Our First Parade

We are off to a Christmas parade in the town of Mims

 We had about ten carts that were decorated for Christmas. We are heading down route 1 on our way to the starting point of the parade.

 We were really surprised at the amount of things in the parade. There were airboats decorated, along with redneck portable stills.

 This thing is used for driving in the mud and wet lands. The Shriners were there with their go carts, and there were school bands.

 This was the lead vehicle for our golf cart group.

 Even had some miniature horses.

 Plus lots of classic cars.

 Then there was us. We all had a big bag of candy canes to toss to the kids. We also bought a bunch of Teddy Bears to give to the little less fortunate kids.

 We all had such a great time but agree we have to get more stuff for the little kids next year.

 Coming up at the end of the run and we are out of candy.

 We all had a lot of fun but feel bad that we didn't get to see the parade. It was a big parade and we were only a small part of it.

Joyce's New Ride

They delivered Joyce's cart today.

 It is actually a 2010 Club Car that has been rebuilt with new everything. Custom body, 6" lift kit, oversize wheels and tires. Living our 2nd childhood.

As for my yellow Jeep Wrangler, I had it towed to a local garage yesterday. I have decided to speed a little money on it because I love that Jeep. Will do the brakes first, and a rear axle seal. Will still need shocks if I get to it. Will play this one by ear!

Catching Up

We are about 95% done with our unpacking. I put some plywood down up in the attic so we could store what we wanted to save. That's the problem, little storage area in the house but we don't need all that stuff anymore.

My yellow Jeep Wrangler is sick, had to replace the alternator and belt then when I went to do a test drive, I blew a break line........brake fluid all over my driveway, AHHHH!

Had to walk away for now but I think it's time to sell my favorite vehicle.

On the exciting side....we have a big launch coming up at the Cape. We get perfect views from our back yard. Check this out......(click here). This baby is going to shake the house for sure.

Joyce has been wanting a golf cart for the longest time but I didn't want just a regular cart, I wanted one that looks bad. I am in my second childhood. It should be delivered late this week, will post pic's.

Back In Paradise!!

We have been back for just over a week and we have been working hard to unpack things and get the house to where we want it.

Got some plywood laid out in the attic so we could put some storage bins up there. I have also been building shelves in my small storage closet.

Some of our lawn took a hit with all the rain so I have been replacing some sections with new sod. Joyce and I are beat and plan on taking a day off to do nothing but enjoy the sun.
Maybe a day at the beach!!!
