Yikes it went down to 47 degrees on the 27th Nov.

But all is good. It went up to 80 this afternoon.

Happy Thanksgiving and a special mention to our son who thought about his grandfather(farfar) on Remembrance Day "Cherishing the ones who paved the way to live our lives. Especially my farfar. Rest in peace. Thanks Adam.

We had a great get together here at Baybreeze on the 23rd. It was an opportunity to mix and mingle with the complex providing turkey and all the trimmings. Lovely. There was karaoke too that night. What a blast. We got to meet some new friends and neighbours.

Well that was quite a treat (Thanksgiving Day) The day started at John and Sandra's at 2 pm. There was enough food for 20 very hungry people and there were 10 of us. I lost all the pics by accidentally formatting the camera. Oppps!!!

We went to Periwinkle Park (on Sannibel Island) on Wed the 4th of Dec.with our new friends Bob and Janice (they are bird lovers and in particular, parrots) to see Libby and Dave Baird(who used to teach at MM Robinson high school in Burlington and actually taught Aprille before they retired) who run the parrot sanctuary there and put on  a free demonstration at 10 am. So guess what?????
There is no show on Wednesdays. So, we spent a great deal of the morning walking the beach at Lighthouse beach(our particular favorite). Then a great lunch and Tom Dick and Harry's.

Sunday, the 7th. I went up to Tampa (150 miles door to door) with my buddy John, to see the Bills and Bucs at Raymond James stadium. Awesome place. 65,000 capacity with armrests on every seat. People actually sat down to watch the game instead of standing and blocking our view ie. Ralph Wilson stadium in Buffalo. We had great seats(thanks John, with shade by 230 pm) on the goal line 7 rows from the field. Nice.
We arrived around 1020 am(we left Fort Myers at 8 am ) and spent the morning and part f the afternoon tailgating. What a blast. We met some great people and played "corn hole" with our immediate neighbours. I have a set of toss bags(all official weight and size of course) being delivered this week. We have the boards here at pool side but no bags(kids!!!!) So we will have yet another excuse to drink beer. LOL.
We tried to get an invite for burgs or sausages at the tailgate grounds,but alas, it was not to be.
We had to eat at the stadium. Don't ask.
We pre-drank at the parking lot.
Anyway, we were a part of Bucs history. We  were there when they scored a touch down from the  line of scrimmage( an 82 yd running play) which was the lost in team history and it was scored in the first 18 seconds of regulation which was the fastest TD ever scored.

It's now Dec 11th and it's hard to wrap our head around the fact that it's almost Christmas and we are basking in mid 80's during the day and mid 60's at night.

I just went on line to book tickets for the Florida Everblades hockey team for the 20th. I have not seen a single hockey game since the start of the season.

We  have new neighbours now, Ian and Ashley, a very nice young couple. Aprille baked some treats and they reciprocated with local Star fruit and bananas from his moms garden on Cape Coral. They were "the bomb"
