But it easily closed after the parade so, tomorrow, it can be put away for the winter.

And we're starting to think about our packing for Florida. Haven't located any bullet proof vests yet, but otherwise should be OK.
At one point we considered aborting our Florida plans, but the rigors of old age, and the fact that we own Florida property made the decision for us.
Our two weeks of timeshare ownership got us eight weeks at Orange Lake and a reasonable rental added another four weeks in Port Richey. Too good to pass up!
I start driving south on January 2. Expect to be at the Orlando airport on the 4th to meet Mardi's Porter flight from Hamilton.
Next year the decision will hopefully be easier. Our timeshare should get us a full three months in 2027. And by then, the political situation may have improved enough that our friends will feel comfortable joining us once again (we have lots of open time this year folks, just give us a call).
----------------------------------------
Stay well.
