My thoughts on our way home from Kenya.

On the plane again, time on my hands and awake, watched 2 movie's already, not interested in anymore. We had breakfast, 🍳 and lunch, stewardesses now handing out water again for 2nd time, trying to keep us all ok👌 Stewardesses work hard, looking like they're pretty and nice, but watching them on this flight I see them doing many hours keeping people comfortable. 

I look about, 6 hrs more to go, sun's shining in as 1 window cover is open, another just opens, people now starting to be aware, been a long time quiet. A couple young kids, 2 years old or so, parents trying hard to keep them entertained, and not fussing. Most still sleeping 😴, but slowly the plane full will wake now. 

Me I'm happy to have decided to write, the more I do this the more I enjoy the creative part of thinking, and putting it here.

The screens are showing a plane turning about right now, then the route, we are above the middle of the Atlantic now, heading towards Miami, from Dubai. Seats are comfortable, until you are in them long. 

Polly is sleeping beside me, and and Indian man is beside her, he has window seat. He's now awake, watching a movie, he's been sleeping most the way so far, he's been on planes twice to get to Dubai from Deli, he works in Miami, second person from India we have met that works there, from India. 

So far has been a very good ride, little bit bumpy, every once in awhile, but really it has been good. Our seats are middle of the plane, 29-B-C, I can see the business class curtain they draw from here, I did think of getting one of those seats this time, but $640.00 each extra, just too much for me to do. 

A mother and her young girl just walk past, she's trying to keep her calm, the little girl slightly whining, now not happy, as the Mom keeps waking back and forth. Polly's such a good sleeper, I can sleep hard, but short bits. 

I picked a couple sappy movies today, I felt kind of emotional leaving our camp yesterday morning, saying goodbye to all, was a very good time we all had together, learning so much about the way others live on the other side of the world. 

I finished watching the movie about the Marsh Pride, called "Lion: The Rise and the Fall of the Marsh Pride" about a Lion 🦁 pride that has been decimated by poisoning from people, killed with Spears, and generally run to an end so people can have the land for there cows to graze on. I started watching it on our way to Cotter's, finished it today, was sad to see how man operates, many are trying to change the behavior, but the poison is still available, and still being used, spears not so much. One boy interviewed in the movie said his father was sent to jail for killing a lion. The Lion had killed one of his cattle. 

 The wild Africa we saw, is in smaller area's now, and shrinking all the time. Conservation is being forwarded, but many that live in Africa, their cows goats and sheep, are all they have to make their living. Other opportunities are being created, but not nearly fast as needed to stop the expansion of the domestic animals invading the wild lands. 

Yes I learned a lot while I was there, we all did. Will we like most return to our lives and go on, not doing anything to help change it? Good question, I'm not sure, but I do know the Safari group we were with is doing something. Calvin Cotter and his wife, and many others are continually working to change the way the people are with the animals in the conservancy they manage.

The way the conservancy has grown as it is the only way, once hunting was banned in 1977 in Kenya poaching increased as people had no other way to earn $$. When the government goes after the poachers, then what's left for them? Farming! Of course that changes the land use, wild animals suffer differently now, farm animals grazing becomes more important. As the farms grow, the wild animals suffer.

I'm not sure the plan, I'm going to read up more about it when we are home, but I do know from Doug, a gold rated guide at Cotter's that is involved in the conservancy on the board, says Calvin's plan is 3 steps, and so far they have completed step #1, and are working on #2. 

I wonder what I can do to help? I'm going to research this, as I understand more interest, can help change it. 

As we flew into Nairobi yesterday, I noticed so much construction, big huge buildings, and house's like we have in our country, huge. I don't see the village's changing, at least not yet. Always money the objective, I wonder if the people we saw in the village will get to see any of the $$, what can they do to improve their lives? 

     Each photo closer to Nairobi shows the                       increase in development 

They seem happy, no power to there village, a stick fence to protect them from there cattle and themselves from the wild animals, a community that is just barely making it is how I see it through my eyes, but happy, the kids all smiles. Who knows, changes that come may not be wanted, or help? 

          I'll never forget this moment ❤️

Hmm, never know, might be a determent having what we see as a better life? I watch our society now, people all drugged up, our kids, & adults playing video games to all hour's, eating poorly, excecise, all but gone. Who knows, the village may be the better way? Who knows. 

All I do know is I'm on a plane headed back to our trailer, and my bed will feel much better than the kids that may be sleeping on the dirt floor, inside a smoke filled little hut. 

Polly's awake now, busy with her game she likes to play on her phone, 

she asked when she woke, "What time is it? Are we almost there?" LoL I'm going to look in a minute, see once more how long we have yet. 

The drive to our trailer from the airport will go fast, about 11/2 hours. Polly's thinking we are going to town for dinner. I'm thinking we be falling into bed LoL 😆

See how it goes, I know we will eat again on this plane before we land, at least we did last time. As I finnish writing the little girl is now getting very vocal, not happy sitting still I'm thinking. Neither am I, time to go for a walk to the bathroom again, even just to get up. 

Yep I'm done, was nice to just think, and write again, during our time in Africa we were way too busy for writing, but I did much thinking.

The beds going to feel so nice 😴💤💤

Love our life🤗♥️

Thoughts on the way to Africa

On the plane, headed to Nairobi, I noticed the time 4:20, funny how this reminds me of Chris. First time I've really had a memory that didn't go sad right away. Is this a change up, or just a little bit of healing happening. 

Ted said he had a rough couple days this week, Ciara too. Steve called to give me a good vibe, he heard "Big League" on the radio, and he called. That felt so nice 👍

I'm thinking I'm starting to heal, just a little. I talked with Ciara this week about how I can remember a time that I was overwhelmed, and now I'm feeling just that little bit better. I talked with Penny about this too, was kinda different week, had so much good coming that the hurt didn't really have room to get in. 

We had a plan Polly and I, to go to Africa on safari, and during our summer visit with Mike & Linda we met her friend Carla, and talked about Africa and going on a safari, she had been many times. She had a trip planned, and invited us to join the group. We jumped at it, as was something we wanted to do, and timing was great.

Here we are now, almost to Nairobi, and in another day we will be at Cotter's Safari camp, in our tent, and riding the Kenyan wild with a guide, and a spotter in a jeep, looking at many animals we have never seen before. This feels like a dream come true, we both are very great full to have this opportunity. 

Polly points to the time, 2hrs to our destination, was a very long journey today, 14hrs to Dubai, then 51/2 to Nairobi. We arrive at 6:30am, we are traveling with 5 others on the plane, we met them at the airport, was quick, but looking forward to meeting all the group this afternoon, at 4:30 for drinks, and get together before dinner at a very nice restaurant. 

The window seat I have has a black view right now, but as we pull into Nairobi I'm hoping a mix of first light & city light's will be the view. Dusk is beautiful, but I believe nothing beats first light! 

I lay my head back a moment and think, lucky us. The stewardesses on the Emirates flights are all dressed in uniform that looks so smart, I forgot how dressy they could look. And here to start they have a special hat, with a sash tucked in, making them really look Arab like. 

Quiet and experience, very nice airline, with classy uniforms, and great service. Still when in the bottom ticket price, not much room in the seating though. Is a huge Jet, Boeing 777-300er 3 seats each side, and 4 across the middle. Lucky we are on the side, not the middle. 

Polly is sleeping, I finished my snooze, I can only sleep a small amount today, excitement is overwhelming, especially right this moment, as getting closer. I have to admit I had a couple times the feeling of, 😳 I can't just get off! But that went away quickly, just the feeling was real. 

Maybe I've just put the feelings of sad away for awhile, but I really think I've turned, or am turning the corner. I've many good memories of Chris, and that I know I'll keep alive in my mind, just I know sad can't and won't stay with me forever. The good is what I'll be remembering more of as time goes, I'm sure of that. 

A little bit of tears now, but not so sad as I was. Life truly does go on. 

Hug's to Chris and everyone 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️

Backed up to a sugar cane field, what a view.

We made our way from the city of Pembroke Pines, to Crooked Hook RV resort, close to Cleweston, a small town by lake Okeechobee. We had a very warm welcome here by many, from the office staff, Tammy & Nancy, to Marshall who so graciously move his trailer, as was In the spot we had reservation for. After setting up we sat outside in the shade and had a couple of our na beers, and talked, was a little noisey by the highway, but no ambulance firetrucks or police sirens, we thought a good trade up. 

Not long after we decided a swim was in order, so on with our suit's and towels in hand we walked down to the pool. Met the few people there, all interested in our trip here from Canada, 1couple from Montreal, one couple from Maryland, we talked us in the pool, them on the deck in the last licks of sun, enjoying the friendliness. We both really enjoyed this treat.

After an hour of this, the clock by the pool says almost 4pm, tiki hut time we are told, so off home to change, and grad a few $, then the tiki hut for a beer (buck a beer) with many,

all introducing us to others, and so darn friendly. The kitchen was offering spaghetti dinner tonight for $7.00 what a good deal, "if you go now" so off I go, I'll have 2 please. I took em back to our trailer, and came back to the tiki hut, and Polly is introducing me to another couple, from Ontario, and another couple from Maryland. Man what a warm welcome. 

We finished our beer, and back to our trailer we went, Polly said there is bingo tonight too, but she was not up for that, neither was I. We plated our spaghetti, and meatballs, sprinkled on some Parmesan included in the bundle, and in the microwave, was still warm, just needed a little more, and sat down to a really good dinner. We talked about all the people, and the warm welcome's we got, and how is just exactly what we wanted now. 

I'm not sure how we stumble on very good places, but I know this is just right, just what the Dr would have ordered. 

I woke early again, but very happily. Off for a walk about now, new place got to check it out at all times of the day. Sun just about to come up! 🌞

I can take this view for awhile 👍

❤️🤗

Anticipation, a feeling we all know.

Remember the last time you had it? Often if I'm anticipating something an event, or even a move as we travel, I have a early wakeup the day of the move. Today is one of those days, I wake at 4:45am, wide awake, knowing I'm not getting back to sleep. We move to another campground today, we went and looked before we booked for sure, is about an hour away, but knowing what we needed, a place to keep our trailer while we headed out on another adventure, we wanted to make sure was just what we needed. 

You see the lady I talked with making the reservation said at first they were all booked up, but then after explaining what I was looking for, she said we do have this place, be good, is power and water, no sewer. Hmm, well let's go take a look I said to Polly, and off we went.

It's now 5:12am, my anticipation just now was the drink of coffee ☕, and a bite of one of Polly's Mmm 😋 good cookies she made the other day. Mmm, life is tough,😃

The drive was good, nice big empty mostly highway, and the place was very nice, crooked hook RV campground, or Resort. The lady Nancy has a great way about her, she showed us exactly where we would be staying, was close to the highway, but we think be ok, as in country area, so in the evening be quiet. There is a pool, and the grounds look very well kept. We feel comfortable with leaving our trailer here for a week, and traveling. We booked for a month, as just as much as 2weeks would be.

Today we travel there, and I'm guessing that's why I'm awake so early, who knows, my sleep has been hit and miss for quite awhile now. But I have learned to take it in stride, as not much I can do about it. Waking early has always been a gift I think, gives me time, the best energy time to think. Read a little FB, search a few things we might be planning, plan out our next move. 

I'm going to do that next, I'm always looking for what's next? Funny how life is, I think I've written about this before, but I'll do again, how we plan and rush about getting ready for whatever is next, then before we even get to that, we are planning the next whatever. I say funny, but I guess what I really mean is interesting how we are always looking to the next step, then next event, the whatever. 

I've read, heard & thought of the saying "being in the moment" and right now, as I sit here with my shorts on, 

and my nice warm hoodie, phone in hand, coffee ☕ beside me, cookie on the other side, I'm truly "in the moment" ☺️

It's quite, I put my head back, listen, and stop typing, or pecking I like to think of it as. I just stopped for a moment and thought as I looked around with my head back, and thought how darn lucky we are to be here,

inside our trailer, safe, warm, content, or "incontinent if need be" LoL, our lives have had much lately, and we have been able to continue, just one foot in front of the other. 

Lucky, I should say fortunate, to live where we really have it all. Really have it all♥️

We will move again today, looking forward to be away from the sounds of a city, siren's, and firetrucks blaping there horn's trying to get by, cars late at night racing about. The sounds we realize we hear being close to the city. 

It has been nice looking about here, but we both know city dwelling is really not for us, too much rush rush, people all running over each other, trying to get? Where, up to the next bumper, the push push, that's not the way we enjoy life. So moving today out where people are moving a little slower, taking time to talk, and share how there lives are, what's up, what there next, will be nice for Polly and I. 

Cookie #3 done, that's it. LoL, Polly makes it very hard to not eat them, right beside the coffee pot.  

Now what? I said yesterday that I might take a drive and watch the sun come up here before we left, to go to the beach for this. But now as the trailer moves abit, I know Polly's awake, I think I just might just crawl back in bed for a little snuggle. Be a good day for that before we travel. 

I'll finish my coffee, and think on it just a little more, be a nice way to start the day. 

😃😁❤️🤗 I do love our life.

6:19am now, first siren of the day, I'm going back to bed. ☺️

2023 will we get a criminal case against the guy who drove his car into Chris this year?

It's been 3 months now since Chris Browning 

Our Son, Fiancee, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, & Friend to many was hit by a man, a young offender of 17 years old, on 76thst, by the Circle K store in Grande Prairie, Alberta 

No charges have been laid by the RCMP, on the Crown Prosecutors recommendations that no charge will stand up in court. We are told by the police there is no charge that they can proceed with, unless the witness that was in the criminals car has a change of heart and comes forward with what really happened in the car as the driver approached Chris. 

Can you believe this, with all the law's in our country, Canada, that there is nothing to charge a person with that drove into someone, and drove away, not helping at all? The whole event is on video, dash cam Ciara provided the police with, yet no charges. 

I think we all have a sense of what right and wrong, but what's legal or not? That is now a cloudy, foggy question, that lawyer's manipulate and massage until it fits the criminal justice system to get criminals off. 

In this case, when a man young or older, drives towards another, slows his car, then speeds it up, the runs right into the person, and drives with him on his hood until he gains speed, steps on the brakes throwing the person off the hood and onto the sidewalk or pavement then drives away. Is this legal? 

Asking the Grande Prairie's Crown Prosecutor, he agrees, it's a crime, there has been a crime committed here he said to us, as we gathered around the table in the crown council's floor of offices, but in his opinion in this "file" the criminal can't be prosecuted successfully. 

WHAAAT?  

That's most people's response when told of this criminal act! Most people as I said before have a sense of Justice, Right & Wrong. In this case the Crown is saying that it is impossible to win this case, as a previous case was fought and lost in the court's of our country, and the wording this is based on is "momentary laps in judgement" or "monetary laps in attention" from a case that was decided in 02-22-2008 R. v. Beatty in Supreme Court.

I just read, and Read, and read some more about the case's that have been turned over because of this wording, and some that have been won even with these words used by defence council. I have come to the decision I need help. I can't do this on my own, I need someone, actually many someone's to help figure this out, and decide what to do, where to go to get the legal system to charge this man with the crime he committed, take the case to Court & convince the judge that this was a crime, & that the man needs to be jailed, not walking the streets free after consciously driving into another human being killing him. 

I feel able to read this information as I started earlier this morning, I am searching for information that clears up in my mind why this decision is being made, why the crown prosecutor, Lawyer says to us there is no chance to win this. I believe he is wrong, but I have no way of pushing him to take this case forward. 

I believe this is a Catch 22, the police won't charge him because the crown prosecutor says it won't fly in court, and the crown prosecutor says he doesn't have any control over charges, that's up to the police! My head is full now, Polly is up now, I'm going to go back to bed I'm sure this morning. 

That was two days ago, I slept better the last two nights, still waking to thoughts of Chris and what happened, and what can I do? I feel compelled to do something, I just can't seem to leave this alone, there has to be a way to see this through, to get charges laid, and see this through the court's. 

I question if I want the man that told us he believes there is no way to charge this criminal to charge him, and take the case. Talking someone into representing Chris for us would be a mistake I believe. Another something to think about, yes this is mind boggling. 

I do need help figuring this out, what do do? who to go to? What next? Whatever it is I what to make sure I don't screw up the civil suit Ciara has going now, that's for sure. 

So I wait, I wait till I get some more information, something I have a hard time with. It's like idling, my mind keeps thinking of how to move forward, yet I know not to do anything to disrupt the civil suit. 

Hands tied here thinking, and no forward motion. I guess I'll keep reading, trying to understand this far reaching wording that to me doesn't apply here, "Momentary laps in judgement" just doesn't apply if a person pushes down on the throttle as he aproches a person he sees on the road in front of him, with his hands up asking him to stop, the driver slows, then speed's up running into the person, and then increases speed, stepping on the brakes after 1/2 a block throwing the person onto the ground, sidewalk & pavement causing catastrophic brain injury. Then drives away. No helping the person he hit, no stopping at the scene.

The police are quick to tell us he came back, after the police got there. Defending the perpetrator I think.

Death came a month later in hospital as Ciara, Paulette & I watched. 

I think as I wake, and as I go to sleep, does this criminal know how many lives he changed in the moment he decided to run into Chris? Does he care? I think likely he doesn't, but have no way of knowing. No information given to us by the RCMP about this man, his witness, or much of this.

So for now I'm on hold, I have an appointment to talk with Ciara's lawyer for the civil suit about the next steps moving forward. Maybe I'm just spinning my wheels, but I'm going to continue, until I find a way forward. Moving forward is my only way now, I just can't believe that this criminal act will be burried as the lawyer and RCMP seem to want. 

We are going to the beach today, and have been enjoying ourselves here in Florida since before Christmas, but I never forget, and never give up on the idea something can and will be done to charge this person with the crime he committed, and see him go to jail. 

It's January 11th. today another 2 day's and is 3 months since this traumatic event. 

January 13th, Chris's favorite number. 💔

It's now January 16th, I didn't know if I would post this on my blog, but here goes, nothing has changed, accept I'm able to sleep better right now, seems like the 3months since Chris's tramatic, catastrophic injury happened was bothering me. I'm still kida lost in this, I posted on Grande Prairie Alberta site, and had it removed after it started to take off, was just too hot to handle im thinking. 

When people hear about this they don't understand? What, no charge? How can that be?

I'm going to keep reminding people that justice here in Grande Prairie Alberta, has not been served, until somewhere somehow someone listens that can push this forward. I'm not sure how right now, but I'm not giving up, there has to be a way to push here that get this case to the courts. 

My thoughts, these are mine, just think of all the others effected by this and their thoughts! Is quiet a big deal, anger, hurt, understanding, reasoning, Questions, many, and much more. 

Another day goes by, tomorrow Ciara and I talk with her lawyer, try to understand the path forward there. Ciara is doing what she needs to do to move forward now, getting stuff in order. Chris had no will. Chase is going back to school, Colton not a day goes by he doesn't learn something new. Polly and I talk daily with them, is always interesting, and fun. 

Our lives move on, Polly and I continue to travel, we move this week to another campground, Crooked Hook. in the middle of south Florida, by lake Okeechobee be a nice change. Life does go on.

The case of Chris Browning is not going away, I'm going to make sure of that. 💔

Death and dieing

We, Polly and I have noticed a lot of friend's and friends of friends dieing the last few days, is especially hard when they are young, and have much yet to live for. 

On this subject I say live & love every day like you mean it, make the plan, dream the dream, think ahead, at the same time live for the moment. Many have said "I wish" at the end, well that's not going to be me, or Polly. We are and will continue to giver till we can't anymore. 

Most of you know we are not rich, but we don't ask someone to sponsor or lives, we sold our house before the boom in prices, no regrets. Polly's always saying to me we got more time than money, LoL I'm not sure of that. Time on this earth 🌎 is limited, we all know this, yet we act like we have lots of time, yet we know every day is one less we have. Yet we squander the days, knowing we only have so many. 

If there is something we have not yet done I'm sure we have thought of it, and some we have decided are not worth the cost, or the time. We have been scratching a few off the list as we have been traveling, this month and next we will have a few scratches that we have planned for years, never sure we would get to them.

Here we are again east in USA, we traveled east as far as we could in Canada, and south as far as we could here in USA, likely we will travel as far south west as we can when we return to California, just because! It was never realy our goal to travel as far as we could, more was to see all we could along the way. I think we have done this, and will continue as we go. 

Meeting people is very easy for me, I'm fortunate, Polly always bugs me when I walk back in the house and say I met this guy, or I say I was talking with this woman! Or I know the dogs name but I forgot the owners name! I can always hear Polly say, "Oh do tell!" LoL 😆

Or "Really" like she was not surprised 😆

I used to hand out a card that had our name and faces on it, had our information, email, phon#, and our blog. I have a couple left, I don't hand them out so often, I usually just tell them of our blog, and if they want our phone number, often all we do is connect on FB, that's easiest. Then we are connected, really connected. Then if we are ever where the friends are, we know, and can meet if they want, or we want. 

There are times we pass by and don't get to visit, but mostly if we can we do. We will be heading west in late February, one of our bucket scratches is Graceland. After being Elvis & Marilyn on our tenth Anniversary, I have had a hankering to see Graceland, Polly too. We were scared away our first time by people saying Memphis was a dangerous place, lots of crimes, you don't want to go there. Since we have listened to others saying that's not the whole place, go, see the parts that are the history of Elvis. Listen to the music 🎵🎶, enjoy Memphis. So we will.

Sometimes I wonder if the bucket list will ever be all scratched off, but mostly I just keep adding more to the bucket, LoL that keeps us moving forward. Polly has this way of saying "I was thinking" 🤔. LoL, always I'm careful about this line of thought, I never really know what's coming 😆 Polly's adding all the time.

I woke this morning at 3am, sad thoughts have a way of creeping in as I lay in bed awake, so up I get. This morning I decided writing would help. Well it did, I feel better now, my first cup of coffee ☕ is not done, but it's cold. LoL, I'm going to pour another now, it's 5:38, guess time went by fast. Happy I could pass it here enjoying the thoughts of the future, while thinking of past memories. 

What a mix life is hey, today is another that we will see the sun, and feel the warmth of our winter choices. 5:41 now, just clicked another few minutes off my life. Wonder when it will end, Wonder if the bucket will be emptied. I'm not sure, but I am sure we will have given it the best dam kick we could. 

Every Day, another chance to get that one more kick in 😉 today no plans to start, but I wrote this, and that's something. 👍

❤️🤗 Love our life. 

PS, I know something I'm going to do today, I found a few good shells yesterday, I have a plan to make something 😃

I wonder this morning, seeing this sign.

My walk today was Later than usual, and sunny out, another beautiful day. Feeling a little sad as I went then this sign. I thought to myself I wonder 🤔, there are many ways to start your day. Today was a different start, but a beautiful day, warm, in shorts 🩳 with flipflops on coffee ☕ in hand a good way to start. Still I felt sad, after a short time I changed my tune, the wind came a little, the trees started to sway, the breeze felt so good. All the sudden I felt better, just a little bit of walking helps, a little change, a little exercise, and my world changes. 

That was yesterday, today was a great start, I slept good, the morning was a little earlier, and the sky was beautiful 

I got a blip on the phone, messenger, Shayla, now that's a good feeling, yet I know she's up too early. We talked a long time this time, had time to go back to the trailer, and Polly was up so we both got a good talk in with Shayla, was a really nice way to start our day today. 

AC on now, 9am and Polly's question, so what's up today? Hmm, well I hoped to go to south Miami and take a bus tour, hop on hop off. That's what we will do today. Always options here, just got to go. 

The ramblings of the retired tourist, LoL

Thanks for the call Shayla, always helps hearing a familiar voice when not expecting it.

🤗❤️

PS, I got a message from Ted, who's so busy I can't imagine. Nice to keep in contact.

Also Steve this morning, a message about his busy life too. Always nice to be connected.

Life goes by fast, reach out, be connected, be there, be present. Make a difference 🤗❤️

There's more than one way 👍 😁

It'sa New Year now, still effected by our last.

Today usually a good feeling going forward as I think of myself as being positive and forward looking, this year is definitely different. 

Polly Love's with her cooking, fantastic 😍❤️

            Polly put on a nice dress

       Cheer's 🥂 I put on a dressy shirt too 

Our New Year's Eve was nice, Polly made the best dinner, beef Wellington w mushroom gravy, smashed fried potatoes, green beans and kale salad. Mmm 😋 good. We also had bottle of sparkling Pink Moscato, was very nice 👍 With Polly's dinner always a wonderful desert, Crème brûlée was her choice. 

We watched movies we hadn't seen for years after as great amount of channels here. 

We talked with Ciara Colton & Chase before we got too tired, always a pleasure. Wished them happy New Year, and felt silly right away doing this, was a really sad feeling. Being honest here, I just don't know how to feel about our New Year. 

🎉🎉🎉 I do this, but I feel this 💔💔💔

Most of the time I'm doing ok, but I have to admit that life just doesn't feel the same, and looking forward is so freakin different this year. 

I talked with Penny this morning from early till about 9:30, was good, some sad, but we both understood without talking that we "didn't Wana go there" so we kept it fun, and silly, just talked. Was nice to start the day. Actually still messaging with her as I write. She's now talking about the Whitney movie that out, she's want to watch. 

Polly has mission to go to "Publix market" a store here in Florida, we have been to a few, they are very good. Polly's gone for a shower now, I'm sitting here still feeling like, what's next. Polly made me a great breakfast, left over steak from a few nights ago, & egg's. Yes I'm a very lucky man 🤗

I went for a walk earlier, took Penny with me, messaged as I went, and took a few photos, was a foggy start here. Was a nice time, flip flops and shorts, 2nd coffee ☕ in hand as I went, looking for places to put it down so I could take another photo, or message again LoL, was kinda funny. 

Polly's now telling me she found another one of the Beatles we aquired in Quebec, still a few hatching I'm thinking, buggers. Down the toilet I hear her saying now 😳 Good, I don't want this to be an ongoing thing. 

Back to my foggy walk, was quite, not a person about yet, just me my coffee and phone. 

      I sent this one to Penny, she laughed 

Is a nice park here, all paved sites, with grass between.

Another good walk about today, I expect a few more as we here till the 20th. We have to move a few times, be a pain, but that's how it goes when we haven't booked ahead a long time. 

Big site's so I can have the truck in front, so don't have to unhook if I'd don't want to, but I did, just like to be level and steady. AC on now, is hot outside, going to be past 80° today again. Nice to have double AC, and 50amp power. 

Well I'm going to look see if our next site is available and move if we can. 

The life of a transient RV master lol.  Polly's getting ready as finished showering, and getting the trailer ready to go. I did one job she wanted me to do today, unclogged the salt shaker, not a big job, but she's happy 😊 having it done 👍

New Year's day, that's it. On we go, forward best we can. All for today. 🤕😊
