Florida, Jacksonville - Thursday, December 12, 2013 - Pecan Park RV Resort


Not much to report tonight, since I last posted on Monday I’ve been down with something – fever, head congestion, aching.  So I slept for a couple of days while Greg kept things going.  I was up today at noon, fever is going down, congestion is breaking up and I’m getting my energy back.

I did get outside and soaked up some sunshine this afternoon.  It was in the high 60s today.

Florida, Jacksonville - Monday, December 9, 2013 - Pecan Park RV Park


First thing this morning we walked up to the office to get some ice for our coolers.  That’s it way down at the end of this road – it’s quite a walk.
 
 
We stopped to take a picture of the pool on the way.  Still a little cool to take advantage of it.


The temperatures are very warm and windy today, makes our flags look good.


We made a trip to the post office to get our packages on their way to Indiana and Kansas, should be there by Thursday.  I think we must have beat the Christmas rush, not many at the post office and they still had some Christmas stamps.

Greg found the extension cord so more pictures of our decorations will be coming shortly.
Some people here in the park go all out with their Christmas decorations.


This is our outside Christmas décor.  Greg nixed the idea of outlining the coach and all of its windows with little twinkle lights.


I didn’t do much this afternoon.  I baked a cake and then went outside and took a nap in the shade (it was too hot in the sun).

Florida, Jacksonville - Sunday, December 8, 2013 - Pecan Park RV Park


On Saturday we went in town to find one last Christmas gift – no more shopping on the weekend until after Christmas!!  Traffic was terrible.
I started to wrap presents today and found that I didn’t have any gift boxes.  I walked over to the Flea and Farmer’s Market which is right next door and was able to pick up some boxes and a nice poinsettia.

 
The market is open on Saturday and Sunday and seems to do a pretty good business, but the farmer’s market isn’t much this time of year.


There was a whole lot of stuff I didn’t need.


I did manage to get all of the presents wrapped.  Not so many this year, had to have some presents shipped direct so I didn’t get a chance to make them pretty.


We did get some of the Christmas decorations put up before we got too tired.  Some of the decorations are on hold until we find our extension cord.  It’s around here some place – it couldn’t have gone far.

This is on the dash just as you come in the door.  This nativity set is from Precious Moments and is made from cast iron.  I’ve had it for several years and now it is just perfect for our small space.
 
 
The dining area


Bathroom got a little decoration


Above the fridge – once again Greg gets the skimpy stocking
