Quick catch up

Just so you didn't think we motored off without telling anyone, I wanted to give a quick update on the last week.  It's not very exciting as we have a bunch of housekeeping chores that have been beckoning us.  We have been working on, I guess I should say, in, our storage unit.  We are trying to make a real effort to clean out, give away and reevaluate our "stuff".  The final goal would be switching to a smaller, or can I even say it, getting rid of our storage unit.  But we have come to realize that unless we really change things up we are stuck with it for now.  Although Goodwill did get several loads:-)  We've listed on eBay a lot of the parts we were able to salvage from the old Aqua-Hot, and have even sold some already.  Got the scooter a new battery and a oil change.  Fought with the new control box for our TV lift mechanism for 1 1/2 days to finally find out the new control box was bad, frustrating.  So now we are ready to enjoy our time here in ernest, and of course get just a few little projects done along the way.

In between we have been enjoying ourselves as well.  We are catching up with Ray and April, and had a wonderful "traditional" New Year's dinner with roasted pork, collard greens, black eyed peas, and cornbread to ensure the new year will be a good one.  We had a unexpected visit from Jason, hit several of our favorite restaurants, and we have been making the rounds in the campground enjoying our friends.

Jan and I had a wild New Year celebration, enjoyed no sunset, it was cloudy, but still nice at the south jetty, toasted with some wine and shrimp, made it to at least 10pm, which is still better than some other years, don't groan, some of us are just not cut out for late nites:-)

Our New Year's party:-)
