Alabama, Gulf Shores - Wednesday, November 27, 2013 - Gulf Breeze RV Resort


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.
