I AM SO FAR BEHIND IN  UPDATING THAT I MAY NEVER GET ALL THE PICUTRES ENTERED FROM  OUR TRIP.  IT IS NOW PAST THANKSGIVING AND WE HAVE  BEEN HERE ALMOST A MONTH.  SO MUCH HAS BEEN DONE. THE KITCHEN IS HALP DONE.  WE ARE HAULTING THAT JOB UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER.  HUBBYS COUSIN FROM GERMANY AND HIS WIFE ARE PLANNIGN TO STOP BY IN THEIR TRAVELS  THIS MONTH WHICH WILL BE A GRAND TIME.  HE ALWAYS HAS GREAT STORIES TO TELL.  HIS SO  WHO LIVES IN DALLAS AREA WILL BE DRIVING HIS AND HIS WIFE WHILE THEY ARE HERE  SO WE WILL GET TO SEE HIM AS WELL.  HAVE TRIMED THE HOUSE.  SPARINGLY AS MOST OF OUR DECORATION ARE UP NORTH BUT  THEY CAN COME DOWN  ON THE NEXT TRIP HERE.  HAVE WORKED AT SOME COOKIES FOR THE HOLIDAYS.  SO I WILL HAVE SOME TO PASS.

 

 

 

WENT FISHING THE OUTHER DAY AND COUGHT NOTHING BUT HAD A GOOD TIME WITH BROTHER AND SAW MY FIRST ALIGATOR.  THEN YESTERDAYA WE SAW THIS HUGE BIRD AND I GOT A PICTURE OF IT ,  IT WAS A TURKEY SEAGULL.  NEVER HEARD OF THAT KIND OF BIRD  BUT BOY WAS IT BIG.  SWOOPING AND DIVING  RIGHT NEAR THE PIER WHERE WE WERE FISHING.  MADE A  LOUD SQUAKING NOISE  NOT LIKE A TURKEY FOR SURE.
