Just to
bring you up to date since I’ve missed a few days. First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy
Thanksgiving. Even though we aren’t with
them in person we are with our family and friends in our thoughts and in our
hearts. God Bless.
On Sunday we
were going to go Christmas shopping. We
got all ready to go and the bike wouldn’t start. It didn’t respond to the trickle
charger. So, we called our friend Mike
to see if he and Sheila had left for Indiana yet. They were still here so he came over and took
Greg to Walmart to see if maybe they had a battery like we needed – no luck.
On Monday
one of our neighbors here in the campground brought his pickup and jumper
cables over and helped Greg get the bike started. We took off for Harley Davidson in Pensacola,
FL. That was closer than Mobile, but it
was still a little over an hour to get there.
Greg took the tools with him to change out the battery once we got
there. The weather forecast called for
80% chance of rain in the late afternoon and we could see it getting
closer. We were able to get in a stop
for a few groceries and got home before the rain got here.
From late
afternoon Monday through most of the day Tuesday the wind blew fiercely and the
rain came down. If the wind gusts were
rocking us, I can’t imagine how it felt in some of the smaller units here. The weather has taken a cooler turn into the
mid-40s, but I know that is nothing compared to what they are getting in some
parts of the country. Everyone please
travel carefully over the holiday.
Today we
went out to do some Christmas shopping for the grandkids. When we came out of Target I said to Greg,
“It seems weird to come out of Target after doing Christmas shopping and see
palm trees”. He said, “It doesn’t seem
weird to be doing Christmas shopping on a motorcycle?” Well, there is that, I guess I’m just getting
used to shopping on a motorcycle. We are
back home now with a pumpkin pie in the oven making the house smell really
good.
We’ll be
going to Cracker Barrel tomorrow for Thanksgiving dinner. We have extended our stay here until Sunday. Then we’ll be headed back to Gulfport to get
our new refrigerator cooling unit installed – I’ll be so glad. We’ve made it just fine especially now that
we have our new coolers. But, it’s so
much easier with a fridge.
