THE ADVENTURES OF THE BABIES

The babies have been taking a nice long nap, for about a week, and they are now well rested. I decided to take them out yesterday for a little exercise. The first place we headed was just
down the road from our site, to the swing. They had a real fun time and were very well behaved.

Then Jammin' Jaden took off to climb on the vines, and

of course Aqua Maria had to follow. They swang on the vines, and did lots of Tarzan yells while pretending to rescue people in trouble.

Not to be out done, Chip climbed a tree, and then

Bob-a-Lou had to follow. It was hard for the little one to keep up, so

I finally convinced everyone to settle down again. The girls sat nicely and looked at the bayou, while

the boys dreamed of driving the big boats with the orange tops docked off in the distance.

Everyone was very tired last night, and went right to sleep with no troubles.

So Jaden, Madison, Ben and Anna, your little friends are having a good time and they are behaving themselves pretty well. Thanks again for letting them come along.

THINGS FOUND ON THE BEACH

Sand and water

Nice waves

Shells and blue things? A type of jelly fish????

Thousands of shells........

Awesome jelly fish

Garbage

Garbage

And more garbage. Ugh. People shape up. You are spoiling our beautiful sea shore!

MEXICO BEACH AND MORE APPALACHICOLA

Windy beach..........

Love the way they line up facing into the wind!

How did that boat get on top of the middle one?

This one is filled with water......I think it's seen better days, don't you?

MEXICO BEACH, APPALACHICOLA, AND BEYOND

Shrimp boats at Appalachicola

Condos along the gulf......I call them birdhouses!

Interesting tower on one side, isn't it?

A few if the larger homes along the gulf.

My feet in the gulf!

I love the beach and the beautiful decorating job that God does.

My friend wasn't very shy!

Another of God's decorating jobs.

That is the roof of a picnic shelter and bathhouse against the blue sky.

Wind swept sand dunes are beautiful.

Love the reflections in the water at Dead Lake.

Amazing reflections, don't you think?

TUESDAY POT LUCK

Every Tuesday night there is a pot luck up at the clubhouse here in the campground. This is our table and friends this past Tuesday. Carole in the pink, Glenn in the blue, Ernie in the striped shirt, Bev in the white and Dick in the blue, all waiting for the signal to head to the table.
The table is laden with tons of food. NUMMY!

Lots of people attend as you can see by the line up at the table.

People are pretty intense while eating! Notice in the whole room, no one is looking up from their plate!

CATCH UP DAY

Today was kind of a catch up day. I did a little laundry, just stuff that I could throw in the dryer. I have my Amish clothes rack along but with the humidity in the dripping zone, clothes wouldn't dry in days of being hung out. So I only washed dryer safe stuff. I read a bunch of blogs that I was behind on, but didn't comment on any. I was so far behind that it was all I could do to read them all! I'll do better, I promise. I cleaned the shower in the trailer that we are using as a storage spot, and straightened up things all around. If we don't keep it all picked up, we have no room to move. Now it's time to think of making something for supper.

What did Ernie do, you ask? He went golfing.

IT'S NOT EASY SEEING GREEN!

Here's our spot, only one spot away from where we parked two years ago!

Here's one of our neighbors.

This spot is about a 30 second walk from our site.

This is where I think I will be forced to sit in the early morning and drink my coffee made in a French press from fresh ground coffee beans. Too bad it faces West instead of East. But by evening I'm sure I'll be back to watch the sunset.

What color do you see? In case you forgot, it's called GREEN! And the water is in the liquid state!

Just thought I'd give you a few shots of green. Isn't it refreshing? Don't you just love it?

I suppose it's a good four months before some of you will see this color. I'm sorry.

FOGGY PHOTOS

Yesterday morning it was very foggy as we took off for the last leg of our trip. I love the hills but

it was hard to see them very clearly due to the fog. There was also a lot of traffic. I suppose it was the holiday travelers going back home.

It really would have been a beautiful drive had it been clear and sunny.

And remember, these photo were taken out the window of the truck, barreling down the highway at 65 or 70 miles an hour, so some are blurry in addition to the fog!

I was amazed that this picture turned out this well because it was a victim of the fog and the 70 miles an hour. It could be clearer, but isn't it a beautiful setting?

I figured this place was more in my price range.

When you see the tall, straight pine trees you know you're getting close.

And here we are! This bay is a few blocks from the campground that we will call home for the next two months. Hopefully we'll have sunshine and clear skies so I can get some better photos.

WE'RE HERE!

HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY: 79 DEGREES

CURRENT TEMPERATURE (AT 8:30 PM): 66 DEGREES

We arrived this afternoon about four after 1300 some miles. No troubles along the way, good roads, and Mr. Garmin did his job and got us here. (I decided to change from her to him.....and we like him better!) It rained really hard right as we were going through Birmingham, but we needed the salt washed off the truck anyhow!

We had a horrible motel last night in Alabama. There was a crack along side the door that was about an inch wide! The floor creaked so loud I though the place was falling down. The clock/radio didn't work at all, and there were very few people staying there. Wonder why? And this was a major nationwide chain. Never again! Oh, the wireless connection dropped me right after I completed loading a bunch of pictures and writing a post, so I decided to just forget it. I'll get some photos up tomorrow.

I'm tired now. Good night!
