DeBary, FL.
39 deg. clear, NW wind @ 2 mph.
Forecast = Clear. High of 57F. Winds from the North at 10 to 15 mph.
It's been awhile since I last posted, so I thought I'd better let you know that I'm still here in DeBary and everything is fine.
Jim and Linda haven't been doing much. Oh, they've been doing things like grocery shopping, going out to eat once in awhile and other normal day to day things. The park has been pretty quiet since Christmas and some of the people in the park are already starting to take down decorations.
The weather has been pretty strange here this year. We have been having cold fronts that come through the area about every 3 or 4 days. It drops the temperatures down into the 30's at night with highs in the 50's or 60's. Then in between the cold fronts, it warms up, so that the temperature is in the mid to upper 70's, (Even getting into the 80's at times), before another front, (with rain and sometime storms), comes through and drops the temperatures back down again.
A lot of people are getting colds and are blaming it on the wide temperature swings, but I don't know if that's what's causing it or not.
They're having a New Years Eve party over at the clubhouse Monday night but Jim and Linda aren't planing on going. They both prefer to just stay home and watch a movie on TV or something.
I don't know if I'll be posting again before the New Year, so I want to wish all of you a safe and Happy New Year. Please stay safe and watch out for all the crazy drivers out there if you're going to be traveling.
Did you know that the Roman emperor Julius Caesar officially declared January 1 to be a New Year in 46 B.C? Romans worshiped God Janus who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. The month of January was named after this Roman God and it gave an idea to the emperor to establish January as a gate to the New Year.

Friday's Photos and Breakfast With The King And Queen
Summerdale, AL.
57 deg overcast, no wind.
Forecast = Partly cloudy. High of 61F. Winds from the WNW at 10-25 mph with gusts to 35 mph.
I finally got some photos of Friday's dinner and the selection and Coronation of the King and Queen to load.
The photo below is of some of the people at the dinner. There were so many that it was impossible to get them all in a shot or two. : )
The announcement of the King and Queen!!!!!!
The King!!!!
And the Queen!!!!
A few of the decorations in the Clubhouse
Yesterday morning, Linda managed to get up at the "crack of dawn" and make it over to the clubhouse for breakfast with Jim and the King and Queen. There were lots of folks there and everyone enjoyed juice, pancakes, bacon or sausage and coffee. ; )
Jim and Linda said that there weren't quite as many people there as there were for the dinner, but the clubhouse was pretty much filled up.
It wasn't long before Jim and Linda came back here. The skies were threatening and the forecast was for rain and possible severe weather, so they felt it was best to return shortly after finishing their meal and talking to a few friends.
It rained most of the day and then later in the afternoon, it started to get pretty nasty. The rain intensified, there was thunder and lightning and the winds really picked up for awhile.
Oh, and did I mention that there were flood and tornado warnings and watches for the area? : O
Luckily, it didn't get too nasty here at the park and I don't think that there was any damage. At least none that I could see.
After the storms passed, Jim and Linda fooled around with the computers and watched TV.
Speaking of TV, did any of you watch the demolition derby at Daytona last night? I really didn't like the 2 by 2 racing that they've been doing in the past, but I don't think a race where 1/2 of the cars are wrecked before it's half over will very interesting either. : (
Maybe the drivers will use their heads and figure things out before the Daytona 500 next weekend.
Did you know that the ever-popular beaded necklaces, so ubiquitously associated with Mardi Gras today, didn't come into play until the 1880s?
That's when one of the Krewes dressed up a member as Santa Claus and had him toss out glass beads. It was such a hit that by 1900, beaded necklaces had become the Mardi Gras throw. Somewhere along the way, those lovely glass beads got replaced by cheap plastic and aluminum beads, which today earn the thrower a flash (of flesh). That particular "trading" tradition most likely dates back to the 1970s.

Darrell And Judy Come Visit and A Meal At The Clubhouse
Summerdale, AL.
48 deg. overcast, no wind.
Forecast = Cloudy. Numerous rain showers. Highs in the lower 60s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph becoming south in the afternoon. Chance of showers 60 percent.
Jim didn't feel well yesterday morning. You know, just kind of crummy, but not really too bad. So. . . . he didn't do anything except sit a watch TV and play with the computer a little. Linda, on the other hand, did a load of laundry, worked on her Family Tree Maker program and did some more on her embroidery project.
By noon, Jim was feeling much better and it's a good thing too, because Darrell and Judy, Wandering America, who are Jim and Linda's friends, stopped by to see me and to visit for awhile.
Again, it was just like talking to someone you had just seen, when in reality, they hadn't seen each other since last year when they happened to meet up in a CG in Bristol, TN. And then, it was a very short visit because Darrell and Judy were just passing through.
Anyway, I think they liked me and after getting the "tour", everyone sat inside and visited for at least an hour. : )
About 4:30, Denny, (one of the Illinois Bunch), called. He just wanted to thank Jim again for helping him with that spring air bag that he replaced on his MH. That was really nice of him since Jim says he really didn't do that much to help.
Thanks for calling Denny. : )
For dinner, Jim and Linda went over to the clubhouse here at the park. They serve dinners over there a couple times a week and last night it was "Hamburger stroganoff over noodles with vegetables, salad, desert and drinks", all for $6!!!!!
When they came back here after eating, Jim and Linda were still talking about how good the food was and how friendly the people were. ; )
The evening was spent watching TV until bedtime.
Oh, and Linda finished up that embroidery project she's been working on. : )
Today, if the weather holds and it doesn't rain too much, Jim and Linda are planning on doing some shopping. There's one of those outlet malls down in Foley, AL, (just a little South of here), and Linda wants to go to a "kitchen" store to look at some new pots and pans. And, I think Jim wants to stop by the Coleman outlet store to see what they have that he can't live without. ; )
Did you know that on this date in 1863 - The fire extinguisher was patented by Alanson Crane?

They're Coming Today and Breakfast
DeBary, FL.
60 deg. mostly cloudy, no wind.
Forecast = Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 70s. East winds 10 to 15 mph.
Laura and Ashley were busy yesterday, so they're coming this morning to help decorate me. The park is finished with all the decorations on the "island" now and it's looking pretty neat.
They had a sausage / biscuit / scrambled egg breakfast over at the clubhouse yesterday morning so Jim and Linda headed over there a little before 9:00. When they came back they were talking about how good the food was, and how nice all the people were.
Jim got an e-mail from Jenny and it sounds like Don is doing better but is still in the hospital for observation. Keep those thoughts and prayers coming and maybe he'll be able to come home soon.
Did you know that the human heart beats about 100.000 times each day?
